KZN Cooperative Governance MEC Thulasizwe Buthelezi announced on Monday that Ugu District municipal manager Dhanpalan Devaraj Naidoo would be the local governance expert who'll guide uMdoni.
"We are confident that, with the leadership of the mayor and the support of all councillors, we will turn the situation around and that the issues of service delivery, particularly the lack of water supply, will be addressed.
"We have given Mr Naidoo 30 days to come up with a 30-day plan to ensure that service delivery is restored."
