IN A JOINT raid on bad buildings, various depart-ments from the Munici-pality collaborated with the South African Police Services and offi cially shut down one of the most dilap-idated buildings in the City centre.Following the raid on

Wednesday, 27 January 2016, the Municipality has warned all unscrupulous

landlords that if they con-tinue to contravene health, safety and building bylaw regulations, the City will also raid and close down their buildings.This was the strong mes-

sage given by iTrump Senior Manager Hoosen Moolla during a raid which led to the closing down of one of the City’s worst rundown buildings near Joseph Nduli (Russell Street).The building which has

broken windows and old, rotting wooden fl oorboards and an unbearable stench was home to more than 500

people.Moolla said the building

had been a problem be-cause of its severely dilapi-

dated condition.“To make matters worse,

this bad building was also being used as an illegal accommodation establish-ment,” he said.Moolla said the tenants

who were cramped in small cubicles partitioned with thin wooden planks were paying rent ranging from R800 to R1200 monthly.The building which had

been served with contra-vention notices previously

had no ventilation system or adequate ablution facilities.Moolla said the City’s clo-

sure list included over 120 buildings which fell under different contravention categories.EThekwini Municipality

intends to tackle the issue of derelict buildings in the City through the recently gazetted Problem Building By-law.

ETHEKWINI Munic-ipality is taking the necessary steps to address the service disruptions being

experienced in a number of areas across the City and is deeply concerned about the impact it is having on residents’ daily lives.The following services have been affected: electricity, water supply, housing, roads and stormwater maintenance.There are delays in attend-

ing to reports of electricity faults and power outages, delays in water delivery as water tankers have been stoned as well as plumbers attending to leaks and burst pipes being threatened and unable to work.Water shortages being ex-

perienced in the City are as a result of electricity outag-es. Power failures can cause water shortages because when there is no electricity, water pump stations do not function at their optimum level which results in water shortages due to increased demand.Contractors and Munic-

ipal offi cials who have been attacked or prevented from doing their work have reported these incidents to the police. The City is engaging with law enforce-ment authorities to ensure that residents are not further inconvenienced. The public is urged to report any attacks on Municipal staff or contractors they may witness.

COMMUTERS can expect no further disruptions of the Municipal bus service following a signed agree-ment between eThekwini Municipality and bus opera-tor Tansnat Durban CC. The agreement seeks to ensure buses are kept on the road.Following the signing of

this agreement, the City began processing salaries of Tansnat employees for January.However, despite the agree-

ment being in place, com-pany employees embarked on strike action on Monday, 1 February 2016, blockading roads across the City over not being paid.Affected routes includ-

ed the Central Business District, Griffi ths Mxenge Highway, N2 north bound, M4 south bound, M25 and Duffs Road. All employees have since been paid and the bus service resumed on Tuesday,2 February 2016, morning.The signed agreement,

to be made an order of court, will see the court application which the City had initiated to liquidate Tansnat in January 2015 being adjourned pending a determination of whom be-tween the City and Tansnat is indebted to the other, and by how much. The signed agreement also provides for the appointment of an in-tervention team to oversee the fi nancial management of Tannat’s business and the company’s bank account. The agreement further pro-

vides for the appointment of a reputable person or fi rm to adjudicate the issue of monetary claims that the City and Tansnat have regis-tered against each other to determine who owes whom money and how much.This measures will be

implemented in the interim until a Municipal entity is formed to effectively run the bus service. The process is expected to be completed by July.

IT WAS a day of jubilation for teachers and pupils at four schools in Ward 58, when Deputy Mayor, Nom-vuzo Shabalala accompa-nied by Municipal offi cials and representatives from the Al-Imdaad Foundation delivered 1 500 litres of water as a means of offering temporary drought relief.The schools each received

375 litres. They include; Waterloo Secondary School, Sibonginhlanhla Primary School, Waterloo Primary School and Seatides Sec-ondary School. Shabalala thanked the

pupils and teachers for their perseverance and dedi-cation to education while working under diffi cult conditions. “We all know

that the country is facing a drought crisis. We know that the 375 Litres sup-plied today will only offer temporary relief, but we are working very hard to come up with innovate ways that can assist to alleviate the problem. We are currently negotiating with sponsors to donate jojo tanks that can be used to store rain water.”Waterloo Secondary School

Principal, Viora Mbatha, expressed her gratitude to the Municipality and Al-Im-daad for the support. She recalled the diffi culties both teachers and learners faced when there was no water in school. The four schools were identifi ed as having been the most affected by the drought within the Mu-nicipality.

