A little bit more eventful than anticipated.

That’s one way to describe public works and infrastructure minister Patricia de Lille’s visit to Nelson Mandela Bay this week. 

De Lille, in Gqeberha for an oversight visit to the N2 nodal development project, which includes the Baywest Mall, was caught up in protests by small business owners who have taken issue with the slow progress in incorporating them into various construction projects around the metro.

“I could sense the anger and frustration of the crowd that came there,” De Lille tells us in That Weekend Feeling with Daron Mann this week.
