 Durban was fast becoming known as a corrupt city, a ratepayers’ association has warned after shocking new details were revealed by the auditor-general on Friday.

 In reaction to the revelation that R785 million in irregular expenditure had been identified, Durban mayor James Nxumalo, through spokesman Thabo Mofokeng, said that the municipality would take action against staff and councillors implicated.

Mofokeng said the report would be referred to relevant committees, including the ethics committee.
