Pothole eradication a major focus in Nelson Mandela Bay

By

Dear Editor

The DA and its partners in Nelson Mandela Bay’s multi-party coalition government has hit the ground running and has been working on a programme to eradicate 20 000 potholes in the Metro.

Today, 7 October 2022, I was joined by the Secretary General of the PAC, Apa Pooe, MMC for Roads and Transport, DA Cllr Kabelo Mogatosi, and MMC for Sport, Recreation, Arts and Culture (SRAC), PAC Cllr Bassie Kamana, in conducting an oversight inspection at sites of pothole repairs in Kariega/Uitenhage.

The DA and PAC are members of the multi-party coalition government that also includes the NA, ACDP, DOP, FF Plus, AIC, AIM, GOOD and the UDM.

We were able to see the excellent repair work that was done by MMC Mogatosi and the directorate of Roads and Transport to a massive pothole in Kariega. (picture here, here and here)

MMC Mogatosi is driving the #ValiPothole campaign to eradicate 20 000 potholes within the first 100 days in office and will initially direct his focus to the main routes.

This is just another indication of how coalitions succeed when parties work together around the common goal to deliver services and good governance to residents.

We are united in our quest to ensure transparent governance, building the economy and the metro’s finances, creating jobs, delivering services and tackling the water crisis.

Nelson Mandela Bay is now governed by a capable coalition government that is rebuilding the municipality and setting it on a new path towards a better future.

We will not be deterred from fixing the mess left by the previous government, and are committed to standing with the residents of this metro to get Nelson Mandela Bay working again!

Nqaba Bhanga, MPL
DA EC Provincial Leader
