DA Eastern Cape Legislature

NMB, you were incredible today! 🔥 The atmosphere was electric; Asinalo uvalo (we have no fear). With your support, we will restore our city and get it working again. 💙 #getNMBworkingagain #Retief4Mayor

NMB believes in a strong DA to #getNMBworkingagain 💙 Thank you, Chatty, for the overwhelming support today as I shared my 5 pledges for our city. #Retief4Mayor

The stage is set at the Chatty Community Hall 🤩 where I’ll be announcing my 5 Pledges to #getNMBworkingagain Catch the live stream on the Democratic Alliance Eastern Cape Facebook page from 10:00 Where will you be watching from? #Retief4Mayor

The community of Lapland, left without water for over 2 months, now has access thanks to the DA and support from Eco Tanks. The DA won’t stand by while our communities are neglected by this uncaring government. Together we can #getNMBworkingagain

The DA was on the ground in Kensington (Ward 7), working to help clean and restore our communities. This is work that belongs to the municipality, but our public representatives remain committed to stepping in and making a difference where it’s needed most. #getNMBworkingagain

Visited the Nelson Mandela Peace Park. What should be a proud symbol of our democracy has been left to fall into disrepair, a reflection of neglect and a failing government. A DA led municipality will protect infrastructure, and work with residents to #getNMBworkingagain

YHO NMB!!! Mayor of Nelson Mandela Bay Babalwa Lobishe was grilled in Parliament… and it showed! 😅 The Mayor can’t even find her own Chief of Staff or PA, so how exactly is she going to find our missing electricity? ⚡🤔 It’s not just the lights that are going off in NMB… 😅

I recently shared my vision for NMB. Bad governments can be replaced, and a stable DA government can fix years of neglect Imagine a city that works for you, where services are delivered & leaders serve with integrity. We can #getNMBworkingagain #Retief4Mayor

Silly season is here, and so are the bots claiming we only show up at election time 😂 This photo says otherwise. This was during my tenure as mayor, where we rolled up our sleeves & got the job done. Let’s rebuild our city with a stable DA government. #getNMBworkingagain

Ek was in Lapland, waar inwoners al lank sukkel met waterprobleme. 💦 My boodskap is eenvoudig: As jy water in jou pype wil hê, stem vir iemand met murg in sy pype om die gemors uit te sort. #getNMBworkingagain #Retief4Mayor

A walk through Korsten shows a Metro in decline where by-laws are ignored and enforcement has collapsed. NMB needs a caring DA government that will uphold the rule of law, restore services, create jobs, make our streets safe again & #getNMBworkingagain #Retief4Mayor

NMB’s water crisis is man-made: years of neglect and failing infrastructure. This election we must choose competent, ethical leadership. Only a strong DA majority can restore services and get our city working again. #getNMBworkingagain #Retief4Mayor

Honourable Speaker, the people of this province do not expect miracles. they do not expect perfection. But they do expect honesty. They expect accountability. And they expect urgency. #Jobs #Economy

How can we speak of development, dignity and growth when so many of our people are living in fear? #safety #crime #easterncape

Leadership that stabilises municipalities. Leadership that restores investor confidence. Leadership that protects jobs. Leadership that delivers services. Leadership that tells our people the truth. #Leadership

Provincial government carries veterinary services. That responsibility includes deploying veterinarians, enforcing quarantine, administering vaccines and monitoring compliance farm by farm. #Agriculture

The citrus industry has proven what disciplined governance and partnership can achieve.Where systems are tight and institutions are responsive, growth follows. #Agriculture

In the 8 months before we were ousted, a DA-led admin fixed 20 000+ potholes. To #getNMBworkingagain, we need a DA government that creates an enabling environment for job creation, restores services & makes our streets safe again.

The DA welcomes the R55 million emergency funding to secure Foot-and-Mouth Disease vaccines in the Eastern Cape. This is a critical step to protect farmers, jobs and food security, but it must be backed by swift rollout, proper oversight and full transparency. #agriculture

NMB is in crisis, too many residents feel unsafe in their own homes, forced to shackle ourselves while criminals roam freely in our streets. These are some of the plans that a DA government will implement to make our streets safer and to #getNMBworkingagain :
