Hawks raid NMB mayor Bobani's home
Port Elizabeth - The Directorate of Priority Crime Investigations on Tuesday raided the house and office of Nelson Mandela Bay Executive Mayor Mongameli Bobani.
Gouws, who was at the raid, said Bobani cooperated fully with officials. He said that there was an issue with the warrant regarding the "admissibility of the search."He said his main focus was the residents of the metro, elections and campaigning for his party the United Democratic Movement . In October last year, the Hawks raided PE City Hall with a search warrant and seized documents and computers from the municipality. It is alleged that the Hawks were investigating the municipality's Integrated Public Transport System.
In 2013, Bobani applied to the Port Elizabeth High Court for the suspension of then city manager Dr. Lindiwe Msengana-Ndlela, accusing her of being unqualified for the job. The court dismissed the application and Bobani was ordered to pay costs.
