On Tuesday 9 April 2024 I posted a question to the Nelson Mandela Bay Media WhatsApp group asking for clarity on why the Municipal web site was down, stating; “It has been a while now – Is it JUST me? No luck on Safari, Chrome, Opera, Maxthon or Firefox”
AS PER NORMAL – I was once again ignored prompting me to wonder whether I should change my names to reflect my African’ness. Something like Andile Wandile Sisulu or just AWS for short!
Today I popped on over to the NMBT web site and got the SAME “server not found” message.
BUT – the MBDA web site is still up and running.
SO, one cannot help but say that the MBDA have definitely got one up on their sole shareholder – the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality as at least their web site works!
The municipal sites have been down this entire week
