Recently, eThekwini mayor Mxolisi Kaunda assured the public that the municipality aims to revive all housing projects that had been stalled.

Following the complaints concerning the city’s inability to meet the housing needs for beneficiaries, Kaunda stated that the municipality was not to blame for the Umbhayi Housing Project delay.

Kaunda said, “The delays were not caused by the municipality, but several factors beyond our control. Most of the six years were spent on the civil infrastructure work and delays experienced impacted on the top-structure construction.”

Efforts to identify and continue with bottlenecked projects are underway across the City.
