DURBAN - THE BANKRUPT Msunduzi Municipality in Pietermaritzburg has been threatened with legal action if it ever succumbs to a request for R48 million funding for the next three years by the financially troubled Maritzburg United football club.
According to Msunduzi Mayor Mzimkhulu Thobela, the Premier Soccer League team had in October last year written to the municipality requesting funding of R15 million, the money that the home of KwaZulu-Natalâs capital city does not have.
But Maritzburg United chairperson Farook Kadodia said the team had actually written to the city requesting a total of R48 million for the next three years.

A clinical programme will enrol 400 people in South Africa for treatment with a three-drug, six-month, all-oral regimen of bedaquiline, pretomanid and linezolid, known as the BPaL regimen, that has been shown to demonstrate a favourable outcome in 90% of patients of highly drug-resistant forms of TB.
