Dear MyPE
The Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality’s inability to pay municipal workers their salaries for July highlights that the ANC-led coalition of corruption feels nothing for the struggles of workers and residents.
During a time when the Covid-19 lockdown is wreaking havoc with our economy the non-payment of staff is simply unacceptable. I will, therefore, write to the Chief Financial Officer to request that he investigates this as a matter of urgency and gives feedback to council.
Under the ANC-led coalition of corruption, the Metro has seen a massive decline in its financial stability and its ability to deliver basic services. The City is riddled with corruption and acts of criminality.
When the DA, together with its coalition partners, governed Nelson Mandela Bay, we delivered services, stamped out corruption and ensured that the City was financially stable. All this hard work has been undone by the coalition of corruption.
The ANC-led coalition of corruption is running the City like a crime syndicate in order to steal the people’s money.
Covid-19 related corruption is also on the rise as ruthless companies overcharge the Municipality for Personal Protect Equipment (PPE).
The DA will fight to root out corruption and improve services in order to move Nelson Mandela Bay forward once again.
