The Mayor Owes NMBBC Five Rand

31 May 2011 By Alan Straton

In his Mayoral acceptance speech today, Councillor Zanoxolo Wayile made reference to a certain recently renamed business institution as; “PERCCI”.

Now, regulars at the NMBBC (which USED to be known as PERCCI) will be well aware that the staff have a forfeit system going at the offices and elsewhere – should anyone refer to the Nelson Mandela Bay Chamber of Business as PERCCI then they need to pay a FIVE RAND fine.

Now I wonder which intrepid NMBBC’er will be toddling off to collect the fine from our Executive Mayor?

I am sorry Mr Mayor - for uttering the PERCCI word you now owe the NMBBC Five Bucks!

Passionate about Port Elizabeth and definitely NOT packing for Perth. Alan's ethos is epitomised in the words of Nelson Mandela; "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." See more articles by Alan.
