KwaZulu-Natal MEC for Social Development Weziwe Thusi recently opened a R16 million Social Development Service office in Mandeni, a town situated north of Durban.
Mandeni has a population of 138 078 people.
Before the construction of the new office, social workers worked out of park homes without proper sanitation and equipment.
The construction of the project created 30 employment opportunities for local sub-contractors.
