Haniff Hoosen - DA eThekwini Mayoral Candidate. The DA will head to the Durban High Court on Friday over staff appointments made in the eThekwini Municipality in November 2025.
The DA in eThekwini believes that court interdicts are one of the first steps it is implementing to return good governance to eThekwini Municipality and get the city working again.
This is according to DA eThekwini mayoral candidate Haniff Hoosen, ahead of a Durban High Court matter on Friday.
In December 2025, the DA brought an application in the Durban High Court seeking an interdict against the appointment of two senior municipal staff members to the positions of Executive Director of Water and Sanitation and Executive Director of Public Safety.
Hoosen’s statement comes days after the municipality appointed Dr Sandile Mnguni as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Malusi Mhlongo as executive director in the Office of the City Manager on Wednesday.
