Sound Familiar? We Want the Mayor Out!
So the calls to get rid of yet another Nelson Mandela Bay Mayor are increasing. Since the days of Nceba Faku we have yet to see a Mayor actually serve his or her term out completely. Let's just pause and re-examine that phrase; "serve his or her term" - an accepted way of describing the holding of office by a public official.

I found the contents of the letter misleading and dangerous to the unity of our organization. The contents disapprove the trust the organization placed on Mr Wayile when he was deployed in this highly responsible position in Council. Mr. Wayile, NMBM Executive … [Read more...] about Orchestrated political crises in the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality
Why Lifting the Moratorium on Land Sales is a BAD Idea
At the Special Council Meeting of the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality on 25 January 2010, the Executive Mayor Zanoxolo Wayile announced the lifting of the moratorium on the sale of Municipal Land. In the same breath he said that the moratorium was being lifted only with special pre-conditions attached. At the council meeting Wayile refused to reveal these special conditions. Naturally we all know (or suspect) that these 'pre-conditions' on the sale of Municipal land will be of a social and … [Read more...] about Why Lifting the Moratorium on Land Sales is a BAD Idea
