Statement by eThekwini Municipal Speaker, Cllr James Nxumalo.
My office has received the letter from IFP caucus leader, Cllr Mdu Nkosi, requesting the Municipality to donate one of the elephants in Warwick Triangle to the party. Council has a resolution on the matter and we are still awaiting a report by City Manager on the way forward.
We totally reject the IFP’s attempt to politicise this matter. We cannot donate any of the elephants to a political party as we would be politicising the work of the artist.
