The DA tabled a motion in the KZN legislature last week calling on Dube-Ncube to assure the people of the province that she would not be allowed to used public money to fund private court battles.
KwaZulu-Natal MEC Nomusa Dube-Ncube has been told to fight her personal battles using her personal funds.The DA in KwaZulu-Natal has called on provincial co-operative governance and traditional affairs MEC Nomusa Dube-Ncube to pay her own legal costs in her R1.5m lawsuit against the DA's provincial leader and premier candidate, Zwakele Mncwango.
"However, the DA regards this litigation exercise as purely in the MEC's own personal interests and not in the public interest. She must therefore use her own privately accumulated wealth - and not that of the people of KZN - for this lawsuit. Nor should she be permitted to use funds from within her department while KZN's municipalities are collapsing all around her," said Gumbi.
In a letter to KZN premier Willies Mchunu, signed by Mncwango, the DA alleged that Dube-Ncube awarded Brand Partners a communications tender at the Nkandla municipality in December 2017 worth more than R7.5m, and called for her immediate suspension.
