The minister lashed out at DA MP Mimmy Gondwe after she objected to him using public funds to put the parliamentary report on the controversial SAA deal on review.
Public enterprises minister Pravin Gordhan had harsh words for Democratic Alliance MP Mimmy Gondwe this week over a parliamentary report on the now-terminated deal to sell a 51% stake in South African Airways for R51., Gordhan told Gondwe that he would have the report reviewed and described her behaviour as undignified.
“It is my legal right to take the report on review if I am advised that there is a legal basis for that. No one, including you, will threaten me not to exercise my legal rights to take the report on review.” Gondwe retaliated, accusing the minister of belittling her and her agency as a public representative.
The minister accused Magaxa of “playing to the public gallery” and “politicising a parliamentary process that is supposed to be free of any influence”.
