Zululand District Municipality Mayor, Thulasizwe Buthelezi, stuck to his guns and said the breakfast held in Durban on Friday last week yielded the intended results of wooing investors to invest in the district.
Durban – The Zululand District Municipality in northern KwaZulu-Natal has broken its silence over the now controversial breakfast which critics claimed cost R5 million, saying the punted price tag is completely incorrect and was thumb-sucked.
The breakfast set tongues wagging and caused protests, with the ANC in the Mzala Nxumalo region alleging the gathering was aimed at abusing municipal resources to advance the political agenda of the Inkatha Freedom Party where the district was failing to provide basic services like water. Things got tense outside the host venue of the breakfast when some residents from the district drove to Durban to stage a heated picket.The breakfast was hosted at the Elangeni Hotel which is located along the Durban beachfront.
