Nelson Mandela Bay mayor Danny Jordaan has cast his vote in the metro. Speaking to journalists after he submitted his ballot, the Safa president insisted the northern areas in the region will boost support for the ANC and ensure the ruling party will not share less that 55% of the vote.
Danny Jordaan was appointed as Nelson Mandela Bay mayor in 2015 and is standing as the ANC mayoral candidate for the 2016 local government elections. Already, his administrative skills and financial management are beginning to bear fruits as the municipality recently recorded a surplus of over R1-billion. But some political observers believe the ANC’s intervention to install Jordaan as mayor came a little too late to save the ANC’s demise.
