Eastern Cape political commentary gets real teeth

A top notch political commentator will join the Bhisho blog for the Legislature session in Graaff Reinet as an armchair critic.

Luke Cull is an expert in retrieving information and will be on tap to watch the activities in the Legislature that will among other things today witness the signing in of former Eastern Cape Development Corporation CEO Mcebisi Jonas.

Ironically, as Luke points out saliently, Jonas will make his appearance in the Legislature on the day in which the ECDC annual report is tabled along with all the other departmental and parastatal reports.

Meanwhile the Eastern Cape Tourism Board that has been in a parlous state since former Premier Nosimo Balindlela let Andre de Wet loose on a wild purge has a new CEO in Zola Tshefu.

Tshefu, who piloted the development of the Kouga Development Agency, previously was the ECDC’s representative in Port Elizabeth when Jonas was CEO.
