During their brief appearance in the Durban Magistrate’s Court, the State handed copies of the indictment to the accused.  

Among Gumede’s co-accused are eThekwini municipal manager Sipho Nzuza and a number of business people.  

The charges emanate from a 2017 Durban Solid Waste tender of over R400-million.

Earlier, scores of supporters, some as far as from the Free State, arrived outside the court ahead of her appearance.  

A group coming from ANC’s Fezile Dabi region says they believe in Gumede’s innocence.  

Outside the court, a marquee and a stage were set up where Gumede was expected to address her supporters after her appearance, as seen in the tweet below:
