Wayile, Sihlwayi death threats

25 January 2013

NELSON Mandela Bay's new bus system has been disrupted again as mayor Zanoxolo Wayile and his deputy, Nancy Sihlwayi, claim they are being threatened by "dark forces" – including some councillors – opposed to an investigation into the system's missing millions.

The two told a full council meeting yesterday that people with loud-hailers had gone around parts of the city this week calling for them to be "eliminated".

Because of the threats, the buses did not operate on Wednesday and yesterday, Wayile said.

He and Sihlwayi have also accused some councillors of spurring on taxi bosses to sabotage the long-awaited integrated public transport system (IPTS), which finally got off the ground on Monday.

Only when the anc learn to stamp out corruption once and for all,and be seen to be doing it,will they understand that this is the only route out of the path we are heading down.

If there was good governance in the country by the ruling party we would not get to this sort of situation where the tails wags the dog, which is what the soft c@(k approach of the ANC allows. They unfortunately do not want to upset any of their potential voters even if it is in the voters best interest. Pat as we see amongst the ANC there are elements that want anarchy because that is when they flourish with their corruption, and the ANC does very little to manage the situation
