New eThekwini mayor Mxolisi Kaunda has promised residents that within his first 100 days in the office they would start seeing cleanliness in the city.

Durban - THE new eThekwini mayor, Mxolisi Kaunda, promised residents that within his first 100 days in the office they would start seeing cleanliness in the city. Kaunda, who celebrated his 47th birthday yesterday, took over the mayor’s office on September 4, replacing Zandile Gumede who the ANC had recalled after it found that she performed poorly in service delivery duties.

“I decided to use the public toilets, and I discovered the smell and stains on the toilet seats do not represent the image of the city as we are an international city,” he said. Kaunda said he discovered that certain people had turned the beachfront toilets into illegal bathrooms. The mayor said the municipality also identified 80 dilapidated and illegally occupied buildings in the inner city for refurbishment.

“We put in plans to avoid such actions by intensifying education. People should be educated that we don’t just dump anything anywhere,” he said.
