Chaos and criminals in the Bay

-

The Desperate Alliance’s desperatio­n to keep control of Nelson Mandela Bay reached new lows on Thursday when it teamed up with the Patriotic Alliance. Yes, the party run by ex-convict Gayton McKenzie. Party leader Mmusi “Mini-Obama” Maimane was called out on social media when he attempted to lay the blame for the chaos during a council meeting on everyone but the DA.

“Just watched the ANC verbally assault and chase out the pastor who prayed this am during the council meeting. This militancy and a refusal to uphold the constituti­on. This is a sad for the democracy of #NMB. A failure to operate in opposition by the ANC,” tweeted Mini Obama.

Former Cosatu staffer and Sasco leader Lazola Ndamase responded: “Is your alliance with CONVICTED CRIMINALS upholding the constituti­on?”
