Zandile Gumede, the criminally charged former mayor of eThekwini, on Sunday, 17 July, said she remained ‘confident’ ahead of her fraud, corruption and money laundering trial relating to R320-million allegedly syphoned over 18 months via the renewal of a...

“They have no case against me, I was not an executive mayor, I did not deal with supply chain. The issue is with [the city’s] administration and contractors, not with politicians,” Zandile Gumede told Daily Maverick.

Gumede, accused number one, is named as being among the main role players in the state’s indictment. She enters the trial with strong political backing, reaffirmed since she was re-elected as the ANC’s eThekwini region chairperson in April. Gumede has relinquished that position, due to the governing party’s step-aside rule, but contentiously remains a sitting member of the KwaZulu-Natal legislature.

The trial starts on the heels of the ANC’s KwaZulu-Natal elective conference over the weekend, where Gumede was again added to various slates as a contender for the party’s top six provincial leadership positions. He said the step-aside resolution was an amendment made and enforced by the NEC when it did not have the authority to do so. “If there is a problem with a particular resolution, it must be taken to conference,” he said. It could not be changed “willy-nilly”.
