Gordhan asks for extension in PP's 'rogue unit' investigation
Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan says the seven days deadline set by Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane for him to submit an affidavit is not enough and has asked for an extension. Mkhwebane is currently investigating a complaint laid by EFF deputy president Floyd Shivambu regarding the "rogue unit" that allegedly operated at Sars while Gordhan headed the revenue service.
"My legal team is dealing with that matter, the issue is you cannot have seven working days to deal with an extensive matter. We have asked for a postponement and I hope that we can get an answer on that," said Gordhan in an interview on Radio 702. He said there seemed to be a group of individuals hellbent on fighting against his and others' efforts to fight state capture.
