Political parties sign petition in fresh bid to oust Bobani – report

Nelson Mandela Bay mayor Mongameli Bobani might be facing a fresh bid to remove him as the DA, with the backing of Cope, the African Christian Democratic Party , the Patriotic Alliance and six ANC councillors have submitted a petition to the speaker’s office urging her to hold a special meeting by next Friday, a report says.

The publication reported that all DA, COPE and ACDP councillors have signed as well as PA councillor Marlon Daniells, a member of the current coalition government. This brought the number of signatures to a total 66 out of a council of 120, it said. The party’s councillor, Marlon Daniels, filed the motion and it was seconded by the ACDP’s Lance Grootboom. In the notice, which News24 has seen, Daniels stated that Bobani couldn’t be “trusted” in office. At the time, Bobani said the motion was the PA’s way of seeking recognition.

Bobani later remained NMB mayor after the Patriotic Alliance deserted its motion of no confidence against him, News24 reported. The nine-hour council meeting was marred by bickering, intimidation, profanity and accusations.
