As eThekwini mayor Zandile Gumede and her co-accused left the regional commercial crimes court in Durban on Tuesday morning, a group of supporters created a human shield of sorts as journalists and photographers tried to capture the moment.
The moment had been a long time coming for the embattled mayor and senior municipal councillor Mondli Mthembu, who handed themselves over to the Hawks on Tuesday morning. The pair were granted bail of R50 000 each.After months of investigations, a senior law enforcement official told City Press on Monday evening: “It is finally happening. I am told that they are bringing a big team of heavy-hitting lawyers. It had all been planned to happen quietly without the knowledge of the media.
The ANC in the eThekwini region affirmed their faith in the justice system and that they “subscribe to the principle of innocence until proven otherwise”.
