We’re building a city Madiba would be proud of‚ says Jordaan

Since taking over the reins three months ago‚ the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality was financially stronger‚ clamping down on corruption and closer to its people‚ mayor Danny Jordaan said on Wednesday.

He said his leadership team was building the kind of city that late statesman Nelson Mandela would be proud of.

Before presenting a progress report of his first 100 days in office‚ however‚ Jordaan hit back at his critics.

He told journalists‚ politicians‚ municipal officials‚ business and community leaders gathered at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium: “I drove in the streets and saw a poster which said ‘Danny fails’.

“How can I fail if I didn’t write the exam?”
