Friday Focus: The North Coast This Week

Loading player...
This week we track an illegal land occupation in Umhlali that has grown to an estimated 2,000 people, five years after a court ordered the municipality to act. We look at why provincial Treasury has stepped in to halt the Siza Water deal, what a new privacy code could mean for security gates across the region, and the tariff increases coming as KwaDukuza adopts its budget next Thursday. We close with the voter registration updates underway ahead of the November election.
