Ntuli's public address happened in the Umdoni Local Municipality during the commemoration of the International Day of Older Persons.

He highlighted the need for collaborative action to foster a safer and more transparent province.

“We must work together to fix our province. To fix those challenges that were faced with as a country,’ Ntuli said.

Using the Government of Provincial Unity (GPU) as an example, Ntuli said that although the province had a GPU, the government was not only formed by the GPU, but also the opposition parties that are a part of the government.
