Martin Meyer has received threats since he took over as KwaZulu-Natal's Public Works and Infrastructure MEC following the general elections, with the latest one being a bullet casting next to his car.
DURBAN - KwaZulu-Natal's Public Works and Infrastructure MEC, Martin Meyer, said police should not treat the death threats against him as an isolated case, saying crime affects everyone.Since then, he's been adamant that his department will not work with the so-called construction mafia, a group of armed men known for disrupting government projects and demanding financial gains.
"There has been some talk of threats in my life, but you know a teacher was brutally killed doing her job. In KwaZulu-Natal, going to work is a dangerous thing."
