DA calls for law and order in eThekwini
1 March 2024
The Democratic Alliance is calling on both the South African Police Service (SAPS) and eThekwini Metro Police to regain law and order in the city, following the rampant lawlessness and destruction being inflicted on the city and communities by members of the ANC-aligned South African Municipal Workers Union (SAMWU).
It is unthinkable that such disregard for the law can be on full display by SAMWU while the SAPS and Metro Police fail to bring the situation under control.
However, this is not happening in a vacuum. The ANC-run eThekwini Municipality leadership and ANC-run KwaZulu-Natal Provincial government have remained entirely silent during this strike which is seeing rubbish pile up across the city, electrical faults remaining unresolved and water bursts untreated.
EThekwini is already in crisis because of the ANC and now their aligned unions are only making the situation worse for ordinary citizens who just want to go to work and take their children to school.
