The Democratic Alliance (DA) in KwaZulu-Natal expressed satisfaction with the positive strides that uMngeni Mayor Chris Pappas, Deputy Mayor Sandile Mnikathi and their team continue to make in the municipality.

This after the Provincial Spatial Integration Report 2024/25 ranked the municipality as number one in the province for ensuring households have access to essential services.

DA KwaZulu-Natal leader Francois Rodgers explained that the 93.75% access score reflected the number of households with the minimum level of access to essential services in uMngeni.

uMngeni local municipality is the DA’s first outright municipality in KwaZulu-Natal. The municipality was won by the DA from the African National Congress (ANC) in the 2021 municipal elections.

Rodgers stated that in just one term, the DA had delivered more than the ANC ever did in over 25 years.

“The DA continues being a beacon of hope in the province of KwaZulu-Natal. Conceded by the opposition, DA governments across the country continue being effective and delivering efficient services,” he said.

He noted that the upcoming 2026 Local Government Elections gave the residents of uMngeni as well as across the province an opportunity to vote for progress in their municipalities.
