For three months he had to operate under a cloud of humiliation and even threats from political parties but for the first time since he was accused of fraud, the Chief Operations Officer (COO) of the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality can breathe a sigh of relief.

Christopher Dyani, who is also the City's previous acting city manager, was recently acquitted of all wrongdoing by the Hawks following an intensive investigation.

"I feel vindicated by the Hawks and National Prosecuting Authority. I have always maintained that I did nothing wrong. The opening of the case and this continuous persecution in the media and on public platforms have been nothing but a political strategy to get rid of me," Dyani said.
