Trollip lays criminal charges against NMB mayor Bobani
PORT ELIZABETH - Nelson Mandela Bay Mayor Mongameli Bobani had a track record of purging municipal managers who pursued investigations into the Integrated Public Transport System , dubbed the city’s biggest corruption scandal.
In 2013, Bobani applied to the Port Elizabeth High Court for the suspension of then city manager Dr. Lindiwe Msengana-Ndlela, accusing her of being unqualified for the job. The court dismissed the application and Bobani was responsible for costs. Le Roux said that he had a meeting with former IPTS head Mhleli Tshamase and Gerwel at her offices in July 2014.
“The problem with that statement is that it was never signed and it made it very difficult for anything to happen. It was frustrating... there’s always a technicality that allows these cases to go quiet, like Bosasa.” According to Trollip, the statement had since been signed, which saw the former mayor moving to lay charges against Bobani.
In the latest move aimed at Nelson Mandela Bay city managers, Bobani led a crusade for the suspension of city manager Johann Mettler. During his tenure, Mettler had also laid criminal charges against Gerwel and former Eastern Province rugby boss Cheeky Watson.
