The eThekwini Municipality has noted the charges of fraud and corruption levelled against the Mayor, Cllr Zandile Gumede and the Chairperson of the Infrastructure Committee, Cllr Mondli Mthembu this morning at the Durban Commercial Court.
The Municipality abides by the legal principle of innocent until proven otherwise.
More importantly, the Municipality would like to assure residents that, this matter will have no impact on service delivery to communities. Accordingly, there is no reason for residents to panic.
The Municipality will not comment further on the matter as it is now before the courts.
Ends.
