AIM Secures Deputy Mayor Position in NMB MyZA

The Abantu Integrity Movement (AIM) congratulates it’s ViC (Volunteer in Chief), Mkhuseli Jack, for being elected to the position of Deputy Mayor for the Nelson Mandela Bay Metropolitan Municipality after the grueling Vote of No Confidence in former Executive Mayor, Eugene Johnson, in the early hours of Thursday morning’s council meeting – 22 September 2022.

AIM is a fledgling movement in Nelson Mandela Bay that contested the 2021 local elections and secured one seat which propelled Jack onto council as a respected activist with the aim of making this city work for all it’s citizens.

After an initial failed coalition AIM is confident that Jack will be able to continue his positive influence on all parties in Nelson Mandela Bay under the newly formed coalition with the DA’s Retief Odendaal as Executive Mayor.

Jack, under the last coalition government was the MMC for Economic Development and Tourism and says of his role; “I was able to slip into that position with relative ease as I have a good background in economic development. This stood me in good stead with members of the portfolio committee and officials alike. Our committee meetings were well attended by all.”

Commenting on his new role as Deputy Mayor Jack acknowledged that the position demands a different skill set and that he remained determined to continue positively influencing all role-players and stakeholders to put people first.

The AIM Members and Executive are immensely proud of Jack’s new role and his continued ability to identify like minded people who put our City and South Africa first.
