R20m statues of Madiba, Tambo: eThekwini metro to consult families amid furore
22 January 2019
The eThekwini municipality will first speak to families and follow other vital points of protocol before making announcements on statues of ANC stalwarts in the city, Mayor Zandile Gumede has said.
"We will soon make a formal and public announcement on this. First, we will have to consult with the premier's office, national government and the families before we give you feedback.
"It is important that protocol is observed when it comes to certain political decisions," she said on Tuesday during an executive committee (exco) meeting at Moses Mabhida Stadium.
She added that officials and politicians were accountable to the public.
