eThekwini Mayor, Mxolisi Kaunda who attended the meeting said Ramaphosa says there's an urgent need for a plan to deal with current challenges.
"Unless we work smarter, all our best-laid plans to accelerate service delivery, grow our economy and create employment on a large scale will amount to naught. Many of the challenges we face are our own making and the inevitable outcome of poor planning," he said.