ACCORDING to reports, an estimated 50 000 people can be seen crossing the highway during a busy weekend causing a major safety hazard. With this information in

mind, the eThekwini Munic-ipality is building a pedes-trian bridge at kwaMnyandu Mall in Umlazi.The kwaMnyandu node is

Umlazi’s investment node and has the second busiest train station in the south of Durban. This station sees a minimum of 20 000 pedes-trians crossing the Griffi ths Mxenge Highway during peak hours on a daily basis. Once completed, the bridge

will help ensure the safety of pedestrians who travel daily in the busy area. The KwaM-nyandu Mall and Train Station are both situated in the kwaMnyandu Node. By building the bridge, the

City will also help create job opportunities for local traders. Ten stalls for trad-ers to sell their goods will be installed at the pedestrian bridge. This will play a part in

creating a hive of activity in the area. A dedicated security guard will also be placed within the vicinity to ensure safety to the users of the bridge with the plans to install CCTV cameras in the pipelines. mandisi.hlatshwayo@durban.gov.za

ECONOMIC Development and Planning Committee has recommended a three year extension for a morato-rium on demarcation of new trading sites and issuing of

new permits in the existing management zones. Deputy Head of Busi-

ness Support, Tourism and Markets Unit Thulani Nzama said the 12 month period that was allocated to the process last year is not enough. He said this is

why the unit has requested for an extension to allow proper planning and zoning of special trading areas which will open up more space within the City and avoid congestion. “The process will provide the City with enough time to digest

and fi nd ways of how to implement the fi ndings of an informal trading survey that was recently done. This will allow us to roll out the process of layouts and trading stalls design,” added Nzama. He said the key aim of the moratorium

is to improve management and development of this sector in order to attract investment. He said the unit would address certain issues that might hinder invest-ments, such as illegal trad-ing. “Judging from the high unemployment rate and

with more people entering the trading sector as a job option, we propose that the upgrade and construction of public transport ranks should incorporate trading facilities. This will allow space to open up. nonduduzo.ngcongo@durban.gov.za

“This project will also include the establishment of an Information Manage-ment System for the Unit. This study will also com-plement the work of the Municipality’s Corporate Disaster Management Plan that was approved and

ANNUAL REPORT 2013/14

OVER the past year, strin-gent measures have been implemented to strengthen political oversight, espe-cially over supply chain management and irregular expenditure, with the ulti-mate objective of receiving a clean audit. The City has also made concerted efforts to enhance governance. It is a great pleasure to report that the interventions have fi nally resulted in eThekwi-ni receiving a clean audit for the 2014/15 fi nancial year. The top priority remains

the provision of basic ser-vices to all and while we are currently servicing over 75% of residents, every effort is

being made to eradicate the backlogs. The Back to Basics programme mooted by the National Government has been incorporated into our strategy to fast track service delivery.The leadership of the

Municipality has priori-tised the creation of formal employment in key areas of the economy in order to meet the triple challenge of poverty, unemployment and inequality. Investments include more than 65 fl ag-ship projects across the city which are expected to cre-ate about 680 000 perma-nent jobs in the long-term and the potential revenue of about R 9 billion for the

