Reacting to the news‚ the DA said it was “disgusted by the ANC’s move to elect Gumede to a cushy seat”.
“As such‚ there is nothing untoward about the appointment of Gumede. As a firm believer in women empowerment‚ the ANC KZN is confident that Gumede‚ with her experience‚ is a worthwhile addition to the legislature.”
“This move is a slap in the face of every eThekwini resident‚ and indeed of every resident of KZN‚ who now has to foot the bill for Gumede’s lifestyle‚” said DA councillor Nicole Graham in a statement.“It is not surprising that the ANC has elevated Gumede from a PR councillor status to being and MPL while still embroiled in corruption allegations of squandering more than a quarter of a billion‚” said the party.
“The ANC has proven yet again that it has no ethics and morals‚ and that it is an organisation that values thuggery and thievery by awarding those who are always at the wrong side of the law with a token of appreciation for a job 'well done'.” Many on social media‚ including The People's Dialogue founder Herman Mashaba‚ weighed in on the news. Here is a snapshot of what they had to say:For South Africa to move forward, we need the right people with the right experience in the right positions.— Herman Mashaba
