ANC chief whip in Bay throws in the towel

12 February 2013
Rochelle de Kock

MONTHS after she defied Eastern Cape ANC bosses by refusing to step down, Nelson Mandela Bay chief whip Feziwe Sibeko succumbed to the pressure, resigned and apologised to the party.

Sibeko, who narrowly escaped a three-year suspension from the organisation at the weekend, will still remain a member of the ANC and a councillor.

A dark cloud will continue to hang over her head for the next three years, however, as she could be booted out of the party if she steps out of line.

Affirmative action is failing the ANC and robbing the poor.Taking us back to the dark ages.The ANC is failing the poor with all these price hikes in every sector.Take a look around you,you will be surprised at what you see.Our country is falling apart while the government does nothing to rectify the situation.In a report tabled before parlament,it was stated that crime is falling.What we see is that crime is on the rise,so much that we as citizens doesnt have rights and criminals has more rights.Logic wasnt a subject at school.

Yes lets all vote for a political party that is prepared to get the finances and service delivery in all respects back on track for all in the greater Metro area, Vote DA

So the internal squabbles of this incompetent party take our Metro another step towards final collapse. Forget service delivery to the poor of Walmer, or people sick from polluted water supplies, the cadres have to continue their juvenile battle for power. The citizens need to realise that the grip the party has on the Municipality is not impossible to overcome - in all of our interests we need to vote these clowns out. Then a good start would be to expose the legacy of failure and corruption, starting with re-opening the recommendations of the Kabuso report on the Faku allegations.
