On Wednesday an attempt by the KwaZulu-Natal provincial ANC to convince the region’s 110 branches to accept its resolutions, which forced Zandile Gumede to take 30 days leave while they consider her matter, failed.
Embattled eThekwini mayor Zandile Gumede’s supporters have revolted against the ANC’s decision to place her on enforced leave.
According to a briefing note circulated among the branches — the leaders of which attended the meeting with ANC provincial secretary Mdumiseni Ntuli and provincial executive council members Sipho Hlomuka, Kwazi Mshengu, who is the regional task team convener, and regional secretary Bheki Ntuli — rejected “most, if not all of the decisions imposed on eThekwini branches by the ANC PEC”.
They questioned the appointment of Mluleki Ndobe, the former Harry Gwala district mayor, to the task team on the grounds that he had been arrested for the murder of Umzimkhulu councillor Sindiso Magaqa. Charges were provisionally withdrawn against Ndobe and Umzimkhulu municipal manager Zweliphansi Skhosana.
