Five more arrested in Durban Solid Waste tender scandal, including a senior official

A further five people, including a senior eThekwini Municipality official, are set to appear in court on Friday in connection with the Durban Solid Waste tender corruption case, in which former eThekwini mayor Zandile Gumede is a co-accused.

“It is alleged the municipal official conspired with service providers in 2017 and received illicit benefits in the form of a R1-million vehicle which was reportedly bought for his wife,” he said. “The settlement amount was in the form of another luxury vehicle being traded to cover the costs. It is alleged the purchasing of the said vehicle was a payment in exchange for him to award tenders to the other suspects.”News24 reported in December that 22 people had been arrested up to that point in connection with the Durban Solid Waste tender scandal.

Gumede is accused of using her political status to influence the appointment of senior eThekwini personnel responsible for supply chain management, as well as legal matters and human resources.
