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, the National Prosecuting Authority has said.

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.

Wow , when did they come to realize that they needed legal representation. I can't to see and read the unfolding of this. Besides Mr and Mrs Nzuza live in a very pricey Estate , so it is impossible to not afford Legal Representation. Really this is a mockery of the courts. Parties are expensive but are affordable.

AGE OF ACCOUNTABILITY: ‘They have no case’, says Zandile Gumede before her corruption trial beginsZandile 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 Durban Solid Waste contract. 🤬🤬 The best thing for Zandile Gumede is to go to Court and proof to the magistrate or the judge that there is no case against her. Comments in the media will definitely not assist Revolting
