City told to rehire fired investigator
Daily News
|August 20, 2025
THE Labour Court ordered that the eThekwini Municipality reinstate an investigator belonging to its investigations unit, City Integrity and Investigations (CIIU), after the entity dismissed him in December 2024.
The basis of municipality's move to dismiss the investigator was due to alleged misconduct connected to a forensic company, contracted by CIIU to investigate a corruption matter that has former Mayor Zandile Gumede as the kingpin and currently playing out in the Durban High Court.
The investigator cannot be named as he is a State witness in Durban Solid Waste R 320 million fraud trial. The media is prohibited from naming State witnesses in Gumede's trial.
The investigator sought several forms of relief, including the declaration that all decisions from the unauthorised disciplinary process by the municipality be rendered invalid, reinstatement to his previous position, and compensation for legal expenses.
