EDITOR – The call by eThekwini Mayor, Zandele Gumede, to have a central military base in Durban refers.
One wonders what information the mayor has at her disposal that we the citizens don’t know about. Over the past few years we have seen a dramatic increase in the provision of security for politicians of the ruling party.
There have been a number of invasions of City Hall and the former speaker tried to close a public meeting of the council because of threats from a different faction within the ANC itself.
It is an open secret that there are two factions within the ANC in KZN and that neither has a reasonable majority. Depending on which publication you read, there have been about 20 politically motivated deaths in the past 12 months. None of these deaths have involved any other political party.
Maybe it is time for the mayor to come clean and let us in on what she knows. After all, it is our City.
