A sheriff has been ordered to seize the assets of Nelson Mandela Bay Mayor Babalwa Lobishe to recover R82,970.88 in unpaid legal costs. The writ of execution was obtained by People’s Power leader Siyanda Mayana following a failed legal attempt by the mayor to prevent him from publishing claims she alleged were defamatory.
The debt stems from the mayor’s unsuccessful court application against Mayana. The seizure order highlights ongoing governance challenges within the municipality regarding legal accountability and the enforcement of court-ordered costs.
