Durban mayor Zandile Gumede has defied instructions by ANC leaders in KwaZulu-Natal to stand down from office, after she was arrested and appeared in court over an allegedly corrupt city waste management tender.

Gumede, the ANC’s eThekwini chairperson, on Sunday refused to sign a letter from the party’s provincial officials instructing her to take a 30-day leave of absence, pending a final decision on her removal from office.

Gumede is a staunch supporter of former president Jacob Zuma, who on Sunday tweeted his support for her. ANC KwaZulu-Natal spokesperson Nomagugu Simelane-Zulu said: “There is no decision as yet. The officials of the province met the officials of the region to receive a report on the matter. There will be a further engagement and the officials will brief the [relevant] structure of the ANC.

“The mayor is still the mayor,” he said. “The ANC will communicate about her deployment should there be anything to communicate.”
