DA welcomes reported arrest of four eThekwini Councillors
11 December 2019
The Democratic Alliance (DA) in eThekwini welcomes the arrest of four further eThekwini Councillors, as announced by the Hawks today.
The four Councillors are alleged to have committed fraud and corruption in connection with the DSW solid waste tender.
62 Councillors were mentioned in court as having worked with former Mayor Zandile Gumede and her co-accused. All 62 remain in Council office and 58 have not yet been arrested.
The eThekwini Speaker, Councillor WeziweThusi, has failed to table any charges against these Councillors and they continue their work. This is despite numerous attempts from the DA to have the matter addressed.
