Former ANC NEC member Hanekom said singling out Gordhan was uncalled for‚ and asked Mbalula if he was happy with his performance as a former minister

Former ANC national executive committee member Derek Hanekom has criticised ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula for threatening to remove public enterprises minister Pravin Gordhan if he does not fix Transnet quickly.

“I’m going to say to Pravin Gordhan‚ I was with him there‚ I was also a minister of transport: ‘Comrade Pravin‚ move faster or otherwise we will move you.’ We do not want ministers who do not know what they are doing. We do not want premieres who do not know what they are doing. When you are a premier‚ you must be busy like [Gauteng premier] Panyaza [Lesufi]‚” he said.

“When you make a statement like this‚ you need to explain why you are not making a statement on a number of poor performing ministers. Are you satisfied with your own performance when you were a minister?” he asked.
