Gumede’s fate among issues to be discussed at ANC's KZN PEC meeting - SABC News - Breaking news, special reports, world, business, sport coverage of all South African current events. Africa's news leader.

Last month, Zandile Gumede appeared in the Durban Commercial Crimes court on fraud and corruption charges.

The fate of eThekwini municipality mayor Zandile Gumede, who is also the African National Congress’ Regional Chairperson, is among the issues expected to be discussed this weekend when the party’s Provincial Executive Council meets at eMpangeni in northern KwaZulu-Natal.She was granted bail of R50 000. Gumede is implicated in a R 208 million 2016 Durban Solid Waste tender.

Dube says, ”I don’t think that unity is going to come soon because the eThekwini region has got about R50 billion budget and so when you look how the ANCYL was supporting mama Zandile Gumede with a hope that she will pay back their loyally to her, hence they were asking for one billion for youth development, when she refused to do that the Youth League threw stones at her.”

Days after Gumede’s court appearance, her supporters marched to the ANC provincial offices. They accused Police Minister Bheki Cele of using his position to settle political scores.“Why is he in such a hurry, who he is he trying to impress. No one knows but his eagerness to see people behind bars without tangible evidence is one of the reasons that gives Zandile Gumede some more power , some more credibility.

The ANC in the province says it will only issue a full statement on the matter after the PEC meeting scheduled for this weekend.

Quantitative easing has been a weapon of choice among policymakers in the developed world to tackle sluggish growth and approaching deflation in a low-interest rate environment. Basically, central banks boost liquidity and the money supply with money straight off the printing press by purchasing assets such as government bonds. In South Africa, a more sensible and straightforward approach, which has the added benefit of wide political and business support, would be to simply begin cutting interest rates.
