KZN provincial government invokes section 154 in eThekwini metropolitan municipality

Durban — The two senior government veterans tasked with turning around the fortunes of the ailing eThekwini Municipality will begin their work on Monday.

Durban’s former city manager, Dr Mike Sutcliffe and Dr Cassius Lubisi, the former director-general in the Presidency, were appointed to lead a Section 154 intervention by the Department of Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs (Cogta). They now have the constitutional mandate to “support and strengthen” the metro in the running of its affairs.
