Gumede off the hook for now as court clears her of bail conditions breach
13 October 2019
Former eThekwini mayor Zandile Gumede is off the hook, for now.
On Friday, the Durban Specialised Commercial Crimes Court found that Gumede did not deliberately violate her R50 000 bail conditions relating to a tender corruption case.
The Asset Forfeiture Unit and Hawks swooped on Gumede and co-accused's residences on Thursday and seized some of their property. They found Gumede was not at her listed residence.
The court heard it was not Gumede's fault that the investigating officer did not receive her sworn affidavit about her change of address.
