CATA chairperson shot at Nyanga taxi rank as fragile Cape Town taxi truce faces new test
CATA's chairperson was shot at Nyanga taxi rank just three days after rival taxi associations agreed to a seven-day truce to end Cape Town's deadly taxi violence.
The African National Congress (ANC) is experiencing a decline in electoral support in certain areas of the Eastern Cape's Sarah Baartman District. The party has lost its outright majority in four municipalities within the district. Makana Municipality, based in Makhanda, is one of these municipalities where the ANC has seen a decline in support. In Makana, the ANC's representation on the council has dropped from 13 seats to 10.
Despite the decreasing electoral support, the Regional Chair for Sarah Baartman, Mabhuti Matyumza, maintains that the ANC still has the confidence and backing of its constituents. Matyumza expressed satisfaction with the party's performance in some municipalities, despite the challenges faced. He emphasized that the ANC is contesting elections alongside other political parties and reaffirmed the trust the people of Sarah Baartman have in the ANC as a dependable force for the future.
