Nelson Mandela Bay suspends fraud-accused City manager

The City manager of Nelson Mandela Bay, Noxolo Nqwazi, was on Friday suspended in an emergency council meeting that lasted several hours.Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana laid down Nqwazi's removal as one of the conditions to disburse more than R700 million in Equitable Share Grant funding owed to the municipality since July.

She is currently on trial in the Gqeberha Specialised Commercial Crimes Court on fraud and corruption charges. The charges stem from her alleged involvement in a toilet tender of more than R24 million, fraudulently awarded by the municipality a few years ago.Who we choose to trust can have a profound impact on our lives.