City. The empowerment of women and youth remain a priority. The City Planning Com-

mission has been estab-lished to align the long-term City Growth and Development Strategy with National and Provincial Government. EThekwini is the fi rst city to set up its own commission after National and Provincial Commissions were estab-lished.Our successful bid to host

the 2022 Commonwealth Games will see Durban as the very fi rst African City to host the Commonwealth Games. The games are projected to create jobs and

provide an estimated R20 billion boost to the local economy. The City has won numerous international accolades and awards and was voted as one of the New 7 Wonder City of the World, which shows the commit-ment and competitive edge of being a leading tourism, events and business desti-nation. Durban was also identifi ed

as participant of the ‘100 Resilient Cities Programme’ by the Rockefeller Foun-dation. This programme aims to assist cities build a resilience strategy to help rebuild society to make the city stronger in the face of complex and unpredictable

future change.In May the eThekwini

Municipality was declared the “Municipality of the Year” in recognition of its Communal Ablution Blocks (CABs) which provides temporary water and sani-tation solution in informal settlements. In conclusion, we attri-

bute our successes to the strong commitment to the principles of accountability, transparency, good gov-ernance, proper fi nancial management and effective internal control systems. My sincere thanks goes to the dedicated employees and political offi ce bearers alike.

Mayor’s Foreword

ANNUAL REPORT2014/15 HIGHLIGHTS

THE clean audit report by the Auditor General was a high-light and befi tting

close to the 2014/15 fi nan-cial year which benchmarks eThekwini Municipality’s effectiveness in service delivery, performance and governance. Indicating compliance with legislature and untainted fi nancial records, the clean audit is a testament to the City’s com-mitment to strict supply chain management process-es, strong internal auditing and good governance. The audit report is con-

tained in the Draft Annual Report 2014/15 which was released for public com-ment until 1 March 2016. It showcases the proud service delivery record of the City, providing insight to details of the City’s performance, accomplishments and chal-lenges over the last fi nancial year.

HIGHLIGHTSThe city has delivered 5516

new houses and 144 family units. Potable water is de-livered to 92% of residents, and only 15.83% of informal housing falls below the min-imum requirements of our water service delivery levels. The City also supplies elec-tricity to 730 000 customers and a weekly refuse removal service is provided to 945 910 households.

Serving our Community

These and other services provided make eThekwini Municipality a leading city in South Africa.City Manager, Sibusiso

Sithole, said, “Most notable among the achievements is winning the bid to host the 2022 Commonwealth Games amongst numerous other international and local accolades and awards. International company,

Mercer, placed Durban as the city with the highest

quality of living, ahead of Cape Town and Johannes-burg in its 2015 Quality of Living survey. “The survey considers the political and socio – economic environ-ment and other consider-ations which are embedded in our Integrated Develop-ment Plan.”

FINANCIAL PERFOR-MANCESithole said the Munici-

pality was able to sustain

its revenue collection rate, which was 103.04 per-cent, and which has again exceeded its target of 95 percent. “The fi nancial ratios illustrate the healthy fi nancial situation our Municipality is currently in. The consolidated surplus for the 2014/2015 fi nancial year increased substantially by R929 million and as at year end the surplus stood at R2.9 billion.”He said the capital expen-

diture of R 4.7 billion as at 30 June 2015, represents ap-proximately 91.65 percent spend on the adjusted bud-geted amount. “The reason for the under-spend is due mainly to R422 million of the Department of Trans-port and Public Transport Infrastructure grant being unspent as at year end. This has been attributed to

R300 million of non-awards and the loss of 31 days of production due to disrup-

tions, ” explained Sithole.The current long term cred-

it rating of AA- received by the City places eThekwini in a favourable position should it fi nd the need to borrow.

CHALLENGESService delivery has not

come without challenges though. Sithole explains that water loss in distri-bution continues to be a serious challenge despite the numerous interventions by our Water Department. Similarly, electricity loss in distribution is 7.7%, in spite of interventions and additional costs. Rapid urban migration continues to impact on the infrastruc-ture and service delivery backlogs negatively. The provision of housing

is dependent on budget allocations by the Provincial and National governments and the actual funding received does not make it possible for the Munic-ipality to reduce the ever increasing housing backlog. Unfunded mandates are also a stumbling block. Notwithstanding the

challenges, eThekwini has performed well over the fi nancial year. Sithole thanked the City leadership and staff for their continued support and dedication to delivering services to our communities.

