Ndabenhle Mzoneli, who was elected as the Youth League chairperson in the ANC’s General Gizenga Mpanza Region in Ballito on March 14 and 15, said the body was behind Radebe.
He described two ANC-led municipalities in the region, Ilembe District Municipality and KwaDukuza Municipality, as among those that needed Radebe’s attention as he said they were failing when it comes to service delivery.
Radebe, the ANC veteran who was recently appointed to lead the party’s 67-member Provincial Task Team (PTT) after the reconfiguration of the provincial leadership, promised that drastic action would be taken against ANC leaders of the municipalities in the province, including Msunduzi, uThukela, and eThekwini, which are among those who failed to spend over R7.5 billion allocated for service delivery in the 2023/2024 financial year. Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs MEC Thulasizwe Buthelezi recently announced a forensic investigation into the Msunduzi, KwaDukuza, and Nongoma municipalities following the Auditor-General’s 2023/24 report revealing financial mismanagement in these municipalities.
It was reported that only seven municipalities in the province achieved clean audits.
Mzoneli said the league was mostly concerned about the performances of the Ilembe and KwaDukuza municipalities, which incorporates Ballito.
“When people are not doing well, remove them as they are not spending money to assist the poor and working class.
“In KwaDukuza, there is scandal after scandal of the theft of money, while there are no proper roads and people who voted for the ANC are suffering,” said Mzoneli.
The disbanded ANC provincial leadership had appointed Muzi Ngidi as the new mayor of KwaDukuza last year after firing Lindi Nhaca.
However, Mzoneli said under Ngidi, the under-performance of the municipality had worsened.
