Barely into his first 100 days in office, Nelson Mandela Bay Mayor Gary van Niekerk survived a motion of no confidence during the metro's council meeting.
Nelson Mandela Bay Mayor Gary van Niekerk has retained his position following a failed motion of no confidence.Following delays that lasted several hours, the motion was debated and voted on at 19:30.
In the motion, Zumani alleged Van Niekerk did not uphold the code of conduct and misled the council by omitting that his application to change the name of the Northern Alliance to the National Alliance was already approved by the Electoral Commission of South Africa on 28 May. Demands were subsequently made from the floor by different parties that the speaker, Eugene Johnson, obtain legal advice on whether Van Niekerk should form part of the council before the meeting proceeds.The parties also used those several hours to caucus, after which it was decided the legal opinion would be shared before proceeding with the rest of the agenda.
