A walk through Korsten shows a Metro in decline where by-laws are ignored and enforcement has collapsed. NMB needs a caring DA government that will uphold the rule of law, restore services, create jobs, make our streets safe again & #getNMBworkingagain #Retief4Mayor

Ek was in Lapland, waar inwoners al lank sukkel met waterprobleme. 💦 My boodskap is eenvoudig: As jy water in jou pype wil hê, stem vir iemand met murg in sy pype om die gemors uit te sort. #getNMBworkingagain #Retief4Mayor

Silly season is here, and so are the bots claiming we only show up at election time 😂 This photo says otherwise. This was during my tenure as mayor, where we rolled up our sleeves & got the job done. Let’s rebuild our city with a stable DA government. #getNMBworkingagain

I recently shared my vision for NMB. Bad governments can be replaced, and a stable DA government can fix years of neglect Imagine a city that works for you, where services are delivered & leaders serve with integrity. We can #getNMBworkingagain #Retief4Mayor

YHO NMB!!! Mayor of Nelson Mandela Bay Babalwa Lobishe was grilled in Parliament… and it showed! 😅 The Mayor can’t even find her own Chief of Staff or PA, so how exactly is she going to find our missing electricity? ⚡🤔 It’s not just the lights that are going off in NMB… 😅

Visited the Nelson Mandela Peace Park. What should be a proud symbol of our democracy has been left to fall into disrepair, a reflection of neglect and a failing government. A DA led municipality will protect infrastructure, and work with residents to #getNMBworkingagain

The DA was on the ground in Kensington (Ward 7), working to help clean and restore our communities. This is work that belongs to the municipality, but our public representatives remain committed to stepping in and making a difference where it’s needed most. #getNMBworkingagain

The community of Lapland, left without water for over 2 months, now has access thanks to the DA and support from Eco Tanks. The DA won’t stand by while our communities are neglected by this uncaring government. Together we can #getNMBworkingagain

The stage is set at the Chatty Community Hall 🤩 where I’ll be announcing my 5 Pledges to #getNMBworkingagain Catch the live stream on the Democratic Alliance Eastern Cape Facebook page from 10:00 Where will you be watching from? #Retief4Mayor

NMB believes in a strong DA to #getNMBworkingagain 💙 Thank you, Chatty, for the overwhelming support today as I shared my 5 pledges for our city. #Retief4Mayor

NMB, you were incredible today! 🔥 The atmosphere was electric; Asinalo uvalo (we have no fear). With your support, we will restore our city and get it working again. 💙 #getNMBworkingagain #Retief4Mayor

This morning, ahead of Day 2 of the #DAcongress2026, I joined eNCA news for an interview to discuss the future of NMB. The reality is simple: to #getNMBworkingagain we need a stable DA-led government. The DA is the only party with a proven track record of good governance

It’s been absolutely electric at #DAcongress2026 ⚡🔥The energy, the unity, the purpose. The DA stands alone as the party with a proven track record of good governance. If we want municipalities that actually work for the people, there’s only one clear choice. 💙

Spent our Saturday in Newton Park cleaning &Mowbray Park so it can once again be a safe, welcoming space for our community. With the current administration MIA, we’re stepping up to #getNMBworkingagain Imagine a DA-led city where this is the norm. Unite behind the DA. 💙

🚨 URGENT: BOIL WATER NOTICE | DESPATCH DA reps visited a Despatch reservoir after reports of possible E. coli contamination. Residents are urged to boil municipal water before use until further notice.

🚨 URGENT: BOIL WATER NOTICE | DESPATCH This morning, the DA’s Spokesperson for Infrastructure & Engineering, Cllr Dries van der Westhuyzen, together with Cllr Mthokozisi Nkosi, spokesperson for Public Health, and Ward 52 Councillor Frans Swanepoel, visited a water reservoir in

Something powerful is happening across NMB 🤩Voters are uniting behind the DA A former EFF supporter said it clearly: the DA is the future. The Resident was "recruited" by Ramaphosa's admission that DA-run municipalities are SA’s best. 2026 is the year to #getNMBworkingagain

Water leaks in NMB are left for months. This one has been gushing for 4 months. We’ve seen better: a DA-led government fixed 15,000+ leaks in 8 months. 2026 is a choice: more of the same, or a fresh start. #getNMBworkingagin #Retief4Mayor

A Message to President Cyril Ramaphosa Mr President, you are out of touch with the lived reality of Nelson Mandela Bay if you believe that Mayor Babalwa Lobishe is “doing very well” and “stabilising the metro.”

Ramaphosa says NMB is stabilising under Babalwa Lobishe. That’s an insult to residents. Across the metro, people live in fear while crime spirals and streets are left in darkness. Mr President, come walk these streets without VIP protection & let's see how stable it is.
