Payments to the consultant company that had hundreds of small business owners converging on the Gqeberha City Hall will be fast-tracked once outstanding documentation is provided.
Water was gushing from the ceiling at Gqeberha’s City Hall on Tuesday morning. The water leak briefly disrupted a meeting between Nelson Mandela Bay mayor Nqaba Bhanga with public works MEC Babalo Madikizela.
