Zandile Gumede's lawyer has told a senior eThekwini Durban Solid Waste (DSW) official he perpetuated racketeering contracts allegedly initiated by some of the main accused in the criminal trial.
On Tuesday, advocate Jay Naidoo for Gumede engaged in his second day of cross-examining the senior official – who was in a key leadership position in the city during some of the alleged crimes – in the KwaZulu-Natal High Court in Durban.
The senior official maintained he had to sign off on the contracts because the city was facing national elections and the busy period between December 2018 and July 2019.
