Mayor Ndevu said the recognition also brings an increased responsibility to maintain the standards that earned the municipality the accolades.
“As the municipality celebrates these achievements, the recognition also places greater responsibility on us as the political leadership and administration to maintain the standards that have earned this acknowledgement and to continue putting the interests and development of Umzimvubu communities first,” said Ndevu.
