Dear Editor
There has been a lot of hype about ANC president Jacob Zuma’s appointment of a task team in the Nelson Mandela Bay Metro.
What people should realise is that this is about saving the ANC from itself. It is a last, desperate measure to cling to power.
The only party that can save the metro is the Democratic Alliance.
Cadre deployment, whether you employ less weak people to council, will still result in the same outcome.
Cadre deployment is the root of all evil in our society. People get jobs not on what they can do, but on who they are connected to.
To turn this metro around, we need to bring Cape Town-style governance to Nelson Mandela Bay.
The DA is on track to do this.
