The Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality (NMB) runs the risk of losing out on more than R590 million of an equitable share from the National Treasury.
A street money changer counts South African Rands.
The monies are withheld until the metro deals with the issues around the appointment of Anele Qaba, its former Executive Director for Economic Development. Anele Qaba and the metro eventually parted ways after a R3 million payout, following a protracted disciplinary process.However, findings from an auditing firm refuted the outcome of the process.
“We’ve seen this movie before in the financial year 2020-2021, where national treasury held an amount of up to R1.6 billion from the city because of our failure to adhere to some requests that they had. And at that stage, it had a severe impact on the city, impact on service delivery that we’re probably still feeling today. I think that it’s a very sad indictment that something that should not have happened at that stage is happening twice in such a short period of time,” says Odendaal.
