THE feud between ANC councillor Marion Harning and Nelson Mandela Bay internal auditor Bonnie Chan intensified yesterday when Harning stormed out of a committee meeting, saying she could not sit in the same room as Chan, who is suing her and two other councillors for R1-million.
Chan wants Harning, ANC chief whip Joy Seale and UDM councillor Mongameli Bobani to pay for interrogating her and accusing her of being racist in a municipal public accounts committee (MPAC) meeting in July last year.
