8.11 Pietermaritzburg Chamber of Business: Waste management was an unmitigated disaster in the Municipality, as management has yielded its authority to the workers. The airport almost lost its licence, because the Council had prevaricated over the question of who should manage the facility. The Chamber was in support of the intervention continuing, because, if the process was ended prematurely, serious flaws would remain, and it would only be a matter of time before the Municipality found itself in deep distress again.
