Steenhuisen was speaking after he cast his vote at his alma mater, Northwood Boys High School in Durban north, where he urged South Africans to go out and cast their votes in the local government polls. The former DA caucus leader of eThekwini municipality said it had been misruled in the last 20 years, including by former ANC mayor Zandile Gumede who was allegedly involved in a number of “shenanigans”.
“It saddens me that eThekwini has lost its shine. We have the best weather and people in eThekwini and the best ingredients for a great city,” said Steenhuisen.He said the party would not concern itself with coalition talks at this stage.
