Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>The private home of eThekwini Mayor Mxolisi Kaunda came under “attack” on Sunday evening.<\/p>\n

Municipality spokesperson Simphiwe Dlamini said in a statement that the City’s leadership condemned the “senseless attack”.<\/p>\n

“Although the mayor is a public figure and the number one citizen of the city, he and his family deserve to be protected,” Dlamini said.<\/p>\n

He added that the City understood the confusion among members of the public over the fact that some political figures, such as mayors and premiers, live in state houses.<\/p>\n

“This may allow citizens to feel entitled to march to their houses. We would like to clarify that the mayor stays in a private residence and his home is not public property.”<\/p>\n

The actual nature of the “attack” is yet to be communicated to the public.<\/p>\n

News24 contacted the mayor’s spokesperson, Mluleki Mntungwa, for further details, which will be added when received.<\/p>\n

Dlamini said the City’s leadership called on the police to “act swiftly to investigate those behind this attack”.<\/p>\n

Dlamini added: “They must be brought to book for their thuggery and this terrorising act.”<\/p>\n

According to Dlamini, the municipality lost many councillors as a result of murder.<\/p>\n

“We take every threat seriously. It should be noted that many of these councillors were killed in their place of residence, hence our justified concerns regarding this attack.”<\/p>\n

In February, a group of around 100 people marched to the private residence of Premier Nomusa Dube-Ncube.<\/p>\n

The premier was not at home during the protest.<\/p>\n

They allegedly hurled insults and made threats, which caused her family, including her children, trauma.<\/p>\n

A video of the protest that went viral at the time showed the group marching to Dube-Ncube’s home, saying they were on a door-to-door campaign.<\/p>\n

The KwaZulu-Natal government ordered an investigation into threats and intimidation after the group gathered outside her home.<\/p>\n
