On 08/05/2022 Alan Straton from Ward 7 wrote this to the Nelson Mandela Bay Council:
At present our Councillors are fighting over a dwindling pie with dwindling gravy. Before the gravy runs out and the pies gets eaten NOW is the time for our Councillors to forget Party Political dictates and PUT Nelson Mandela Bay FIRST. And, if you think like a thief then take a long term view: If Nelson Mandela Bay becomes rich and favoured once again THEN the miscreants will have something to fight over after 4 years!
And asked the Councillor to please:
For the remainder of your term ONLY Vote for the City and NOT on Party Political Grounds
Reduce or put salary increases for Coucillors on hold
Tackle and stop Corruption
Fill all vacant posts with permanent staff
Solve the Water Crisis
Put a stop to illegal electricity connections
Clean Our City
Fix the Potholes
Fix our Street Lights
Solve the Bucket Crisis once and for all
