The eThekwini Municipality allocates R15 million over three years to hire the Durban International Convention Centre (ICC), according to reporting by IOL. The spending is linked to ongoing repairs at Durban City Hall, which is expected to affect the venue available for municipal events.
The articles describe the ICC hire as a temporary measure while refurbishment work at City Hall continues. While all sources focus on the same programme and total budget figure, they present it in the context of how the repairs slow or delay normal use of the City Hall. The reporting characterizes the expenditure as contract-based spending for accommodation of municipal activities rather than a one-off cost.
No further details are provided in the supplied extracts about the contract scope, scheduling, or whether the R15 million includes specific operational costs such as staffing, equipment, or event production. The emphasis across outlets remains on the amount, the three-year timeline, and the reason for using the ICC.
