đź“Ť City of eThekwini (Durban): Rebuilding and Renewal
📅 Wednesday, October 21, 2026 | ⏰ 10:00 AM
Heading to the coast, the eThekwini town hall promises to be a fierce contest. The region remains a highly contested electoral battleground, with emerging political players like the MK Party shaking up the traditional dynamics against established parties. Candidates will be pressed on their plans to restore investor confidence, fix aging water infrastructure, boost tourism, and accelerate post-disaster rebuilding efforts. The stakes for Durban’s future have never been higher.
