Mongameli Bobani, representing a party with only two seats on the Council, also did not last long. Then Tsonono Buyeye, whose party only managed the grand total of one seat in the elections, also made an unremarkable cameo appearance as our Mayor. And now Nqaba Bhanga is practically doing a second stint in the same term of this Administration.<\/p>\n<h2>We AIM to change the course of the Nelson Mandela Bay Metro.<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_101639\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-101639\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/?attachment_id=101639\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt width=\"700\" height=\"350\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" class=\"wp-image-101639 size-full lazyload\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/aiming-for-27-october-2021-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-101639 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/aiming-for-27-october-2021-1.png\" alt width=\"700\" height=\"350\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-101639\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Abantu Integrity Movement.
