In 2019, Cogta announced its intervention in the local municipality which was under ‘financial distress’ and facing ‘governance and organisational challenges’.
Mtubatuba councillors have been invited to Thursday’s council meeting scheduled for 10am, where a new administrator could possibly be introduced following the resignation of the current one.
Mtubatuba Municipality is no stranger to challenges, having been under provincial government administration for a number of years previously, before eventually being dissolved.
