Fired Buffalo City Metropolitan Municipality mayor Xola Pakati has dropped a bombshell letter claiming his party, the ANC, directed him to hire its preferred candidate as a municipal manager.
In January 2022 the Nahoon Estuary Forum successfully obtained a court order against Buffalo City Metro (BCM), giving the municipality 180 days to address the continuous sewage spills into the Nahoon River from the Nompumelelo township in Beacon Bay.
Rolling blackouts and the vandalism of sewer pump stations in East London are causing major sewage spillages that are polluting the city’s beaches and rivers.
