Gatvol eThekwini resident? Time is running out for you to have your say on how the city can improve

Durban city hall, eThekwini municipality. Picture: Facebook eThekwini residents have until Friday, 6 March, to have their say on how the city can improve their performance. Residents are urged to make their voices heard by submitting comments on the draft annual report 2024/25.

EThekwini Council Speaker Councillor Thabani Nyawose has encouraged residents to submit their inputs before the deadline to ensure the final report reflects the priorities of the people it serves. “The Annual Report is our commitment to honesty, accountability, and improved service delivery, but its true strength lies in the voices of our residents,” he said. Nyawose stressed how community input drives transparency, strengthens financial stability and ensures that municipal decisions serve the people of the city.

The municipality has been conducting extensive public consultations across all regions with the hope of creating a platform for communities to engage with the draft annual report. The engagements allow residents to interrogate service delivery challenges and also reflect on the city’s performance during the previous financial year. With the deadline fast approaching, the Municipality urges all residents to seize this final opportunity to help build a stronger, more accountable city. The report is available online atwww.durban.gov.za, as well as at Sizakala Centres and Municipal libraries across Durban.
