DURBAN - Zululand District Municipality mayor Thulasizwe Buthelezi said the investigation by Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs into allegations that he spent R5 million on a business breakfast was just a political stunt aimed at undermining the work of the IFP-led municipality.on Thursday after presenting the paper with proof of the cost of the business breakfast at a hotel his municipality held last week.
The municipality hosted a business breakfast at the Elangeni Hotel in Durban and during the event a group protested outside the hotel. They were shouting the mayor’s name, asking him to come down and speak to them. They held placards reading, “We have no water in Nongoma: we have eggs and bacon in Zululand”.
Leading the protest was ANC youth leader in Zululand, Lindokuhle Xulu who claimed the money spent on the event was estimated to be R5m and that the event had been advertised before the council could approve it. Xulu also alleged that 100 rooms were booked for IFP NEC members under the guise they were for the media; however, the mayor denied this, asking for proof.
