AMAT (Pty) Ltd, contracted by the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality for three years, faces the task of reducing revenue losses through electricity theft by R50 million annually for the duration of their contract.

ANC reveals disdain for NMBM residents
It would appear as if President Jacob Zuma and the National Executive Committee of the ANC have given the Nelson Mandela Bay a ceremonial mayor. The 81-year-old Ben Fihla was yesterday in Cape Town to attend a meeting in parliament. It is very disappointing that our executive mayor deems this more important than to attend to the numerous challenges facing our metro. The residents of the Nelson Mandela Bay Metro have, once again, been treated with flagrant disrespect by the ruling party … [Read more...] about ANC reveals disdain for NMBM residents
ANC infighting paralysing city administration
The continued in-fighting between the Faku/Wayile factions within the metro has succeeded in effectively paralysing our city administration (We will get Wayile - Faku, The Herald, 20 August 2012). The dogged refusal by senior structures within the ruling party to adequately address the rift between the two which is indicative of the jockeying going on ahead of Manguang is even greater cause for concern. The incessant meddling into city affairs by those at Florence Matomela (Standard) House … [Read more...] about ANC infighting paralysing city administration

We Should Thank Nceba Faku
There is no denying that the utterances of Comrade Giraffe, Nceba Faku, has swung a stadium full of spotlights onto the four main protagonists in this tussle of the dung beetles - The Herald, Nceba Faku, the ANC and Port Elizabeth - please note that only The Herald and Nceba Faku are identified as the famous Addo flightless elephant poo rollers. A long long time ago and in a suburb far far away I was told that the only form of bad advertising was NO advertising. The inference at the time was … [Read more...] about We Should Thank Nceba Faku

I have irrefutable proof that at least TWO loyal ANC cadres do read MyPE ........ If you need to catch up on this view have a look at the comments by Wd7464610 (aka 'the slippery one' or WD40 for short) at the bottom of this article on MyPE: The Most Viewed Article on MyPE this Year. As you will see from the comments there is some debate going on as to whether the 18 May Election Poll on MyPE was manipulated by some mysterious 3rd force or not. Be that as it may I am sure that you will … [Read more...] about Dear WD40
Nceba Faku Revolootionary
Son of the soil, communist, trade unionist, entrepreneur, revolootionary and now failed son of Nelson Mandela Bay........... Nceba Faku Instead of graciously thanking your supporters for staying the course with you and promising them better government and transparency you chose to play that tired old game, loved by Primary School bullies and called transference.
