ANC youth region apologises to Gordhan over call on Zuma to fire him
'We accordingly respect the opportunity given to us to be engaged by the ANC on the matter of Cde Pravin Gordhan and therefore regret comments made in this regard'
The eThekwini ANC Youth League has received a tongue-lashing for speaking out of turn about ANC treasurer-general Zweli Mkhize and finance minister Pravin Gordhan. In December last year the ANCYL launched a stinging attack on ANC treasurer-general Zweli Mkhize saying the former provincial chair had no “constituencies” in the province. The league had said Mkhize would not succeed if he campaigned to be deputy president in the upcoming ANC national elective conference in December. Then last week the regional leadership of the Young Lions called for Gordhan to resign and for President Jacob Zuma to axe him over his handling of the SAA affairs as well as the Absa saga.
