ANC Bigwig Accused of ‘Stealing’ R320-million CRIES in Court

In a dramatic turn of events at the eThekwini High Court today, former eThekwini mayor Zandile Gumede found herself in tears as her highly publicized trial faced yet another adjournment, rescheduled for Tuesday.

Gumede, alongside 21 co-accused, is entangled in a web of corruption, fraud, theft, money laundering, and racketeering charges, amounting to a staggering R320 million allegedly linked to irregularities within the Durban Solid Waste department.

“God, I’d rather die,” Gumede was heard saying before into tears.

The emotional outburst from Gumede reflects the frustration over the persistent delays in her case.

 

The charges against her and her co-accused stem from a contentious Durban Solid Waste tender in 2016, making it a focal point in the legal proceedings.

Despite being implicated as a central figure in corruption cases involving substantial amounts of money, Gumede vehemently maintains her innocence.

The prolonged legal battle has not only cast a shadow over her political career but has also had a significant impact on her standing within the African National Congress (ANC).

In adherence to the party’s rule introduced in 2021, she was among the first ANC leaders to voluntarily step aside due to the severity of the charges.

The adjournment adds another layer of uncertainty to Gumede’s political future, amplifying the challenges she faces in navigating the legal landscape while striving to prove her innocence.

As the trial unfolds, it continues to captivate public attention, underscoring the broader implications for both Gumede and the political landscape in eThekwini.
