eThekwini mayor apologises for 'grave administrative errors' in Glebelands Hostel saga | kaveels
"I am taking full responsibility for these grave administrative errors. I am making a firm commitment [that] this will never happen again. From now on, we will communicate whatever we do on the ground," she said before a high-level meeting with Deputy Public Protector, advocate Kevin Malunga, and the SA Human Rights Commission.
The meeting centred around a June 2017 Public Protector report that called for intervention to hold several organs of state to account for their roles in residents' plight. Malunga said these failures related to water and sanitation, payment models, access to the hostel and a host of other issues that should have been attended to.
"However, sanity prevailed, and we had a frank discussion about this matter. The mayor has not been defensive about the issue and agreed that a road map going forward must be settled on the council agenda."
