Evidence given of discrepancies in waste collection audit in DSW matter
Daily News
|August 21, 2025
DURING proceedings at the Durban High Court yesterday, it emerged that the number of houses requiring waste collection in December 2017 had doubled. Furthermore, the audit report supporting this figure may have been inaccurate.
The Durban Solid Waste (DSW) tender fraud case involves former eThekwini Municipality mayor Zandile Gumede, who is one of the 21 accused. They face multiple charges, including fraud, racketeering, corruption, money laundering, and violations of the Municipal Finance Management Act and the Municipal Systems Act, all related to the R320-million DSW tender.
A state witness, who worked at the solid waste unit in 2017, compared the number of households requiring waste services as reflected in the closed tender drafted in December 2017 with the number indicated in the audit report.
