Opposition parties say Zandile Myeni's appointment as eThekwini deputy mayor is 'pointless'

Imtiaz Syed of the Active Citizens Coalition questioned whether Myeni would have the support to oppose the ANC in the executive committee.

“What has the NFP done to be given that seat? They only have one seat in this council, so how many people does she have behind her to support her? So, what we see is not what is happening. We have to speak to the things in reality. Is it a power hungry person? Absolutely. That’s how we see her, because she doesn’t have the essence of what the community needs.”

“What influence is she going to have with one seat? That is a drop in the ocean, they can ignore her as long as they have the EFF on their side. Whether she agrees with them or not is immaterial. So she becomes a puppet deputy mayor because they won't listen to her because she doesn't have support,” he said.
