Two days after being appointed to the mayoral committee of Nelson Mandela Bay, former mayor, Mongameli Bobani, already knows what he wants to do.

The UDM councillor was appointed at the Mayoral Committee Member for Infrastructure, following the departure of controversial ANC councillor, Andile Lungisa.

This despite evident internal disagreements within the governing coalition over his appointment.
The ANC-which holds the majority of seats- have been vocal about their outright rejection of Bobani taking over Andile Lungisa's job.

Bobani will address the media on Thursday on the key areas he will focus on in his new role, particularly to address the water crisis.

According to the Municipality, Bobani has already had two sessions with senior management of both infrastructure, energy, and engineering directorates to get an overview of each department.
