High Court grants urgent hearing over Section 12
20 Dec 2022
The Gqeberha High Court has granted an urgent hearing on the merits of the Section 12 amendment which would see a change in the mayoral executive system in Nelson Mandela Bay. This is according to the Metro Executive Mayor, Retief Odendaal who lodged an opposing urgent application together with the Democratic Alliance. The Eastern Cape Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs MEC, Zolile Williams, signed a notice to scrap the system of governance in the Metro earlier this month.
