When apartheid ended in South Africa, local government was restructured, leading to the formation of the eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality in 1994. this happened after the first multiracial elections and the first mayor was Sipho Ngwenya.He should have served the normal five year term but only served two. This is because the city was changed to Durban UniCity in July 1996, when Obed Mlaba was appointed mayor. And it was changed again to eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality in 1999. Obed Mlaba was elected mayor again and then re-elected in 2006. Five years later, in 2011, there were local elections and James Nxumalo, a former Speaker of the Council, was elected as the new mayor. In 2016, the new mayor was Zandile Gumede.

The city of Durban is managed by eThekwini Municipality and is made up of elected members who serve to facilitate the provision of infrastructure, services and support for residents. The Council is made up of an elected Mayor, Councillors, executive committee and a number of implementation committees. The City is governed by a 219-member city council which is responsible for electing the Mayor, Deputy Mayor and Speaker.
