Nelson Mandela Bay Mayor Mongameli Bobani has said that 100% of the municipal budget will be directed to poor areas.
According to a report in the Herald, Bobani made the pronouncement at an Integrated Development Plan meeting at the Nangoza Jebe Hall in New Brighton.
In a speech on Friday, captured on video, Bobani said: "Drains are problematic, houses are deteriorating and those of you living in shacks get drenched in water, and some of you don't have toilets…
"We are in charge now, and [for] this coming budget process. We're not talking about the previous budget, of which we have no idea how it was even passed, because we tried to stop it.
