The president says the coalition spends most of its time putting votes of no confidence against mayors instead of doing the work of council.

The Nelson Mandela Bay municipality coalition government – which is led by mayor Mongameli Bobani of the United Democratic Front, but is mainly made up by African National Congress councillors – is “not working” and is failing, President Cyril Ramaphosa said on Sunday.

“Here in this metro we are locked in a coalition that is not working. This coalition government is not working and you know why? Coalition governments never really work well. You only need one political party to run the affairs of government. We have to get to the point where we have one boss and in our case that’s the ANC,” said Ramaphosa.

An investor summit last year had raised R300 billion and he wanted a portion of that money to go to the Eastern Cape for job creation and businesses. Ramaphosa also paid his respects to the family of 12-year-old Alvineesha Brooke, who was killed last month when she was caught up in gang crossfire in Port Elizabeth’s northern areas. “This is not electioneering, this is about showing compassion,” he said.
