About a week later a new mayor was expected to be elected at a council meeting but that didn't happen. 

At the time we were told by city officials that there were still some works to be done before a new feat citizen could be handed the mayoral chain.

The ANC in KZN also confirmed that after Mxolisi's redeployment, three candidates had been short-listed. 

The city has been without a mayor for almost four weeks, a situation which some opposition parties have described as disappointing.

The city says a new mayor will be appointed at a full council meeting on Wednesday.
