The eThekwini Municipality Mayor, Mxolisi Kaunda, has presented 127 new vehicles to improve the roads and storm water management fleet in an effort to speed up service delivery and speed up repairs of infrastructure destroyed during the KwaZulu-Natal floods.
This comes after the City spent R270 million to upgrade its fleet of heavy trucks and yellow plant vehicles.
Speaking during the Moses Mabhida Stadium launch of the new fleet, Kaunda stated that “we took the choice to invest in this fleet” because “road infrastructure is vital in allowing development and economic growth in the city”.

The city will be able to repair the infrastructure more quickly thanks to the new fleet as a result of the April floods.
“Recently, we launched the Cleansing and Solid Waste fleet to improve waste management in the City. Over a period of five years, we plan to spend about R500 million on waste management infrastructure.
“We also recently unveiled the R380 million new bus fleet to provide safe affordable and reliable transport to commuters, particularly the poor and the working class,”
“One of the benefits of this new fleet is that it does not require major maintenance and repairs. Therefore, people will see more of our yellow fleet in their communities maintaining and building new infrastructure.”
