Zandile Gumede, embattled former eThekwini mayor has been appointed and sworn in at the KwaZulu-Natal legislature, as KZN MPL.
Gumede still faces a criminal charge for fraud and corruption and was forced to step down from the mayorship.
She is expected to come before the court by next month.
Apparently, she has taken the MPL position from late MPL Ricardo Mthembu, who succumbed to COVID-19 in June.
