Ward 19 clean up

By

Dear MyPE Yesterday, the DA's Ngqura Constituency office, led by Consituency Leader, Nqaba Bhanga MP, took to the streets of Ward 19 in Kwazakhele to clear hazardous debris.

Nqaba Bhanga joins the DA

By

The invite was to the Nangoza Jebe hall in New Brighton sent out by the DA to announce their new member. I am pleased to say that I am no stranger to the Nangoza Jebe Hall nor to areas deeper in the townships that are probably only visited by policemen and medical personnel. It has been a while, though, since I had to enter the townships in the middle of the night under a blanket in the boot of a car ......... Walking from outside towards the entrance to the hall I was followed by a fellow … [Read more...] about Nqaba Bhanga joins the DA
