Durban - eThekwini municipality councillors on Thursday unanimously agreed to stop outsourcing waste collection contracts in the city’s largest former township of Umlazi.
Four of the main companies that landed the contracts - Omphile Thabang Projects, Ilanga LaMahlase Projects Pty Ltd, Uzuzinekele Trading 31 cc and El Shaddai Holdings Group cc - and then sub-contracted the work to others, were also linked to the ongoing criminal investigations into city mayor Zandile Gumede.
“[I]t has been acknowledged that the engagement of external contractors at Umlazi has caused negative unintended consequences and has impacted negatively on the city’s image,” said the report tabled at council.
