Water and sanitation minister Senzo Mchunu has instructed the Umgeni Water Board and the Umgungundlovu district municipality to negotiate with Eskom to exempt large water pump stations from load-shedding during off-peak hours to ensure water reliability in KwaZulu-Natal.
Private security experts and investigators say it took them hours to successfully negotiate the release of four people who were kidnapped in Kranskop in KZN Midlands last week.
