'The truth shall be revealed' - Zandile Gumede after appearing for corruption
8 August 2019
Embattled eThekwini Mayor Zandile Gumede said the truth would be revealed about the corruption-related charges against her in the Durban Commercial Crimes Court.
"What I will say is that the truth shall be revealed. We would never allow the eThekwini metro to fall into the wrong hands. That [is] why as branches, we need to be strong to ensure that our metro remains strong because there are people who are eyeing it," she said outside the court on Thursday.
Gumede and her co-accused appeared in a packed courtroom where there was a barrage of security officials and supporters.
She was arrested earlier this year on charges of fraud and corruption.
