The National Prosecuting Authority’s case against former eThekwini mayor Zandile Gumede and her co-accused, in a R320-million cash extraction scheme from the city’s solid waste department (DSW) will show that the desired outcome was the self-enrichment ...

Siramen said: “[Gumede] along with [Mthembu] determined the objectives, the structure, the operational dynamics and the beneficiaries of the actions of the enterprise.

Siramen said then municipal manager, Sipho Nzuzua, had “contravened the statutory provisions, regulations, policies and prescripts that govern the functions and duties of accounting officers of municipalities so that he could align his actions to the objectives” of Gumede and Mthembu. She said DSW employees known as Area Cleansing Managers would testify that the newly appointed service providers would inform them that they had been appointed, with no formal notification coming from upper management. The contracts awarded to the service providers were deliberately inflated, according to the state.

“[Gumede said] that the time for radical economic transformation, now referred to as RET, had arrived and that [Mthembu] would elaborate on how the RET programme would be implemented in eThekwini.” “The councillors will further testify that each ward councillor was to appoint between four to five CBCs, of which one could be used as a vehicle through which the respective ward councillors could benefit from the payments.”

“The councillors of other political parties were excluded from participating in this RET programme that accused one and two created in relation to the DSW contract,” said Siramen.

Is the ANC an accused in the matter? 'The ANC eThekwini region is alleged to have received a donation of R100,000 from three of Gumede’s co-accused'.

The extraction scheme of this CriminalANCNetwork headed by ZandileGumede, exposes once again, how these ANCCriminalSyndicates work, 'earning' these CrookedComrades MILLIONS, while ordinary SAfns go without services!!
