In a surprise move, the African National Congress (ANC) in KwaZulu-Natal has recalled eThekwini Mayor Mxolisi Kaunda, effective Friday. Kaunda will be redeployed to the National Council of Provinces (NCOP), marking a significant shift in the province’s political landscape.
Kaunda’s tenure as mayor has been plagued by controversy, including service delivery failures and allegations of corruption. His removal comes as no surprise to many, as the DA and IFP have long called for his resignation.
Despite the ANC’s gratitude for Kaunda’s dedication, his legacy is tarnished by the city’s deteriorating infrastructure and failed service delivery. The recall raises questions about the ANC’s commitment to accountability and good governance.
As the city prepares for a new leader, residents hope for a fresh start and improved services. The ANC’s decision may signal a renewed focus on delivering to the people.
