Durban - eThekwini Deputy Mayor Belinda Scott has thrown in the towel on her duty to bring stability in the eThekwini municipality and has settled for business interests, the ANC in the region said on Wednesday.
“The Deputy Mayor is deployed to this municipality by her organisation . We can confirm that she has given an indication of her desire to resign. However, we will be able to confirm her departure fully once that is communicated to us by her organisation.” Scott, who has been a member of a number of portfolios in the provincial legislature, said she was a committed member of the ANC and where or when she was deployed was a decision of the movement.
ANC eThekwini regional task team deputy coordinator Bheki Ntuli said Scott would be pursuing her business interests, but he could not confirm the exact date of her departure.
