Zandile Gumede, former eThekwini major will have to step down from her position as KZN MPL. This happened after ANC in KwaZulu-Natal decided to reverse its initial decision to appoint her to the province's legislature. On Friday, there was a meeting between provincial executive committee and Gumede following a public exclamation after ANC assigned Gumede to the legislature while she was still facing charges connected to fraud and corruption. However, the ANC said: "This is in line with the ANC's Nasrec resolution on dealing with corruption." A part in the resolution from Nasrec mentioned that the ANC should disassociate itself from anyone, be it -
  • business donor,
  • supporter or member, that is accused of corruption or reported to be involved in corruption
The disassociation must be made a public notice, according to Nasrec.
