New KZN Premier Sihle Zikalala vows to fight graft in provincial govt
He was delivering his acceptance speech immediately after being elected in a sitting presided over by KZN Judge President Achmat Japie at the KZN legislature on Wednesday
"In the coming five years, we shall continue to work together to improve service delivery, fighting poverty, unemployment, crime and corruption," Zikalala said. He added that he regarded his election at the helm of provincial government as a responsibility, and not a position, conceding that there were massive challenges before the new leaders, including fighting poverty and inequality.
