Former Ethekwini Mayor Zandile Gumede.

During her trial together with the 20 other accused, Gumede’s lawyer advocate Jay Naidoo told the court that they want an interim forensic report that formed the basis for criminal charges against the accused. Gumede, former municipal manager Sipho Nzuza and some former senior municipal employees are alleged to have manipulated tender processes in favour of companies preferred by Gumede., Mbuso Ngcobo. He questioned how the eThekwini’s Integrity and Investigative Unit managed to process the complaint from anonymous and conduct investigation within 24 hours.

MorningLiveSABC Corruption never stops . 7 days a week. Let me Guess , corruption on Christmas day. Just give it a break . Nobody wants to invest in South Africa.

Our human values, our sense of what is good or bad, right or wrong, must have evolved in simpler times, before there was Zandile Gumede, social media and smart phones.

Another blessed feature. l am so proud of myself for this moment. A huge appreciation to Brandonkaren11 for helping me through Bitcoin mining investment !!
