DA One Step Closer to Regaining Control of Nelson Mandala Bay

By

Dear MyPE

The Democratic Alliance (DA) yesterday claimed two by-election victories in Nelson Mandela Bay’s wards 35 and 37. In doing so the party took a step closer to regaining control of the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality.

The DA’s Ward 35 candidate, Helga van Staaden, emerged victorious and obtained 83.3% of the vote.

Georgina Faldtman, the DA’s candidate in Ward 37, also won through and obtained 55.4% of the votes cast.

This endorsement from the voters proves that the DA remains on track to return to government in Nelson Mandela Bay.

Under the ANC/EFF/UDM coalition of corruption service delivery in the City, and especially the Northern Areas, has come to a virtual standstill.

The residents of this City have suffered long enough under the ANC/EFF/UDM coalition of corruption and we are confident that a DA-led government will shortly return to power in Nelson Mandela Bay.

Nqaba Bhanga
