Athol Trollip is the mayor of the Nelson Mandela Bay metro.


Port Elizabeth – Nelson Mandela Bay deputy mayor Mongameli Bobani on Tuesday, said there were no cracks in the metro's coalition government quelling talks of apparent tensions, confirming a meeting with Democratic Alliance (DA) leader Mmusi Maimane and United Democratic Movement (UDM) leader Bantu Holomisa.

"There were no cracks in the coalition there were only different opinions and as per our coalition agreement, when there are different opinions our agreement is clear that it must be escalated to our provincial structures and ultimately to our national leaders," said Bobani.





Bobani was addressing the media following a first special council meeting for 2017 on Tuesday afternoon.

Last week, a special council meeting collapsed following a disagreement between mayor Athol Trollip, from the DA and Bobani, from the UDM, over the recruitment and expulsion of senior managers in the metro.





An inter-party meeting was held on Monday night, with UDM and DA party bosses attempting to resolve issues which brought a Nelson Mandela Bay council meeting to a deadlock last week.





"We had to involve our national leaders that is Bantu Holomisa together with Mmusi Maimane and last night we had talks and the differences were resolved in terms of the agreement. We are on record to say there are no cracks in the coalition, difference of opinion can happen anywhere," said Bobani.





He added that UDM was now happy with the appointment of current City Manager Johan Mettler.





"The matter around Mr Mettler has been put to rest. As the UDM we supported him but we just wanted to ensure that we are in compliance as the city and that has been taken care of. As of now the UDM and the coalition government are fully supporting the municipal manager," he said.





Meanwhile, African National Congress party leader in the metro, Bicks Ndoni told reporters that the ANC had no intention of bringing a motion of no confidence against Trollip despite Nelson Mandela Bay ANC spokesperson Gift Nqgondi confirming rumours earlier this week.





"I am the leader of the ANC caucus in council and if there is an official position it will come from me. Gift is an activist who is helping in that caucus, it has nothing to do with divisions. The ANC outside council agreed on that position, we had a meeting and we agreed that would be the line we would be towing. The regional structures agree with me. It's an unfortunate thing that this thing of motion of no confidence went out, it's an individual who said that and maybe he misread the situation," said Ndoni

Stabbing accused blamed principal for losing his job

Johannesburg – Some details of the private life of the man accused of stabbing his boss repeatedly were revealed when he appeared in court on Tuesday.





Oriah Molapo, 46, is charged with attempted murder, fraud and malicious damage to property after he allegedly attacked Paul Mosaka Primary School principal Nothemba Lebepe last year.





He apparently blamed her for his losing his job.





Molapo made his fourth appearance in front of magistrate Maggie van der Merwe in the Lenasia Magistrate’s Court since his arrest in November last year.





The appearance, which was meant to be his bail application, was adjourned after Molapo’s lawyer Peter Shelane requested that his qualifications, which form part of the fraud charge, be presented as evidence to the court.





Before testifying, Van der Merwe warned Molapo that everything he said in the bail application could be used against him as evidence, so he should be as honest as possible.





Molapo said prison would have a negative impact on the lives of his wife and two children, aged six and 12.

He also testified that he was a South African citizen and not a Lesotho national as claimed earlier.





Molapo said he had matriculated and obtained a teaching diploma from a college in Daveyton.





He had completed his degree at the University of Johannesburg.





However, Molapo could not seem to remember when he matriculated or finished his subsequent qualifications, much to the bemusement of the packed gallery.





He smiled often, looked visibly relaxed but tapped his feet throughout his testimony, which he chose to give in Sesotho.





Molapo interacted with people in the gallery as he was brought up from the holding cells.





When Shelane quizzed him on what the impact of his release would be on the community and their impression of the justice system as a whole, Molapo said he did not believe it would cause problems, again much to the bemusement of the gallery.





Van der Merwe then decided to grant the defence’s remand application, with State prosecutor Tumelo Maunye also raising no objections to the application.





Molapo is expected to return to court on Tuesday for the bail application to be completed.
