Umkhandlu waseMngeni unikele ngezimpahla zokufaka uphawu ezilwaneni kubalimi bemfuyo namhlanje eHowick. Labalimi baqhamuka ezindaweni ezehlukene ngaphansi kwamasipala. Lezimpahla zizosiza ekulweni nokwebiwa kwemfuyo. #NgokubambisanaSiqhubekelaPhambili

Thank you for your service, John. You took the DA forward at a difficult moment, stepping in after the previous leader abandoned the role. Under your leadership, the party was stabilised and strengthened, becoming part of national government. You have accomplished your mission.

During the 2024 elections false claims were made that I misused municipal funds and channelled money to a partner After a full year-long investigation the Public Protector has cleared me of all wrongdoing. All allegations were unsubstantiated, with no evidence of abuse of power.

A moment of reflection… Sandile Mnikathi, our Deputy Mayor, is a young leader who delivers: academically accomplished, committed, and grounded in service. Grateful to work alongside such a capable and inspiring colleague.

I can understand Minister from the DA, IFP, PA, VF, etc saying they are new. 100%. But then the ANC Ministers in failing departments saying they are new???? Your comrades, endorsed by your party, having been in charge for 30 years! You can’t use the “we’ve just taken over” line.

The upgrading of Alex Mntambo, Inkulisa and Jakalasi roads from gravel to blacktop in Ward 4 is progressing well. The contractor was busy with road treatment due to wet weather conditions, completing levels and box cutting. #MakingProgressTogether

🌟 *uMngeni Municipality is punching above its weight!* 🌟 Recent stats show that when it comes to building plans per person, uMngeni is one of the top performers in KwaZulu-Natal. 🏗️ Despite being much smaller uMngeni has one of the highest levels of investment per resident

Every time you hire a South African you grow our community. Every time you buy from a small local business you grow our economy. The power to build uMngeni is in your hands. - buying or selling counterfeit goods is illegal - hiring undocumented/illegal workers is a crime

Very excited to introduce Ungulungu 1 and 2 (meerkat). These two new motorcycles are the newest additions to our traffic and law enforcement team. They will be used to build safer rural and urban communities. A first for uMngeni!

Privileged to be on the Tutu Fellowship with the African Leadership Institute. This week at Oxford’s Saïd Business School we’re focused on experiential learning. As the only politician here, it’s a rare chance for self-growth: so we can better serve our communities. *self funded