EThekwini Municipality’s committment to service delivery has paid off, delivering a multitude of services to its residents from new houses and family units to clean water supply and electricity.

ANNUAL REPORT 2013/14

POLITICAL leaders and the heads of administration have a leadership responsi-bility and are accountable for ensuring good gover-nance in their municipali-ties. Some of the principles of good governance that Municipalities should demonstrate compliance with are accountability, transparency, rule of law, responsiveness, equity and inclusiveness, effectiveness and effi ciency and partici-pationThe Municipality continu-

ously strives to uphold the values of good governance as espoused by the King III report. We have a robust Audit Committee in place

which meets regularly and errant offi cials are often called to account. The Municipal Public Accounts Committee (MPAC) comple-ments the Audit Committee and ensures accountability by playing an additional oversight role.In addition, the Audit and

Risk Assurance Services is an independent, objective unit that brings a systemat-ic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of governance, risk management, and control processes. The City Integrity and Investigations Unit also work inde-pendently to ensure that all cases of fraud, maladmin-

istration, corruption and human rights violations are thoroughly investigated.The Municipality views

the reduction of irregular expenditure as a very high priority. Stringent measures have been implemented to drastically reduce the utilisation of Section 36 contracts and consequently reduce the risk of possible irregular expenditure. In the spirit of our Con-

stitution the Municipality ensures regular public participation with prime examples being the exten-sive budget hearings and the wide distribution of the Annual Report for public comments.

Auditor General’s OpinionEThekwini Municipality and its entities, the Durban Marine Theme Park and the International Convention Centre have received clean audits

BORROWINGSIN order to fulfi l its service delivery mandate, the municipality will have to borrow R1.0 billion in the 2015/2016 fi nancial year. The pricing of the bond

issuance is likely to cost 60 basis points to 75 basis points more than the term loan, excluding the costs of lead arranger and rating agency costs. It is there-fore at the best interest of the municipality to defer

the issuance of eThekwini inaugural bond until the market conditions are more favourable. The municipality will invite the tenderers for the provision of long term loan fi nance for capital projects through long term vanilla loan in 2015/16 fi nancial year. INVESTMENTS The South African eco-

nomic recovery remains subdued. The economy is

expected to grow at 1.5% in 2015 and infl ation is expected to be 3% - 6% target band over the me-dium term. In the prevail-ing turbulent fi nancial markets, it is likely that the Monetary Policy Commit-tee will continue increasing the repo rate in 2016 by 25 basis points in Q1 and Q2. The interest earned by the eThekwini Municipality for 2015 fi nancial year is R 360.0 million.

CAPITAL expenditure relates mainly to construc-tion projects that will have value lasting over many years. Capital expenditure is funded from grants, bor-

rowings, and surpluses.Savings is mainly as a

result of a delay in the implementation of IRPTN grant funded projects, a number of projects are in

the planning phase.The capital expenditure of

R4.7billion which is 92% of the fi nal budget as refl ect-ed in the Appropriation Statement.

Comment on Borrowings and Investments

Spending against capital budget

THE Municipality con-tinues to maintain in a strong fi nancial position underpinned mainly by an outstanding cash collection rate, growth in revenue, moderate gearing, stable debt, and strong liquidity. In addition, the Munici-

pality operates by its proud record of always receiving an unqualifi ed audit re-port, and raised the bar by receiving a clean audit for the 2014/15 fi nancial year. Furthermore, despite the

current economic climate, the Municipality managed to maintain its investment grade credit rating of AA- in the long term and A1+ in the short term with a positive outlook. The long-term rating means that the Municipality has very high credit quality, protection factors are very strong, and

adverse changes in busi-ness, economic or fi nancial conditions would increase investment risk although not signifi cantly. The short-term rating

means that the Municipali-ty has the highest certainty of timely payment, short-term liquidity, including internal operating factors and/or access to alterna-tive sources of funds is high, and risk factors are extremely low. This is the highest rating in the mu-nicipal sector.

