The 2023 eThekwini state of the city address elicited mixed reaction from opposition parties in the council on Wednesday.
eThekwini mayor Mxolisi Kaunda said four sectors — finance, trade, manufacturing and transport — were earmarked to keep the city afloat by providing 80% of the city’s expected GDP growth and creating numerous jobs.
The EFF and the National Freedom Party welcomed Kaunda’s address while the DA, ActionSA and IFP were not impressed.The NFP’s Zandile Myeni, who is deputy mayor, said the mayor tackled what the public expected to be addressed and took responsibility for shortcomings.“People wanted to hear progress as to what is happening in terms of crime.
Themba Mvubu, EFF caucus leader in the council and chairperson of the human settlements and infrastructure committee, said it was too soon to express any meaningful reaction, but welcomed the mayor’s allocation for the committee he chairs.“I’m happy with the allocation which went to it, particularly to deal with water and sanitation. We were the ones who complained about the sewer spills and water leaks in the city so those are the positives.
