Hundreds of KZN councillors assassinated since 2021

DURBAN - Assassinations continue to be a leading cause of death for ward councillors in KwaZulu-Natal according the South African Local Government Association in the province.

Salga says a number of municipalities still struggle with administration and governance issues despite interventions to assist them.

The association's provincial Chairperson, Thami Ntuli, says consequence management must be strengthened to hold managers, leaders, and municipal employees accountable.

Salga held a media briefing in Durban to wrap up what it describes as a challenging year for municipalities in the province.
