At the KwaDukuza Municipality’s Council chambers last Wednesday, representatives for the “Prawn and Jazz festival” where on hand presenting a pitch in order to secure funds and logistical support for the annual event.
Majority of the KwaDukuza cabinet were on hand as Mayor Thulani Khuluse chaired the meeting.
“Tourism initiative is for people to have a holiday and spend money. I believe Tourism has not been exploited especially in Ballito. We have a feeding scheme in place as well. 60% of support came by way of corporate sponsorship. We need a greater buy in and the complete backing of the KDM,” said the representative.
Cllr Mbanda responded with immediacy.
“Our people do not need to be fed but educated. It would be great if you can sponsor school uniforms.”
Cllr McDonnell of the DA pointed out that the new venue did not have basic infrastructure like water, electricity and roads.
Deputy Mayor, Bonny Maraj, clearly thought this sketchy and suggested the need for a breakdown of logistics.
Most councillors present nodded in agreement about this pitch containing too much ambiguity.
“This presents more problems than solutions,” said Mayor Khuluse according to his final assessment.
