Today, the leaders of the King Cetshwayo District Municipality, led by the Honorable A.T Ntuli, embarked on a visit to Ward 13 and Ward 08 under the jurisdiction of the Nkandla Municipality. Their mission: to launch the construction of toilets for those who are currently without access to this basic necessity.
In Ward 13, a substantial R1.3 million has been allocated to facilitate the installation of toilets. Mayor Ntuli emphasized that this program is expected to create employment opportunities for up to 25 people in the area, contributing to local economic development. Moreover, it is anticipated that this initiative will benefit 71 families, significantly improving their quality of life.

Moving to Ward 08, another substantial allocation of R1.6 million has been made for a similar initiative. Here too, the project is expected to generate employment for more than 25 individuals, underlining the municipality’s commitment to creating job opportunities. A total of 86 households will benefit from the improved sanitation facilities.
As in Ward 13, the contractor for this project will also commence work on October 16, 2023, with the target of completing the project by June 30, 2024.
Mayor Ntuli further highlighted the municipality’s determination to engage local businessmen and entrepreneurs in these initiatives, ensuring that they are not excluded. The objective is to create opportunities for local businesses to participate, grow, and develop alongside these projects, fostering economic development within the community.
The allocation of R3 million to address housing repairs and sanitation improvements in the area reflects the commitment of local leadership to uplifting the living standards of their citizens and fostering economic development within the region.
