With regards to the latest reported moves to destabilise the governance of the municipality, the church leadership of Nelson Mandela Bay calls on the elected representatives in the metro to be led by doing what is right for the residents who voted for them rather than what is expedient or in their self interest.
It is morally reprehensible that the people in whom the residents of the metro have entrusted their livelihoods and future behave in such an unprincipled matter.
The result is that jobs are being lost and residents are getting poorer and more desperate.
Electricity, water and sewage infrastructure is crumbling. Roads are potholed.
The number of homeless grows daily.
Crime is rampant.
These are evils which should be the priority of supposed representatives of the people.
But, we are not helpless.
Collectively, our churches represent the majority of the suffering citizens of Nelson Mandela Bay.
Their voice cannot be ignored any longer.
We call on our pastors to engage with their ward councillors from all parties, many of whom can be found on church pews on Sundays.
When it comes to voting, the councillors must focus on service delivery and stable government and not in the narrow interests of their party or themselves.
The people of the metro must come first.
Failing that, we will once again petition provincial and national government to dissolve the current council and call new elections.
