“We welcome the arrest of the gangster mayor of Durban for corruption and money laundering. We were not surprised by the arrest of councillor Zandile Gumede, the mayor of eThekwini. The corruption in Durban had become so brazen, and supported with such brazen thuggery, that eventually the state had to act,” said Abahlali founder and president S’bu Zikode.
“Like many gangster politicians when her arrest finally came it was hidden from the public and the media. It is reported that she and the other accused were able to hand themselves over to the police. It is also reported that she was able to use the back door to enter the court to escape media attention. A poor person arrested for insisting to be treated like a human being will never be treated with these courtesies,” said Zikode.

Why do I get a sense that thus audio was staged to create the 'Zuma type' tape saga? Dicussing timing of arrest etc, sounds familiar.
