ANC on mission to steal NMB from DA

-

Nelson Mandela Bay (NMB), as a major city in SA, sits in a strategic area, with the Eastern Cape providing a strong support base of potential voters.

It also offers a lot of food at the corruption trough for those eager to gorge themselves on state money at the expense of the citizens.

For too long now, ANC leaders have been riding the NMB gravy train with scant care for anyone else.

Leaders are elected to serve, not to be served.

What we are witnessing in NMB is a clear and present danger to the rest of SA.

The DA has come in to clean up the municipali­ty. It has already tackled vast amounts of corruption in the city, cleaning up procuremen­t and improving service delivery.

Why then is there this ferocious and unrelentin­g attack to remove Athol Trollip as mayor?

Well, he is a prominent, capable leader in the DA who has put a lockdown on the troughs of rent-seeking. He stands in the way of those eager to pilfer from the state.

The ANC is on a mission to remove the DA in a power grab that will steal NMB away from the people and put it in the hands of the looters.

Wake up citizens, the ANC does not serve, but wants to be served. The state capture project is still very much alive.
