He served in that capacity till 2020 when he was elected first city mayor. A political colossus Motanga bestrode the political terrain in Limbe and Fako. He was section president from 2002 until his death. He was impregnable politically and a progressive municipal magistrate. He made the CPDM turn Limbe from an opposition hotbed to a CPDM stronghold. His legacies as government delegate are immense. Limbe FESTAC the reference arts n culture festival was his imprint. He transformed Limbe infrastructurally and socially. Under him Limbe upgraded its status of cleanest city in the country. How he succeeded in keeping Limbe a safe haven from the ongoing unrest that has ravaged the North West and South West is anyone's guess. A humbe and social mixer Motanga was a delight to encounter and interact. He was an exceptional politician. He will be sorely missed
