Nelson Mandela Bay will never be the same again - Trollip
Port Elizabeth – DA mayoral candidate Athol Trollip said on Thursday he had never seen the ANC fretting over results as they were in Nelson Mandela Bay.
Addressing media on the steps of the IEC results station in the region, with dozens of DA supporters singing and hanging on to his every word, Trollip said the party had got what they wanted in Nelson Mandela Bay.
"Those things we promised the people of PE during campaigning will now come true. From today, corruption is done. From today, we will start creating jobs. And services you had asked for, you will get," he said.
Trollip said their victory started with the Kouga municipality, because the people there could see what was happening in the Western Cape and they wanted it there.
"We have won Nelson Mandela Bay. I'm not sure if we had got an outright majority, but we will be the biggest party, we will be putting a government together," he said.
