KwaDukuza held hostage by warring ANC factions - DA | IOL News

Johannesburg - The Democratic Alliance in KwaZulu-Natal on Tuesday said it will not allow service delivery to the residents of KwaDukuza to be held to ransom by African National Congress factionalism.DA spokesperson Dean Macpherson said the party is appalled at the current power battle playing itself out in the KwaDukuza Municipality which has resulted in the municipality "shutting down" due to executive committee and full council meetings being called off for the month of June.

"Because of these factions within the ANC, the Executive Committee has not sat, and worse, an important meeting to discuss Capital projects in the electrical department has been cancelled after the municipality returned R18 million to National Treasury in the previous financial year for its failure to spend this money to resolve outstanding electrical connections to poor communities as well as fix the 600 broken street lights.

Macpherson said it is a sad state of affairs that the municipality has come to a standstill due to internal factions of the ANC. The Auditor General recently expressed his opinion that political interference at the local government level is why so many municipalities have adverse findings in their audit outcomes and KwaDukuza is proving him to be entirely correct.
