DA call for clean-up of Point Road

THE DA held a placard demonstration at Mahatma Gandhi/Point Road on Wednesday night as part of its Clean Up Point Campaign.

Members of the women’s network, lead by led by Shehana Gaibie together with DA Central Durban Chairperson Councillor Nicole Graham and Mbali Ntuli MPL, decided to hold the demonstration, as they said they feared for the safety of women and children especially in the Durban CDB as an alarming number of alleged drug lords have moved into the Mahatma Gandhi Road area.

The campaign is to stand up against the exploitation of women and children, human-trafficking and drug abuse, which the DA feels needs to come to an end in the area.
DA councillors have been working in the area for a while to tackle issues.

“Mahatma Gandhi Road has been left as an eye-sore and haven for illicit activity for far too long. We need our city cleaned up now! We cannot allow residents to live in squalor, and continue to overlook the daily occurrence of exploitation of women and children in the area. The plight of those who are most vulnerable in our communities cannot be ignored. The DA is committed under its vision of One Nation One Future for a country that is free of crime and exploitation of women and children,” asid Gaibie.

Members of the DA stood on Mahatma Gandhi Road on Wednesday, urging for a clean-up of the road and a petition was handed to the City Manager.
