MBDA Hits Back and Schools Council
In response to a notification from Council (See: NMB Council Puts a Damper on MBDA’s 20 Year Celebrations) the MBDA have basically told Council and the City Manager to take a hike and are sticking to their guns.

NMB Council Puts a Damper on MBDA’s 20 Year Celebrations
The month of August 2023 is a month of celebrations for the Mandela Bay Development Agency as they mark 20 years in existence.

Qaba v Odendaal – Good News (for some) and Bad News (for others)
