Cooperative Government and Traditional Affairs MEC Nomusa Dube-Ncube engaging with Speakers of Municipalities in KZN on issues that cause political instability, protests, failure by municipalities to take decisions on time, which has a negative impact on audit outcomes and this was during a Speakers Forum at the DLI Hall in Durban on the 20.07.17<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n

KZN MEC for Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (Cogta) Nomusa Dube-Ncube has expressed her sadness and shock at the passing of Councillor Mfundo Mthenjane who served as the Speaker of the uMhlathuze local municipality in Richards Bay, Northern KwaZulu-Natal.<\/p>\n

Mthenjane a well-known community activist with a prolific record in the struggle and community development passed away yesterday after a short illness.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday as the local government fraternity in KwaZulu-Natal, we mourn the loss of a champion of community development, whose work and contribution has given hope and reality of freedom to many communities in uMhlathuze.\u00a0 We are saddened by the loss of Speaker Mthenjane who passed away after a short illness. His tragic passing is a blow to the City of uMhlathuze whose rapid development he had pioneered throughout his career in the public service. History will indeed remember councillor Mthenjane as a gifted leader, a patriot and a true servant of the people especially in the Esikhaleni area where he honed his leadership acumen,\u201d said Dube-Ncube.<\/p>\n

KZN Cogta has also been highly appreciative of the way Speaker Mthenjane had conducted the business of the uMhlathuze council with decorum and \u00a0decisions were always taken after proper consultation and meaningful discussion with all relevant stakeholders,” said Dube-Ncube.<\/p>\n

The department is in contact with the bereaved family regarding the funeral arrangements and, once confirmed, these will be communicated to the public.<\/p>\n

May his soul rest in peace!<\/p>\n
