The Nelson Mandela Bay Ratepayers Association and AfriForum PE say they made it clear at the time when former municipal manager, Lindiwe Msengana-Ndlela was victimized by politicians and municipal officials, that they would hold them accountable in their private capacity if she was forced out of her position.
Spokesperson, Kobus Gerber says at the time, they also requested the MEC to intervene, but she was left with no option but to resign.
Yesterday, the Port Elizabeth High Court ordered the Metro to pay Msengana-Ndlela more than R3.1 million in a civil case, following her abrupt departure in 2013 after just five months into her five year contract.
Speaking on the DMB on Algoa FM on Tuesday, Gerber said their legal team was now waiting for final judgment to sue all politicians and officials involved, in order to recover ratepayers money that had been wasted in the process.
