Gumede is expected to be handing herself over to the Hawks, following which she will be appearing in court on a string of corruption-related charges.
City Press understands that Gumede will be appearing alongside senior municipal councillor Mondli Mthembu on charges including money laundering, corruption and racketeering. “She will then apply for bail which the state is not intending to oppose,” said a senior law enforcement official privy to the details.
Another senior law enforcement official told City Press this evening: “It is finally happening. I am told that they are bringing a big team of heavy-hitting lawyers. It had all been planned to happen quietly without the knowledge of the media.” City Press has learnt that a task team has been formed to investigate scores of other ward councillors in the city, and is expected to conclude several corruption related cases against them.In December, City Press reported that Gumede, a staunch ally of former president Jacob Zuma, faced imminent arrest after a lengthy Hawks investigation into allegations of fraud, money laundering and corruption. This followed the arrest of three municipal officials on charges of fraud and theft.
Kunzima R50k bail back to the office so no suspension until the case is over. Ethics?
Yeah, New Dawn in action 👊...sibopha amasela ngoku😂😂. 👇🏿
