JOHANNESBURG – The African National Congress in KwaZulu-Natal said on Friday the future of embattled eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Zandile Gumede was a matter that still needed to be disc
ussed before the party makes a final decision.
The charges were in relation to a 2016 Durban Solid Waste removal tender which reportedly costed the City over R200 million for services not rendered. “Comrade Zandile Gumede is a mayor of a region, the region is the one that made the recommendation for her to be the mayor. In terms of our processes, they have to provide a report to the PEC [provincial executive committee] or the officials of the province, and then they will be engagement between the region and the province on how to proceed forward,” she said.
The group of about 100 marched through the streets of Durban and asked the beleaguered mayor to deliver on a promise she allegedly made to workers from the Expanded Public Works Programme in 2017.
