Durban - KwaZulu-Natal Premier Sihle Zikalala spoke publicly on Wednesday for the first time about the axing of eThekwini mayor Zandile Gumede, saying there was no crisis.
Zikalala, addressing the provincial Climate Change and Sustainable Development summit in Durban said the provincial government was keeping an eye on Durban and Msunduzi where mayor Themba Njilo was also axed on Monday. Zikalala spoke on the issue as ANC Women's League President Bathabile Dlamini took a swipe at the ANC KwaZulu-Natal leadership over its decision to fire Gumede.
“We are very unhappy about this culture that has been going on, a culture of making it easy to remove women from the positions they occupy,” Dlamini said.“The ANC in the province took the view that we needed to reconstitute the executive councils and took the decision to withdraw people.Zikalala said the decision that was taken was not about individuals but about the executive councils of municipalities.
“There will be no lack of services and we call on civil society to support the process. Municipalities have a much bigger role to play on climate change.”