EXPENDITURETotal expenditure grew

by 9% in 2014/2015. The biggest costs relate to Bulk Purchases (32%) and Salaries and Wages (27%). Accordingly, we have made representations to NERSA and the Umgeni

Water Board to ensure that the electricity and water tariff increases are kept to a minimum. Importantly, the Municipality has increased its investment in managing its assets, and accordingly, Repairs and Maintenance as a percentage of total expenditure increased (9.3%). This indicates that the Municipality’s assets are being adequately main-tained and that there is a long-term vision in terms of sustainability.

REVENUEThe Municipality achieved

an outstanding overall collection rate of 103.46% for the year under review. There has been strict adherence to the Credit Control & Debt Collection Policy and the Rates Policy.

ANNUAL REPORT 2013/14

SERVICE DELIVERY

THE Water and Sanita-tion services’ mission is to provide effi cient, effective, affordable and sustainable delivery of quality water and sanitation services to the people of eThekwini in a customer friendly manner. It does this through its in-volvement in the treatment and distribution of world class potable water, and the treatment of both domestic and industrial effl uent. It is renowned both locally and internationally as a centre for municipal research and innovation and has won several awards in this regard, the most noteworthy of which was the Stockholm Water Industry Award.

THE eThekwini Transport Authority (ETA) continues to deliver a safe and sus-tainable transport system for the region. The ETA developed robust plans to address the transport needs of the region from a freight, public transport and road network perspective. Con-struction has continued on the C3 Public Transport corridor from Bridge City to Pinetown.

A full Public Transport Plan and a IFLS action plan has been developed. A short while ago a Non Motorised Plan was com-pleted. A solid platform in terms of understanding the needs of society has been determined, and the fi nan-cial requirements thereof have been completed. The rollout of the infrastructure and services are now in the process of being imple-

mented across the various sectors. 123 000 Muvo cards have been issued, with 900 000 taps per month. The Empowerment

Charter for the Go Durban Project has been hugely successful has set a strong platform to address issues relating to skills develop-ment, corporate social investment, enterprise development and employ-ment equity.

DSW had another eventful year encompassing both achievements and chal-lenges. One of the high-lights was the construc-tion of the Electron Road Transfer Station which has been completed and was offi cially commissioned in 2014. In addition, Durban Solid Waste (DSW) won numerous awards, two of which are the PMR Golden Arrow Award and the KZN Premier Award for the Best Public Service Implement-ed Programme /Project of the year. A weekly refuse removal

service is provided to 945 910 households. All back-logs were cleared based on the current analysis to pre-viously non serviced areas. New dwellings/informal settlements are continually identifi ed and this creates a moving target which will be addressed on an annual basis. All major streets are

DESPITE fi nancial chal-lenges encountered during 2014/2015, 5516 new fully subsidised houses were constructed in projects across the metro. Further-more, additional houses constructed in previous years were connected to services and allocated to qualifying benefi ciaries. Development of the land assembly pipeline plan and acquisition of more than 22 000 hectares of land posi-tions the unit for continued and accelerated service de-livery in the years to come.The Municipality continues to encourage property ownership through the sale of rental stock and upgrad-ing and transfer of pre-1994 housing units to occupants. More than 2800 units in for-mer townships and ex-own affairs areas were upgraded during 2014/2015. The construction of 46 homes aimed at the gap market was facilitated, and 735 Title Deeds were registered in the Deeds registrar.Rental accommodation continues to be offered through new family units in former hostels (Com-munity Residential Units) and through the Unit’s facilitation of Social Hous-ing. In addition to the 520 units facilitated through this programme, fi ve new

THE Unit supplies electric-ity to over 730 000 custom-ers in a 2 000 km2 area. The Electricity Unit’s mission is to provide electricity, public lighting and other energy services that satisfy our customers and community whilst maintaining sound business principles.

The ethos adopted by the Unit promotes economic sustainability. The elec-trical network has been progressively upgraded to cater for growth and new connections. This includes the electrifi cation of bur-geoning informal settle-ments within the City.

