After a three-year search, Nelson Mandela Bay deputy mayor Khusta Jack was finally reunited with a good Samaritan who hid him from the security police in the dark days of apartheid in 1980.
Moments after Nelson Mandela Bay council speaker Gary van Niekerk was ordered to pay the costs of a court application challenging the validity of a no-confidence motion against mayor Retief Odendaal, some of the parties within the governing coalition were gunning for him to personally foot the bill.
A group of smaller parties in the Nelson Mandela Bay coalition are convinced they have done enough groundwork to convince at least three other parties not to sign a new petition that will seek to call a meeting to try to oust the city’s political leadership.
With an impressive clientele list of original equipment manufacturers (OEM), closing a deal to buy Forcecore Industrial Services was a no-brainer for Africa Auto Group (AAG), which has set its sights on being a leading coating supplier for component manufacturers.
If the parties gunning to unseat mayor Retief Odendaal are successful, the ANC has revealed in a report that it is not fully in support of the Northern Alliance (NA) taking mayorship.
