Dear MyPE The Nelson Mandela Bay Ratepayers Association (NMBRA) and AfriForum PE are not satisfied with the resignation on Tuesday of then Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality Integrated Public Transport System (IPTS) boss, Mhleli Tshamase, and want him charged for corruption. "We achieved one of our goals with his suspension - and he knew that we got so much proof of corruption on him that he rather prevented himself from facing a disciplinary hearing that he decided to resign," said NMBRA … [Read more...] about Ex-Nelson Mandela Bay IPTS boss Mhleli Tshamase must be charged for corruption

Ratepayers Association calls for civil charges against corrupt officials
Dear Ratepayers, Business and Civil Society, It has become very clear that after six years of listening to all the promises made by the politicians to the consumers and ratepayers of the Nelson Mandela Bay Metro that all these promises are no more than lies whilst the looting of the ratepayers coffers continues. Key officials within the institution have become political appointments in order that they can be manipulated to carry out the political mandate and if any official dare go against … [Read more...] about Ratepayers Association calls for civil charges against corrupt officials

Metro fails to make headway in probing damning Kabuso report allegations
Dear Ratepayers, Business and Civil Society, Failing to take any action against all implicated in the Kabuso Report since 2009 proves once again that we are facing a huge challenge to eliminate corruption, mismanagement and incompetence in our Metro.

That is the real reason why not enough evidence could be found to proceed … [Read more...] about Metro fails to make headway in probing damning Kabuso report allegations
End of our reward winning Metro
Dear Ratepayers, Business and Civil Society, The recent chaos at the Traffic department is proof that our Metro is not interested in providing services to ratepayers and business.

Just after the industrial strikes the staff at the traffic department decided to go on a mass sick leave. A couple of weeks ago, reports that 3 traffic officers refused to assist a pedestrian who was knocked down by a … [Read more...] about End of our reward winning Metro
Metro building plan approvals halted
Dear Ratepayers, Business and Civil Society Yet another typical example of a dysfunctional Metro; NO building plans can be approved due to the Metro not having the position of Inspector filled (see message below). The Acting Executive Director Human Settlements Directorate is not approving the appointment of the only candidate to pass the competency test, allegedly because he is Caucasian. This means that ALL development in the Metro has come to a complete HALT because the above Acting … [Read more...] about Metro building plan approvals halted
“Award Winning” NMB Metro
Dear Ratepayers, Business and Civil, Society, Controversial NMBM spokesperson Roland Williams who was suspended, with full pay, for tender irregularities involving the World Cup gantries, called the NMBM "an Award Winning Metro" live on Algoa FM on Tuesday morning while "stuck" in PE traffic. Well now we have heard it all. Let's start with the fact that our so-called "Award Winning" Metro received a very poor report from the Auditor General. It is also no secret the Metro has been without a … [Read more...] about “Award Winning” NMB Metro
