Will mayor Danny get Bay metro to play ball?

ANC secretary-general Gwede Mantashe admitted this yesterday, just minutes after announcing Jordaan would take over the municipality’s top job.

Uitenhage businessman Bicks Ndoni and ANC MP Litho Suka were appointed deputy mayor and chief whip respectively.
