Some leaders are hiding behind ‘unity’ to protect their political careers, says Gordhan
Talks of unity among some ANC leaders leading up to the ANC December elective congress are attempts to serve individualistic political interests. These are the views of former finance minister Pravin Gordhan‚ who said on Saturday some leaders were hiding behind ‘unity’ to protect their political careers. Gordhan was delivering an address at Ahmed Kathrada lecture hosted by the Ahmed Kathrada Foundation at Wits University. "These talks about unity mask political interests. Some people see that they will not make it come December‚ so they preach unity so that whatever side wins they can be secure‚" Gordhan said.
