EThekwini mayor, Mxolisi Kaunda, has narrowly survived a motion of no confidence against him.

Of the 209 councillors present at a council meeting in Durban, 109 opposed the motion, two abstained and 98 supported it.

The IFP filed the motion in November last year, supported by the DA  citing service delivery issues and damning findings by the auditor-general, among other reasons.

Kaunda says his focus remains on delivering services to residents especially tackling the current water challenges.
