EThekwini Municipality Adamant On Preventing Jacob Zuma From Dropping His Album

EThekwini mayor Zandile Gumede stated during a meeting with executive committee of eThekwini Municipality that the collaboration of former president Jacob Zuma with the municipality was just a hearsay and has never been formally presented to them.

Gumede said she had learned about the so called album via the media but that proper protocols had not been followed with regard to a request for such a deal.

“Nobody has informed us about this project. Under normal circumstances, politicians make political announcements. As an ANC-deployed mayor I would have briefed the ANC caucus first before making such an announcement. The protocol was not followed and we are prepared to speak about the items once we get a full briefing.

“As things stand, there is no such [thing]. Only the city manager and myself will speak to the public with authority about this matter,” Gumede said.
