It involves the suspension of eThekwini's deputy city manager for trading services, Sibusiso Makhanya.

Xaba says he won't be dragged into a back-and-forth with Buthelezi via the media.

Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (Cogta) MEC Thulasizwe Buthelezi and the mayor of eThekwini, Cyril Xaba, have had a terse exchange regarding allegations of corruption as well as the suspension of a senior official.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, Buthelezi announced that he had instructed Xaba to ensure that the suspension of the deputy city manager for trading services, Sibusiso Makhanya, which was taken on 13 September 2024, was rescinded within 72 hours.

Buthelezi told Xaba that it was not in the remit of the executive committee of any municipality to suspend senior managers.
