Mabe says “We knew , I mean look, if you think of it the ANC is the only party that has never gone to court to stop any of these “Wannabes” from governing , we have never done that . We have never done that, we lose Nelson Mandela Bay, the secretary of Nelson Mandela Bay is then found welcoming the outcomes of what would have happened in that metro.

Morero was delivering his acceptance speech following his election in the council’s chambers in Braamfontein. Morero has apologised to residents for the ANC’s past mistakes adding that they have learned from them.
