is expected to table a motion of exigency against the Executive Mayor, Gary van Niekerk. The motion will be brought to have his Executive Delegated powers removed.at the Feather Market Hall in Gqeberha today.
The DA says the Mayor has breached the code of conduct of councillors and the Municipal Finance Management Act by appointing a service provider irregularly. The ACDP has laid criminal charges against van Niekerk on this matter. Other matters expected to be discussed at the meeting include the future of City Manager, Noxolo Qwazi, who is facing charges of fraud and corruption involving a toilet tender worth more than R24 million in 2018.
Nelson Mandela Bay DA Caucus Leader, Retief Odendaal says, “You cannot allow a person that interfered in the administration, interfered in the supply chain processes, and incurred half a million in debt to have broad-ranging delegated powers, which include being able to move money around to the value of R15 million. So, we are going to try and get the delegated authority away from him, as we believe it is in the interest of the council.
DA council member Retief Odendaal says it’s in the best interest of the NMB that Acting City Manager Noxolo Nqwazi be removed. Today a special council meeting has been called with the plan to consider the removal of city manager Noxolo Nqwazi.
