Steenhuisen said residents in the elite Hilton suburb had tried to get the municipality to remove them from Msunduzi’s dysfunctional electricity grid as they are forced to endure rolling blackouts.He bemoaned the state of the town’s“It is full of litter and drunkenness. Howick should be a star performer, given drawcards such as the falls and Midmar and Karkloof canopy tours. We have to stop this downward spiral.The DA has over the years experienced a steady growth in the Midlands town.
In the 2016 elections it gained a single proportional seat in uMngeni, where the ANC holds an outright majority. It has also made inroads by opening branches in Mpophomeni township, widely considered an ANC stronghold.He said the campaign trial had uncovered the widespread corruption plaguing the province.
