NELSON MANDELA BAY GIVEN SEVEN DAYS TO ELECT MAYOR Luvuyo Mehlwana ~.
THE PORT Elizabeth High Court has ordered Nelson Mandela Bay speaker, Buyelwa Mafaya, to call a council meeting within seven days to elect a mayor.
This is despite the city’s coalition partners and Co-operative Governance MEC Xolile Nqatha stricking an out-of-court settlement.
Nqatha wanted the court to nullify Nqaba Bhanga’s election as mayor.
Bhanga was elected mayor at a chaotic special council meeting in December.
During that meeting Mafaya was manhandled and forcibly taken out of the meeting, allegedly by men believed to be municipal bodyguards.
Patriotic Alliance councillor, Marlon Daniels, was elected acting speaker in order to elect Bhanga as mayor.
