Well Now, THIS is Embarrassing as MBDA Give Better Service Than NMB

11 April 2024 By Alan Straton

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

Guess whose site is still up and running? Well Now, THIS is Embarrasing as MBDA Give Better Service Than NMB

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.
