Buthelezi told Newswatch he wants to hit the ground running.
"We need to make sure that we come up with policies that will attract investors to come and invest in our district. We won't only focus on the creation of jobs but also trying to make sure that our community tries by all means to circulate the economy of our district at least twice or three times within the district itself," he said.
