Umzimvubu mayor promises more cuts

Despite her municipality celebrating a clean audit in the 2015-16 financial year for the first time in years, the new mayor of Umzimvubu local municipality has promised more drastic cuts – especially on travel, accommodation and catering for meetings.

Addressing a media breakfast in KwaBhaca (Mt Frere) yesterday where she highlighted municipal achievements in her first 100 days in office, mayor Bulelwa Mabengu said they wanted to channel more money towards service delivery.
