No action from ANC on Zandile Gumede: 24 days and counting
7 June 2019
The Democratic Alliance in eThekwini is deeply concerned at the lack of a response from the ANC regarding Zandile Gumede. Despite repeated media reports that action would be taken and she would be fired, the ANC has once again failed the people of eThekwini as Gumede remains in office 24 days after her arrest.
It is abundantly clear that Gumede is unfit to lead eThekwini. Under her failing leadership, eThekwini residents have experienced a sharp decline in service delivery from the municipality. It is also obvious that
Her term in office has been mired by maladministration, corruption, and capture of the city for ANC political purposes.
The investigative report that is the basis for the current prosecution against Gumede goes as far to see that she has attempted to “usurp the function of the City Manager”. This is clear evidence that Gumede is obsessed with interfering in the city’s administration for her own ends.
