The African National Congress in the Eastern Cape, in consultation with the national leadership, has removed Nelson Mandela Bay mayor Nondumiso Maphazi from her post.

Zanoxolo Wayile is the Mayor-elect, with Nancy Sihlwayi as deputy.

The ANC says the decision follows a thorough evaluation of the political situation in the region, that has resulted in tensions and confusion.

The party confirms that it regards the Nelson Mandela Metro as the strategic hub of the province’s commercial and industrial zone.
