DURBAN – Former eThekwini Mayor Zandile Gumede could face more problems.
Gumede and his supporters allegedly contravened an ANC ruling during their appearance before the Durban Commercial Crimes Court last week.

The party’s provincial committee accuses Gumede of failing to convict his supporters outside of court.
ANC KZN Secretary Mdumiseni Ntuli said they went to court without a mandate from the ANC.

“When they come to court, they carry placards and do things that undermine the position of the African National Congress,” Ntuli said.
“We condemn that in the strongest terms and it is a matter that we are going to discuss with Comrade Zandile.
“Some of these people who are doing bad things were repudiated by Comrade Zandile, she told us,” These are not my supporters, “but what happened in court is that she went out and addressed those people,” Ntuli said.

When she addressed these people, she did not say: “I appreciate your support during the difficulties I face, but I condemn your conduct that sows divisions in the African National Congress” and we will have to involve her in that as leadership of the ANC.
“We cannot allow people who have a license to undermine the authority of the organization and go even further to act in a way that seeks to implant divisions in the African National Congress.”
