Bloodshed in Council – Speaker Defended

15 December 2016 By Alan Straton

The opposition party in Nelson Mandela Bay, the ANC, delivered a petition to the new government on 1 December citing 13 ‘areas of concern’.

Here Nelson Mandela Bay Mayor Athol Trollip responds to the Council Meeting Crisis where glass jugs were hurled by Councillors at opposition.

Two ANC Councillors had charges laid against them.

Trollip said; “The allegation is baseless, it serves, if it is indeed true, as an indictment on the ANC administration that would have presided over such anomalous decisions over the past 23 years.

Passionate about Port Elizabeth and definitely NOT packing for Perth. Alan's ethos is epitomised in the words of Nelson Mandela; "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." See more articles by Alan.
