ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa has called on supporters to wrest power away from the DA in Nelson Mandela Bay by backing the ruling party in the November 1 local government elections.
Ramaphosa was in Gqeberha on Sunday, his second day of campaigning in the Eastern Cape after starting off in Buffalo City the day before.
Speaking to Ward 60 residents in Wells Estate, he said: “It is important that Nelson Mandela Bay returns under the ANC’s leadership. Those in charge of Nelson Mandela Bay are messing up because they are not meeting the needs of our people. No houses were built when the DA was in power, they were last built by the ANC.”
In 2016, the ANC lost the Nelson Mandela Bay Metro and the DA governed through a coalition with other parties.
