WATCH | Chaos after eThekwini mayor granted R50,000 bail for graft charges

SA Police Services in Durban prevented the media from photographing eThekwini mayor Zandile Gumede at the Durban Commercial Crimes Court on May 14 2019.

Earlier, Gumede, dressed in red, made a short appearance before magistrate Dawn Somaroo together with her co-accused: regional deputy secretary and senior municipal councillor Mondli Mthembu, and service provider Craig Ponan. Somaroo raised concerns over the integrity of the probe and the protection of witnesses since Gumede will not be suspended as mayor.

After the hearing, Gumede's supporters used jackets and bags to prevent photographers who were waiting at the court entrance from doing their work. There was an exchange of words between media and supporters, forcing police to intervene.
