eThekwini councillors are criticising delays and rising costs tied to the GO! Durban project, according to reports. The councillors express frustration as the project continues to run behind schedule and as expenses increase from initial expectations. Their remarks reflect growing concern within the local government about how the project is being managed and the effect of the delays on delivery timelines.
While details on specific contract figures, revised schedules, or technical causes are not provided in the available excerpt, the overall theme across coverage is that the project is “troubled,” with persistent implementation problems. The councillors’ criticism centres on accountability for time overruns and cost escalation, as well as the impact on residents and municipal planning.
The reported reaction highlights a governance dispute over whether the project’s procurement and execution are keeping pace with stated objectives, and it places further pressure on officials involved in overseeing the initiative.
