DA’s Retief Odendaal to outline rescue plan for Nelson Mandela Bay on Monday

By Johnathan Paoli

The Democratic Alliance (DA) is expected to unveil its plan to revive Nelson Mandela Bay (NMB) when its mayoral candidate, Retief Odendaal, takes the stage at a campaign rally in Algoa Park.

The event is expected to set the tone for the DA’s election drive in the metro, with Odendaal outlining a comprehensive vision to “get NMB working again”.

“If we want to fix this country and get it working again, we all have to roll up our sleeves, whether you’re in politics or civil society and get stuck in,” Odendaal said.

The rally, scheduled for Monday morning at the Pieter Rademeyer Hall in Algoa Park, Gqeberha, will be a high-profile occasion.

Odendaal will be joined by senior party leadership, including DA Federal Leader John Steenhuisen, DA Eastern Cape Provincial Leader Andrew Whitfield, DA Provincial Chairperson Yusuf Cassim, and DA EC Provincial Spokesperson Georgina Faldtman.
