One of five accused charged with killing ANC eThekwini municipality councillor candidate Siyabonga Mkhize in October last year has parted ways with his legal counsel.
The ANC in eThekwini has recalled a member of the executive committee, councillor Thanduxolo Sabelo, from his duties. In line with the directive of the party, Sabelo tendered his resignation on Thursday.
This could be a signal of how some of KwaZulu-Natal s 10 other regions are likely to go, with the province expected to pronounce on the way forward in the coming days.
The trial against former eThekwini mayor Zandile Gumede and 21 others, charged with racketeering, fraud and corruption relating to R320m spent by the city on an “illegal” Durban Solid Waste contract, is going nowhere fast.
