Opposition parties in the Nelson Mandela Bay council found themselves in a tight spot yesterday as they failed to reverse the appointment of Ironman Championship boss Rebecca Nyangaresi-Gatang’I.
It is unclear how much the appointment will cost the taxpayer. Her contract is expected to expire in December next year – three months after the event has taken place.
