Former Durban mayor Zandile Gumede will contest the position of chairperson of the eThekwini ANC region at the weekend, but is unlikely to be able to take office should she win the race.
Gumede, the serving regional chairperson, will stand against eThekwini speaker, Thabani Nyawose, as chairperson at the regional conference despite having fallen foul of the party’s step-aside rule over the R400-million Durban Solid Waste corruption case.
