First and for most, I would like to extend gratitude for the continued public trust and support that has been afforded to me as the mayor. Since I took office in 2011, my vision has always been ‘’A better life for all citizens of uMlalazi.’’

With the understanding that uMlalazi is eligibly rural, we have prioritised delivery of basic necessities to try and improve the living conditions of our citizens. We have also studied that in order to sustain and maintain community identity and commitment, lack of basic resources to meet needs of resident’s stands as a major factor to a community’s instability. We have therefore been channelled to focus more on the provision of infrastructure and facilities that define and support our communities.
