Zandile Gumede voted in as ANC's eThekwini regional chairperson

The ANC regional conference has elected Zandile Gumede as the eThekwini regional chairperson.

Gumede's slate took a clean sweep of all positions of the ANC's biggest region in the country:

• Gumede, regional chairperson;
• Thembo Ntuli, deputy chairperson;
• Musa Nciki, regional secretary;
• Nkosenhle Madlala, secretary; and
• Zoe Shabalala, treasurer.

Gumede, a former eThekwini mayor, is standing trial in Durban's high court alongside 21 others accused of fraud, corruption and racketeering.

Gumede faces more than 2,000 charges related to a R320m solid waste project.

A fortnight ago, TimesLIVE reported that Gumede's supporters were saying she would land the post.
