Durban - After more than two months of political wrangling, suspensions, forced resignations and protests, Mxolisi Kaunda was finally sworn in as mayor of eThekwini Municipality on Thursday.
The swearing-in on Thursday took place after the national ANC told former mayor Zandile Gumede that the decision by the province to remove her from her position would hold. Gumede along with the entire executive committee of eThekwini Municipality were forced to resign by the provincial ANC.
“The task is to rebuild the integrity of the city, get all the sections, proper administrative sections, to work properly; get the collection system up and running, make sure that the waste management is handled properly, water provision is handled properly and deal with the issues outstanding with regard to Eskom,” she said.
