LETTER: Don’t make Gordhan the scapegoat for daring to fight
Pravin Gordhan’s crime is being in the forefront of fighting state capture; why are his ANC comrades hanging him out to dry?
Over the past few days the media has been dominated by headlines along the lines that Pravin Gordhan “failed to produce evidence on state capture”. Some commentators have even suggested that the commission is a farce and Gordhan should be “reshuffled”. Apparently he accused Tom Moyane of “conspiring with the Hawks every day” but could not produce “evidence” when pressed to do so.
But what did advocate Dali Mpofu actually achieve at the Zondo commission? What are the facts? When Gordhan said Moyane was aiding state capture and “conspiring with the Hawks every day”, surely any right-thinking person knows he didn’t mean that he spends seven days a week doing so?..
