DA PR councillor Leander Kruger takes over from Rashied Adams

By

The DA’s federal executive terminated the membership of Nelson Mandela Bay Ward 1 councillor Rashied Adams, 26, the DA’s youngest councillor in Nelson Mandela Bay, on Sunday 10 December.

The decision follows a notice to suspend his membership after he failed to pay a compulsory tithe to the party.

Adams has no recourse to an appeal.

PR Councillor Leander Kruger has been appointed as care-taker Councillor in the interim. The date of a by-election to elect a new ward councillor will be communicated as soon as it is available.

“The Ward 1 office remains committed to excellent service delivery. Their systems and protocols will ensure that residents continue to receive assistance,” said Kruger.

Ward 1 comprises a portion of Summerstrand, Seaview, Mount Pleasant, Schoenmakerskop, Lovemore Park, Sardinia Bay, Deer Park, Bushy Park and the southern portion of Kragga Kamma.
