The Premier chaired a meeting of the Multi-Party Political Intervention Committee at the Archie Gumede Conference Centre in Mayville, located in eThekwini Metro, on Tuesday, 22 September 2026.
This Committee aims to foster a culture of political tolerance and to maintain stability and peaceful coexistence among leaders, members, and supporters of various political parties, particularly during the campaign period and the elections.
During the meeting, the Honourable Premier stressed the importance of political party leaders encouraging their members to demonstrate a high level of political maturity at all times.
“After over 30 years of democracy, we cannot permit any instances of political intolerance. Such behavior must be recognized and treated as criminal acts. Law enforcement will not accept any lawlessness.”
