OUTA threatens legal action if eThekwini does not act against mayor Gumede

Durban – The Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse said on Tuesday that it would take legal action against eThekwini Municipality if it did not act against its graft accused mayor, Zandile Gumede.

He said OUTA had written to the city’s executive committee members on July 1 and told them that their inaction on Gumede would amount to “a dereliction of duty” and that OUTA reserved its rights in order to ensure that the interests of the community prevailed. Gumede, Mthembu and businessman Craig Poonan were charged in mid-May for their alleged roles in a fraudulent R208 million Durban Solid Waste tender dating back to 2016. They are currently out on R50 000 bail each.

Tyrrell said OUTA had found at least four instances of a possible breach of the councillors’ code of conduct by Gumede and Mthembu.
