Due to the recent changes to the ward boundaries ahead of the 2011 Municipal Elections by the Municipal Demarcation Board, the Democratic Alliance has deployed Councillor Rick Crouch to better serve the residents and rate payers of Ward 8 in eThekwini.

The new voting districts for Ward 8 are Hillcrest High School, Botha’s Hill Tourism Office, Hlahlindela High School, Ndlokolo Primary School, Apostolic Church, Inhlangano Senior Primary School, Khanyakhwezi School, Umgeni School, Khabazela Secondary School, Phoshane School and Christian Fellowship School.

“Although I represent the DA in the city council, I am here to assist people of all political persuasions, no matter which political party they support. If the residents are not sure if you fall into the boundaries of the new Ward 8 they can give me a call and if they don’t I will direct them to the DA Councillor in their Ward” said Cllr Rick Crouch.
