MEC Thulasizwe Buthelezi addressed residents and some municipal workers on Monday.
DURBAN - The KwaZulu-Natal Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Department says it will take action against the Umdoni Local Municipality, following a rise in service delivery concerns from residents.This comes after a three-weeklong blockade at the municipality offices by the protesters demanding improved service delivery.He said the municipality had failed to abide by the oath of office to deliver services to the communities they serve.
He added that the municipal workers also failed to communicate with communities about some of the issues facing the town. "The rubbish has not been collected, the town hall has been invaded by vagrancy and there is general decline over a period of time-of-service delivery."
