The MEC for Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs, Rev Thulasizwe Buthelezi, has today written to the Mayor of eThekwini Metro, Cllr Cyril Xaba, expressing concerns over reports received by the department. These reports, some from whistleblowers, allege fraud, corruption, maladministration, and statutory non-compliance within the eThekwini Metro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The MEC views eThekwini Metro as the province\u2019s crown jewel and is particularly troubled by these allegations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The MEC has forwarded these 9 detailed allegations together with the explosive annexures to the Mayor, in the hope that the Mayor will respond to the MEC within the time frame requested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In accordance with Section 106 of the Local Government: Municipal Systems Act 32 of 2000, as amended, the MEC is obligated to act on these matters.
