R320m corruption case against former eThekwini mayor Zandile Gumede to resume in Durban

Former eThekwini mayor Zandile Gumede is expected back in court on Tuesday. She and 21 others are charged in a R320m corruption case.

The trial of former eThekwini mayor Zandile Gumede and her 17 co-accused will resume in court on Tuesday.

Gumede and her co-accused, who include former eThekwini municipal manager Sipho Nzuza and former chairperson of the infrastructure committee Mondli Mthembu, will appear in court on a variety of charges related to a Durban Solid Waste tender that was allegedly awarded irregularly to four companies in 2016, shortly after Gumede took office as mayor.

Gumede has been accused with, among other things, violating the Municipal Finance Management Act.

Supporters of the previous mayor have promised to appear in court.
