DURBAN - The KwaZulu-Natal division of the Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse said on Friday that it saluted the courage of whistle-blowers at eThekwini metro whose speaking out led to criminal charges being laid against mayor Zandile Gumede.
Tyrell said there was now a "moral imperative" facing the metro's elected councillors, who needed to take a stand on Gumede's leadership. Gumede, senior ANC councillor Mondli Mthembu and businessman Craig Poonan handed themselves over to police on Tuesday morning and were charged for their alleged roles in tender fraud relating to a R208 million Durban Solid Waste contract. The alleged crimes took place in 2016.
According to Tyrrell: "We cannot underscore enough the importance of the bravery of these witnesses. Such acts of selflessness benefit the city residents, and for that we join all law-abiding residents in saluting you."
