The trial of former eThekwini mayor Zandile Gumede and 21 others, charged with racketeering, fraud and corruption relating to R320m spent by the city on the “illegal” Durban Solid Waste contract, is scheduled to begin on Monday in the Durban high court,...

As a kicker, it details the constitution and provisions of the Municipal Finance Management Act on “irregular spending” and the bars on mayors and councillors from interfering with supply chain management systems and influencing officials.

In essence, the state alleges that the city, in seeking to award a new DSW contract, classified it as a “special project”. Nzuza then appointed Ngcobo as chairperson of the BAC to ensure the appointment of the four preferred service providers who were handpicked by ANC cadres, councillors Mthokozisi Nojiyeza, Sdudozo Khuzwayo and Bhekokwakhe Phewa, believed to be part of the ANC’s so-called RET faction.

Money was also paid to the Zandile Gumede Foundation, and R100,000 into the bank account of the ANC eThekwini region.

Gumede is screwed. Ace was clever - a cash man. Will be hard to pin him. PresJGZuma will die or be eligible for medical parole before he's convicted of a serious crime. But Gumede's guilty as a puppy sat by a pile of poo, and young enough to rot in prison for 15 years. MYANC
