Supporters of the axed eThekwini Mayor - Zandile Gumede say the decision by the KwaZulu-Natal ANC Provincial Executive Committee (PEC) to recall Gumede without clear terms of reference in terms of what they are looking for, shows that the former mayor is being persecuted. Their comments, came after the PEC took a decision to recall Gumede and the rest of the Durban metro's executive committee, citing concerns about a lack of service delivery.
