Crime making it ‘increasingly difficult’ to deliver services – eThekwini
eThekwini says
it’s becoming increasingly difficult for municipal teams to deliver services to
communities due to a spike in crime.
The municipality’s Lindiwe Khuzwayo says service delivery is being hampered by hijackings.
She says eThekwini staff members have been targeted in various parts of the city.
"In the current financial year alone no less than 95 vehicles have been hijacked from municipal staff and contractors."

Not only does this delay the delivery of critical services to communities it also subjects the employees to severe physical and psychological trauma.
"We call on communities and police in municipalities to ensure municipal workers are safe as they deliver services to communities."
