That is why they had to be arrested, to force them to stop interfering with city officials who could be potential witnesses against them.
Gumede has now been warned, by the court as per her bail conditions, to stay away from the city’s supply chain management officials, as well as others in the city’s human resources department, and its legal and finance offices.The drastic bail conditions, which severely limits her power, were placed on her by the Durban Commercial Crimes Court on Tuesday morning when Gumede, Mthembu, and businessman Craig Ponnen appeared in court facing a slew of corruption-related charges.
The charge sheet states that Gumede and Mthembu allegedly turned the screws on their officials to break the law. Lucken told the court that Gumede, with the assistance of one of the accused, awarded contracts to four service providers without going to tender after allowing the previous contracts to expire to create grounds for emergency procurement.
Mthembu is not the Speaker. He is Chair of the Human Settlements and Infrastructure Committee. Cllr William Mapena is the Speaker.
