#KeepMakingProgressNMB: Provincial Leader Bhanga to lead picket

By

Dear MyPE

Tomorrow, 30 November 2017, Democratic Alliance (DA) Eastern Cape Provincial Leader, Nqaba Bhanga, will lead a picket outside the Nelson Mandela Bay (NMB) City Hall. The gathering is in support of Mayor Athol Trollip and his team’s leadership and the change they have brought to NMB.

Under the leadership of Mayor Trollip, the DA-led coalition government in the NMB Metro has over the last 18 months made significant progress in delivering on its three broad election commitments of stopping corruption, creating job opportunities and delivering quality services.

The deliberate interventions by the new government have been so effective that the NMB municipality has been rated the 2nd most trusted metro municipality in 2017, after being the 2nd least trusted under the previous ANC government, which was rejected by the residents of the metro.

Thursday’s motion of no confidence in the new NMB administration is nothing but a ploy by the ANC to regain control of the people of NMB’s money and reverse the great work of the DA-led administration.

The ANC cannot allow word of the DA-led coalition’s successes in NMB to spread to other parts of the Eastern Cape, where service delivery in non-existent, jobs are lost every day and billions of Rands worth of corruption rob people of opportunities.

The work we do in NMB is only just a taste of what is to come when the people of the Eastern Cape vote for a new government and new beginning in 2019.

To make our voices heard in support of the progress made, thousands of NMB residents will gather as follows:

Date: Thursday, 30 November 2017
Time: 08:30
Location: Vuyisile Mini Square (in front of the Nelson Mandela Bay City Hall)

We call upon all NMB residents to come out in their numbers to ensure that we Keep Making Progress in NMB.

The gathering will be addressed by, among others, DA Provincial Leader, Nqaba Bhanga, Mayor Athol Trollip, and DA Provincial Spokesperson, Mlindi Nhanha.

Regards

Mlindi Nhanha
DA Eastern Cape Provincial Spokesperson
