THE City of uMhlathuze is calling out acts of sabotage targeting critical municipal infrastructure.

This after the municipality released a short video clip showing stones inside a manhole in Brackenham.

City Mayor Xolani Ngwezi said this ‘deliberate act’ resulted in a sewer blockage in the area, disrupting vital services to residents.


“Vandalism and sabotage of our infrastructure set back service delivery. We call upon all residents to help us look after and protect the city’s assets,” said Ngwezi.
