Former MP Omie Singh has written to Durban’s municipal manager after his daughter sustained serious injuries when a shoe shiner’s platform collapsed at the Florida Road street market on Sunday.

Singh expressed disappointment city officials failed to respond to his numerous messages to report the incident that occurred at an eThekwini Municipality organised event — the first-ever street market on the popular road in Morningside.His daughter, Pranshansa Singh, 40, was hospitalised after she was diagnosed with concussion, partial loss of memory and brain damage.Singh said his family was at the market when a stallholder, who was promoting polish for white takkies, approached his daughter.

“She has since remained in hospital and is being treated by a neurologist, neurosurgeon, physician and physiotherapist,” Singh said.He said his family was traumatised by this event “which is apparently indicative of safety breaches by both the stallholder and the municipality”.In the letter to the municipal manager, Singh said he had tried on numerous occasions to get hold of officials, without success.

“I am extremely disappointed that even though some of your officials were at the scene and who might have received the reports from the paramedics, [they] have failed to contact me, even though our contact details were taken by the paramedics and the stallholder concerned,” he said.Responding to requests for comment, eThekwini municipal spokesperson Lindiwe Khuzwayo said:"The city manager is awaiting a report on this unfortunate incident from the relevant officials.
