Payback The MONEY!

More than 500 Nelson Mandela Bay residents gathered at Gqeberha City Hall to demand accountability in the R25 million transformer lease scandal. The DA is taking action in the High Court to hold Mayor Babalwa Lobishe and former Acting City Manager Ted Pillay personally liable for any unlawful expenditure linked to the deal. Public money must be protected, and every cent unlawfully spent must be recovered. Nelson Mandela Bay deserves transparency, accountability and a municipality that works for all! 💙 #GetNMBWorkingAgain

Today, the DA took the fight for accountability in the R25 million transformer lease scandal straight to City Hall. We have launched an application in the Gqeberha High Court to hold Executive Mayor Babalwa Lobishe and former Acting City Manager Ted Pillay personally liable for unlawful expenditure linked to this dodgy deal. We want every cent of unlawful expenditure recovered from those responsible. Public money must be protected, and those responsible for unlawful spending must be held accountable. Nelson Mandela Bay deserves clean governance. On 4 November, unite behind the DA. Together, we can end the chaos, restore accountability and #getNMBworkingagain #Retief4Mayor
