The high-profile corruption case of former eThekwini mayor Zandile Gumede and several co-accused is back before the Durban Commercial Crimes Court on Thursday.
Gumede and her co-accused, who are out on bail of various amounts, stand accused of alleged corruption over a 2017 Durban Solid Waste tender. It is alleged they pocketed kickbacks, amongst other accusations.
The Hawks initially placed the value of the alleged tender fraud at R208 million, but the tally has since ballooned to R389 million. “I have no idea what will happen in court and I will only be able to speak to my lawyer when we meet in court tomorrow morning,” Gumede said.