Municipal Area (EMA) are cleaned with Mechanical Sweepers on a planned schedule. DSW has engaged 366 community based contractors and 33 major contractors to provide domestic refuse collection and litter picking in their contracted areas.

non-profi t social housing institutions have been accredited, setting up the programme for accelera-tion in the coming years. Priority is given to projects in designated restructuring zones and strategically located mixed-use areas.

Eleven restructuring zones have been identifi ed, fi ve of which have been approved and gazetted as of June 2015, and a number of projects are in the pipeline in various stages of imple-mentation from feasibility studies to construction.

The Umhlanga Lighthouse is one of Durban’s popular tourist attractions and is situated at Umhlanga Beach, north of the City. Its towering 21 metre circular tower was constructed on 24 November 1954, and stands guard to some of the most treacherous waters of Southern Africa. The lighthouse also alerts ships to dangers, while the fl ashing lights are a warm welcome to vessels entering Durban. The light goes as far as 24 sea miles and the height of the focal plane is 25 metres over high water. Picture: ASHEEN RAMSAROOP

Umhlanga LighthouseWe are addressing service deliveryA number of

vital services have been disrupted this

week adversely affect-ing residents. Firstly the service dis-ruptions have affected a number of house-holds who have been without electricity and water. Other affected services include housing, roads and stormwater maintenance.Residents can rest assured that City leadership is doing every-thing in its power to address the issue of service disruptions. We understand the impact it is having on their daily lives and are greatly concerned about this as service delivery is key to every-thing we do as the Municipality.Ensuring all eThekwini residents receive essential services and seeing their lives greatly improved as a result is what we strive to achieve.The service disruptions are a result of Municipal staff and con-tractors being threatened and in-timidated by a group. This group has prevented them from carrying out their duties providing essen-tial services to customers. Some private sub-contractors have also been affected as they have been ordered to stop work. City leadership has taken action to effectively deal with this situ-ation. We acknowledge that our con-stitution guarantees the right to

protest against those with whom we have a griev-ance. However, such protests must be conducted in a manner that does not infringe the rights of others. We appeal to all parties to contin-

ue with the negotiation process in order to ensure a return of services. We are also investigating this issue to get to the bottom of it and see what needs to be done to ef-fectively deal with and to prevent a reoccurrence.A heartfelt thanks must be extended to Municipal offi cials who have been reporting to work everyday amidst the threats of violence and intimidation. Your dedication and perseverance to your work has not gone unno-ticed.The bus service was also disrupted recently inconveniencing hunderds of commuters. However we do not expect further disruptions to the Municipal bus service going forward as an agreement has been signed. Interim measures will be taken to effectively run the bus service until a Municipal entity is formed to operate the service. We are committed to service delivery and will continue to serve the residents of eThekwini.

I would like to congratulate the contractors doing the road cleaning work on Old North Coast Road (especially between the R102 and Sneezewood Rd), as the pavement, gutters and roadway are always immaculately clean and tidy - well done!

Thank you for the complement. We will pass your kind words to the relevant staff. It helps to know they have truly made a difference to those we serve.

I have not had orange refuse since end of October last year. I have made numerous calls and always get the same answer. It is an incon-venient not to have orange bags. I have scrounged a few bags from friends in my area because they get bags. The situation is really not nice.

Marian LortanKestrel CrescentYellowwood Park

Currently bags are being distributed as they come out of production. This is largely due to the change in contractors manufacturing the bags. We apologise for the inconvenience caused.

