# The Durban High Court ordered eThekwini Municipality in Kwa-Zulu Natal to set aside three manager appointments after a tainted selection process. The DA challenged the appointments, accusing the municipality of rushing the process and bypassing legislation. Bhekinkosi Mkhize was hired as director for Safety despite lacking the law degree, holding only an honours degree in Arts. Ednick Msweli became director for technical services despite an Auditor-General finding over pollution in eThekwini water systems. The court found irregularities and declared the appointments unlawful.
