Where is Zandile Gumede and why isn't she attending council meetings?

[Solarion]

Durban - Opposition parties have taken issue with the continued absence of former eThekwini mayor Zandile Gumede from council activities, saying it was unfair for ratepayers to continue paying a salary to a councillor who was no longer performing her duties.
Gumede, who is now a PR councillor in the municipality, was absent for the last council meeting of the year held at the ICC yesterday, and the opposition parties claimed that she had not attended council meetings since September.

DA chief whip Thabani Mthethwa said: “At today’s final eThekwini Council meeting for 2019, former mayor Zandile Gumede, who remains an ordinary member of the council, is again absent. Gumede has not attended a meeting of council since the beginning of September, when she arrived late to elect her successor, Mxolisi Kaunda.

“Our research also indicates that Gumede is not a member of any council committee and as such is not attending any other committee meetings. She continues to earn a salary from the municipal coffers despite not doing any work as a councillor and facing serious criminal charges.

Maybe she doesn't have money to get to work after being fired as mayor. That excuse worked when a SAA boss used it.

It’s not the ANC way. What we can expect in the next year or two is the declaration of a massive amnesty because to be honest, there isn’t a jail big enough to hold all the criminals the ANC has amongst its ranks.
