Employment – There is no Dirty Agenda Here

14 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 concerns around Employment – allegations of ‘cousin-sister’ nepotism and the accusation that the employment of Acting City Manager, Johann Mettler as the de facto City Manager constitutes a dirty agenda.

Alan Straton

Chief Cook, Bottle Washer and Broom Mechanic at MyPE
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.
