2018

In December 2018, the Hawks, a South African criminal investigation unit, included Gumede in forensic investigations related to fraud, money laundering and corruption during her tenure, and personal involvement in alleged illegal tender awards, fake employment creation and various other matters.

2019

After nominating Mxolisi Kaunda in August 2019 as Durban's new mayor, the ruling ANC begged Gumede to resign her mayoralty.

On 26 August 2019 it was reported that the ANC had received Gumede's resignation, but two days later Gumede withdrew her resignation.

Her lawyers advised her to withdraw her resignation in the light of the criminal charges she is facing.

On 14 May 2019, Gumede appeared in the Special Commercial Crimes court in Durban for multiple crimes relating to fraud, and was released on R50,000 bail, pending further court appearances.

The ANC Youth League called for Gumede to resign as mayor because the bail conditions imposed by the court would not allow her to execute her mayoral functions, while the ANC Women's League showed support for her to remain in office.

After the arrest of Gumede, the Hawks investigation officer in charge of this case, was ambushed by three gunmen and was lucky to be alive after being injured.

Her term as mayor came to an end when Mxolisi Kaunda was elected as Durban's mayor on 5 September 2019.

However, Gumede was not found there and it was discovered that she had only rented the property and vacated it in July, subsequently changing addresses - a direct violation of her bail conditions.

The Hawks and the NPA then moved to Gumede's home in Inanda where they served her a court order to carry out the raids in relation to a R280 million tender scam within the Durban Solid Waste department.

The raids were intended to seize R51 million in assets, including a number of luxury vehicles, including Porsches, Lamborghinis and Jaguar.

Various homes, belonging to fifteen other co-accused individuals were also targeted during the raids.
