Seven people are confirmed to have died during a devastating flood in the Kariega (Uitenhage) area following heavy weekend rains in Nelson Mandela Bay.
There is considerable uncertainty around whether Nelson Mandela Bay metro still has its DA mayor, Retief Odendaal. Eastern Cape MEC for Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Zolile Williams has promulgated a decision to change the municipality’s structure from an executive system to a collective one, in effect removing Odendaal from his job.