Contractor doing impressive work

While many residents do their best to conserve water and be as economical with usage as they can, it is disheartening to notice that water leaks go unattended for days, despite numerous reports and follow-up phone calls. On Nunhead Road in Manor Gardens there have been leaks which were reported on 09 and 14 January 2016. A Municipal truck drove by, had a look and then left. The leak was repaired

on 19 January 2016, after numerous calls by the neighbors. Please help me make sense of this level of wast-age in the midst of the drought! Emiline MurdeyManor Gardens

Thank you for raising this concern with us. The Municipality acknowl-edges the numerous leaks reported in this area and have since initiated

a project to rehabilitate the affected piping infrastructure which is sched-uled to commence anytime soon. The Municipality is in the process of hiring more Plumbers to reduce the turnaround times of repairs to leaks. It becomes challenging to match the current resources to the demand and we sincerely apologise for the delay caused. Editor

YOUNG females from Durban have been given a rare opportunity to show-case their football talent on the international stage as the City’s Sports and Recreation Department is currently conducting selec-tion trials for U/15 female soccer players.The female players (born in

2001 or later) will be part of Team eThekwini to repre-sent Durban in Bremen after the City was invited by its Sister City, Bremen, Germa-

ny, to participate in the 2016 One Nations Cup Football Festival. The aim of the tournament

is to develop intercultural peace building connections between young people all over the world – irrespec-tive of their cultural and religious. The festival is scheduled to commence from 30 May until 04 June 2016. Since its inception in 2006 it will be the fi rst time this year that Team eThe-kwini will be represented by girls. This bears testimony that the City is serious about

gender equity in all aspects of life, including sports. Players attending selec-

tion trials should bring their birth certifi cates with photos. They should also provide their own sports attire for the trials. Registra-tion will be from 08h00 to 10h00 and thereafter the se-lection trials will begin. The next selections will be held at Sugar Ray Xulu Stadium, 06 February 2016, King Zwelithini Stadium, 07 Feb-ruary and Hoypark Sports Field, 13 February 2016.vuyo.ndlovu@durban.gov.za

International stars fl ock to Durban NONDUMISO MATHOMANE and CHARMEL PAYET

THE growth in the interest of international stars to per-form in Durban has proved that the City is a destination of choice. Not only has the infl ux of

top international acts in-jected money into the City’s coffers, but it has also led to job creation. This is the offi cial word

from City offi cials, includ-ing City Manager Sibusiso Sithole and Moses Mabhida Stadium General Manager Vusi Mazibuko as a host of international stars, including top-selling songbird Mariah Carey prepare to make their way to Durban this year.Sithole said based on the

number of international artists visiting our shores, it was clear that Durban has been marketed as a choice destination for artists.“We have also received

positive feedback from them (artists) about our beautiful country and vibrant culture.

They have also noted the multi-racial audience that comes out to enjoy their shows and how lively the audience is,” he said.Mazibuko said the infl ux

of international artists was not happening by chance, saying it was the results of the City’s two-year plan to lure international artists to Durban.

“Durban has previously been seen as a soft market where people don’t buy tickets. As the stadium management and the City we knew we had to change

this,” said Mazibuko. In partnership with

event organisers, the City approached the biggest in-ternational artists and also ensured that the stars were well looked after by cater-ing to their requests and providing them with best facilities and infrastructure, said Mazibuko, adding that the City’s efforts yielded the desired results with a grow-ing willingness by artists to perform in Durban. Impressed with the crop of

artists Durban was roping in, and sold-out ticket sales, Mazibuko said the stadium management was subse-quently approached by oth-er event organisers wanting to stage huge concerts in the City. “What we’re seeing in Durban has never happened before. To have so many big stars coming to perform in our City is a fi rst and we’re extremely pleased,” he said. Artists that are billed to

perform in Durban this year include the best-selling

female artist of all time, Mariah Carey, who will be performing in South Africa for the fi rst time with her “Sweet Sweet Fantasy” tour. She will be performing at Moses Mabhida Stadium on 29 April 2016. Another international superstar making his way to Durban this year is US comedian and actor Kevin Hart who will be performing at Inkosi Albert Luthuli Internation-al Convention Centre on March 28. Durbanites can also look forward to a per-formance by Lionel Richie, who will be perfoming at the Moses Mabhida Stadi-um on Sunday, March 13. Female rapper Nicki Minaj will also be perfoming in Durban in March. Mazibuko said the sta-

dium and City had made economic spin-offs while promoting the City as tour-ist destination. The infl ux of artists had also helped create 8 000 jobs last year.
