eThekwini mayor Zandile Gumede was scolded on Thursday by the offices of the public protector and the South African Human Rights Commission for service delivery failures at uMlazi’s notorious Glebelands Hostel.
At a press briefing following the meeting, Malunga told journalists that the city was only one of the entities implicated in the report and that the intention of the meeting was not to embarrass the mayor and her team, rather, it was an opportunity to work together. Included in the remedial action flagged by the public protector as not being implemented was the failure to have all 57 CCTV cameras at the complex working. Also highlighted was poor access control, poor lighting and other security measures.
Eight men, all current or former Glebelands residents, are presently standing trial for allegedly being part of a syndicate that committed murder for money – political and otherwise – and extorted residents for years. The leader of the syndicate is a now former SAPS detective who lived at Glebelands.
Senior councillor Mondli Mthembu would be appointed to monitor programmes at the complex and report to the mayor’s office on a monthly basis.

Paying off the mortgage versus investing moreLet's do a little investment simulation. Don't worry - I'll do the maths. Nomusa has a R5,000 personal loan and a R20,000 share portfolio. Her net worth is R15,000 (R20,000 share portfolio minus the personal loan). If the stock market goes up by 10%, Nomusa makes R2,000 (R20,000 multiply by 10%) and her net worth goes up to R17,000 (R22,000 in the portfolio, minus the R5,000 loan).
