Note to Editors: Please find attached a soundbite by Andrew Whitfield, MP.
The process of getting Nelson Mandela Bay working again is finally underway after the DA and its coalition partners removed the ANC from power.
Today, 22 September 2022, DA Cllr Retief Odendaal was elected as the new Executive Mayor of Nelson Mandela Bay after the majority of opposition parties at a council sitting voted to save the residents of the metro from the corruption and mismanagement of the ANC.
The DA congratulates Mayor Odendaal on his election and we know the metro is now in safe hands.
Mayor Odendaal was first elected as a councillor in 2009 and served as the leader of the DA Caucus between 2014 and 2016.
