The two, both facing charges of corruption, have been asked to appear before the ANC's provincial integrity commissionZandile Gumede outside the Durban magistrate's court during an appearance last year. On Friday she was asked to step aside from her legislature and organisational responsibilities ahead of her appearance before the ANC's provincial integrity committee.
The ANC in the province finally bowed to pressure after an outcry within and outside the party after the appointment of Gumede as a member of the provincial legislature. Provincial chair Sihle Zikalala told reporters on Friday that the party was not backtracking on Gumede when they appointed her to the legislature after removing her as mayor. He said they were merely enforcing a decision to deploy Gumede to the legislature that was taken last year.“Politically there was a decision taken, which national officials knew about, and it was implemented. Society reacted and the ANC listened.
