FF Plus blames poor governance for worsening Nelson Mandela Bay water crisis

# The Freedom Front Plus says years of poor planning, weak management and neglected maintenance have worsened the water crisis in the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality in the Eastern Cape. According to the party, the recent floods exposed deeper problems, with several reservoirs empty or critically low, thousands of residents without water, and some receiving discoloured tap water. The FF Plus’s Bill Harington claims the metro has spent just 22-percent of its infrastructure budget and faces a 44-percent vacancy rate in its water directorate.
