KwaZulu-Natal: Broken promises | Carte Blanche | M-Net

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝟭𝟵 𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰.
At King Shaka International Airport in KwaZulu-Natal, the much-anticipated, multi-million rand statue of King Shaka Zulu is still ominously missing. The imposing bronze statue has been years in the making but - much like promised housing and infrastructure projects in the province - it has yet to be officially unveiled. In one community, residents are still waiting for government to deliver on its promise of housing and proper sanitation. But contractors abandoned the project many years ago and the land where the houses should’ve been built is empty. Carte Blanche examines whether the trail of broken promises in KwaZulu-Natal will impact how people in these communities cast their votes.

“Voting for the MK party as a way of showing their unhappiness with the ANC”. I hope voters are smarter than that. JZ is a big part of the reason why the ANC is in such a mess in the first place.

Every town or city being led by ANC is not functioning properly. The corruption, negligence and having no willingness to fix Durban is making Ethekwini one of of the most undesirable places to visit. ANC is killing Ethekwini tourism and the city itself.

[@oluhlesbongakonke8979]

I run a small waste oil company. I place containers by clients. So I pay for the containers. Use diesel to drive to the clients. Do extra stuff like old old filters and oily rags. Then the clients stabs me in the back by either selling the oil to someone else. Or extorting more money for their oil. It has gotten worse over the last two years.

If you vote for the ANC, EFF or MK, you deserve what you are getting. The DA is doing well BUT is not perfect. All you have to do is look at the townships in the WC. Overall though, the DA is doing a decent job though thry could do more. However parties such as ActionSA and Bosa could also be viable options.

[@theodorahmaile4101]
