Suspension of water supply to Sunday’s River Valley
Dear MyPE It has come to the attention of the Democratic Alliance that the Sundays River Valley Municipality has failed to make payments to the Lower Sundays River Water User Association since July of this year. The outstanding debt amounts to R 1 005 569.45. The citrus industry in the Sundays River Valley is the second largest contributor to the economy of the Eastern Cape. Restricting or suspending water supply will not only infringe the constitutional right of everyone to have access to … [Read more...] about Suspension of water supply to Sunday’s River Valley
ConFushin
The Longhair, Maternal Unit and I were treated to supper at this well known Stanley Street eatery on Wednesday evening by Di-BundleOfEnergy-Anne. A new menu with less emphasis on Sushi and more on fusion type Asian foods promises to get Sushi snobs (I only eat my own Sushi after spending an entire day preparing rice!) like myself back into Richmond Hill. One could then expect a bit of confushin from a new menu. A sweet but new waitron took our drink orders which included a bottle of … [Read more...] about ConFushin

Proposed bus utilisation strategy to alleviate ongoing IPTS crisis
Dear MyPE Nelson Mandela Bay's IPTS is South Africa's most expensive public transport bungle in any Metro. With over R1-billion already lost, it is an outrage that these buses are just standing here collecting dust and are rusting. Minister Jeff Radebe recently launched Transport Month, which proposes that "together we move South Africa forward". Apart from sounding a lot like the familiar ANC tagline, it is also ironic considering that in Nelson Mandela Bay no one is moving forward on … [Read more...] about Proposed bus utilisation strategy to alleviate ongoing IPTS crisis
Take Back the City Initiative
Residents of the Metro were heartened yesterday by a parade of power that proved collaboration between the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Municipality, law enforcement agencies, the MBDA and the Community Policing Boards and private sector security. The impressive parade – which marched its way through the streets of Central – and subsequent launch event at Vuyisile Mini Square, in front of City Hall, marked the launch of the Municipality's plan to enhance security across the Metro. On show at … [Read more...] about Take Back the City Initiative

Crumbling Sizakele Khanzi Sports Centre a monument to neglect and mismanagement
Dear MyPE The Sizakele Khanzi Sports Centre is dilapidated and unusable because the ANC used it as a project to dish out contracts, with absolutely no foresight, which has not benefited the people at all. This is a sports centre that could have provided countless jobs and recreational facilities to local NMB residents. It is the duty of local government to deliver services to the people and yet, time and time again, we see the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality fail to deliver anything at … [Read more...] about Crumbling Sizakele Khanzi Sports Centre a monument to neglect and mismanagement

Momentum builds in NMB as DA wins SRC election
Dear MyPE The DA welcomes news of yet another DA win at NMMU, where DASO now occupies 12 out of the 20 seats and holds a 60% majority. This is a resounding endorsement of the DA's record of good governance. Young voters are standing behind the DA because we deliver on our promises and work to create opportunities for all people. The momentum in NMB is undeniable, and as our campaign builds more and more people are expressing their support for a DA win in Nelson Mandela Bay Metro. I … [Read more...] about Momentum builds in NMB as DA wins SRC election
Roland Williams’ suspension must be followed by a full investigation and prosecution
Dear MyPE The DA welcomes Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality's long overdue decision to suspend Roland Williams, Municipal Director of Communications, and various other officials. The DA has been consistent in pushing NMB Municipality to deal decisively with Williams. Williams has been dogged by controversy over the years, but has been protected by the ANC throughout, and is clearly not a fit and proper person to represent our Municipality. Williams oversaw the irregular and illegal … [Read more...] about Roland Williams’ suspension must be followed by a full investigation and prosecution
Nxuba community cries foul over demarcation process
Dear MyPE The Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) have once again allowed the ANC to manipulate and interfere in the demarcation process regardless of objections from the communities affected. In a truly democratic South Africa, communities have the freedom to engage with a government that is committed to fairness, transparency and responsiveness. The people of Nxuba (Adelaide and Bedford) have not been given this opportunity. A letter sent to Cooperative Governance Minister Pravin … [Read more...] about Nxuba community cries foul over demarcation process
Women’s Network continues to fight for gender justice
Dear MyPE The Democratic Alliance Women's Network pickets for gender justice because South Africa is a stunning country but we are struggling against a socio-economic heritage of inequality, selective justice and unfairness. We have one of the best constitutions in the world but battle to translate the paper rights of our constitution into real rights for South African women. For example, black rural women remain the most marginalised, excluded, poor population group in South Africa. We … [Read more...] about Women’s Network continues to fight for gender justice
