Shivambu calls Bobani Nelson Mandela Bay's 'caretaker mayor' | IOL News

Port Elizabeth - Economic Freedom Fighters deputy president Floyd Shivambu on Friday referred to Nelson Mandela Bay executive Mayor Mongameli Bobani as a "caretaker mayor", put in power by EFF councillors.

Shivambu, who arrived two hours after the meeting was meant to get underway, said that the EFF had taken a decision to put "caretaker" Bobani in a position as a mayor for now. He alluded to a post-election scenario in which the EFF could remove Bobani as they did former DA mayor Athol Trollip. He also criticised the African National Congress in Nelson Mandela and referred to them as "thugs who don't even report to their own structures".

Other issues raised were poor healthcare services and corruption. Shivambu said that under the EFF, with a clear plan, the country could have a healthcare facility in each and every ward. "The EFF is not on the side for ourselves, we are about a better quality of life for all our people. We are going to fight corruption. Let us give the EFF the power to conduct daily affairs," he said.
