The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa provides that public administration must be governed by democratic values and principles, including the promotion and maintenance of a high standard of professional ethics. This provision applies to all levels of government, including municipalities. It was in this spirit that the eThekwini Council resolved to establish the City Integrity and Investigations.
