Nelson Mandela Bay Metro coalition is not working, says MEC
East London - The coalition government of Nelson Mandela Bay Metro was not working, Eastern Cape Finance and Economic Affairs MEC Oscar Mabuyane said on Tuesday.
"We are very much unhappy with Nelson Mandela Bay for not being here. Clearly that coalition is not working; it is falling further into chaos, they can't even meet the basic requirements, they don't even honour meetings where they are invited, it's on a downward spiral and is in bad shape," said Mabuyane. Amatlhathi Local Municipality, which had experienced service delivery protests, also did not "honour the meeting", he said.
“The status of spending is not good at all," he said, adding that the root cause of under spending was "poor planning and a shortage of skills due to a lack of leadership". "It's a serious challenge, because it means we will take long getting into how we service our people and deal with issues of development in the province. If they can't spend money on municipality infrastructure grants but they can spend money on salaries there is something wrong.
