The letter stated that the protest action was aimed at stopping the spending of the community's money, the alleged reckless usage of municipality resources and alleged nepotism within the entity.Zikalala also condemned the torching of eight trucks on the N3 near Mooi River on Thursday.
"The burning of trucks on the N3 disrupts the movement of goods between Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal and this has an adverse impact on the economy and jobs. Although we have not been able to measure the impact of the road closures on the provincial economy, it must be noted that the disruption on the N3 causes logistical challenges for KwaZulu-Natal and the entire country,” he said.
The MEC said that his office - together with the MEC for transport, community safety, and liaison - had engaged various stakeholders including Ilembe Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Tourism to find solutions to the situation in Isithebe.
