It&#8217;s a good thing. That&#8217;s why even ourselves [we have placed] greater focus in eThekwini,&#8221; Mtolo added.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Why? Because eThekwini is the biggest region in the country, and our focus is greater in eThekwini.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But you want national to leave KwaZulu-Natal as if nothing happens? That would be irresponsible from leadership. They must come to KwaZulu-Natal until you start writing [positively] about it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mtolo said national officials would keep returning &#8220;until they&#8217;re satisfied&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>He added that if NEC members stayed in Luthuli House and relied on the PEC for everything then they would be &#8220;irresponsible&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>He said Mabuyakhulu would be deployed in the Zululand District Municipality, King Cetshwayo District Municipality, Mkhanyakude District Municipality, iNkosi Bhambatha uMzinyathi District Municipality among other regions.<\/p>\n<p>The ANC has lost several wards to the IFP in recent by-elections.<\/p>\n<p>Mtolo said Mabuyakhulu had an &#8220;advantage&#8221; because, unlike ministers who were deployed to assist the provincial office bearers, he had time to assist the PEC because he was not a government deployee.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Mtolo criticised eThekwini councillors for running council meetings for up to 12 hours.<\/p>\n<p>He said the ANC would intervene to ensure that council meetings were shorter.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to News24 on the sidelines, ANC spokesperson Mafika Mndebele said the provincial ANC would &#8220;directly organise and supervise&#8221; its caucus in eThekwini.<\/p>\n<p>Mndebele said:<\/p>\n<p>This intervention comes after the national government decided in May that the eThekwini Municipality needed a Section 154 support intervention.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-africa\">South-Africa<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Africa.
