ANC regional head Nceba Faku has come out guns blazing, vowing he will never back down on his quest to have Nelson Mandela Bay mayor Zanoxolo Wayile and his team of executives removed because they are "incompetent”.
Faku was responding to criticism by some of the country’s biggest trade unions who called yesterday for him and his cronies to be disciplined for holding the city to ransom and stifling service delivery and development.
