Councillor Sunitha Maharaj of the Minority Front welcomed the progress report on the city’s response to the flood disaster tabled at full council on Wednesday, 18 May 2022 and stated while the sterling efforts of the municipal employees and the private sector does not go unnoticed , there is a conspicuous absence of a report on the activities of the city’s land invasion unit which did a good job in Durban North recently, the richer part of Durban, but showed no humanity to the people in Chatsworth when they demolished illegal extensions of their homes, compounding the city’s housing problem in the wake of a natural disaster.

She called on the city to act responsibly in all parts of eThekwini and not just some.
