The ANC in KwaZulu-Natal has confirmed that eThekwini mayor Zandile Gumede has been recalled and would be redeployed.
The ANC’s Provincial Executive Committee (PEC) also resolved that Msunduzi Mayor Themba Njilo be asked to step down.
It forms part of a series of sweeping leadership changes in KZN adopted at the party’s two-day PEC meeting in Durban.
ANC provincial secretary Mdumiseni Ntulialso announced that the executives of both the eThekwini and Msunduzi municipalities would be redeployed.
“All ANC members who are serving as exco members of eThekwini and Msunduzi local municipalities respectively should, with immediate effect, be redeployed. The PEC mandated the provincial working committee, working through the officials, to ensure that all working vacancies occasioned by this decision are filled.”
Ntuli said Gumede would be replaced within the next seven days.
