R5.5m house ‘not for uMhlathuze mayor', says city

Richards Bay - The City of uMhlathuze has started the process of constructing a R5.5*million official mayoral residence in the plush suburb of Meer en See in Richards Bay.

The city said the house would not be used as the mayor’s private residence, as an opposition party has claimed, but would rather be used to host delegations and guests such as investors, while the mayor continues to live in his private *residence.

Spokesperson for the municipality Mdu Ncalane said it made business sense to host delegations in a municipal building rather than to hire hotels; hence the house had been “strategically located” in a prime precinct.

“The house will remain a *municipal house regardless who the incumbent is, and/or whichever political party he or she may come from,” he added.
