DA federal chairperson Athol Trollip also laid fresh criminal charges against mayor Mongameli Bobani and acting city manager Peter Neilson.
The Democratic Alliance in Nelson Mandela Bay has called for an urgent intervention by Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Dr. Zweli Mkhize, requesting the metro be placed under administration in terms of Section 154 of the Constitution.
Neilson has been the fourth acting city manager in the metro since September last year and according to the DA his appointment was irregular, citing the absence of minimum qualifications and competencies. Trollip said the resolution to terminate the firm’s mandate was adopted in a manner that could not be implemented by the administration.
Trollip said there was also a conflict of interest in that Bobani was implicated in alleged fraud and corruption within the IPTS project. “Capital expenditure for the financial year as at the 9th of April 2019 was 33.42%. Given the fact that there is only two months left to the end of the financial year it seems impossible that the administration will fully commit all of its conditional grant allocations.”
