DA urges new eThekwini mayor to renew the fight against corruption
"We want to see that investigative reports in the municipality are actually being tracked and acted on. Currently there are about 600 reports that are lying around and no one has done anything about them," said the DA's caucus leader, Nicole Graham.

"Water and sanitation is a huge problem at the moment, electricity is an ongoing issue, as well as DSW, which have all left the City in a very bad condition."
