Gordhan asks for deadline extension to submit affidavit to Public Protector

PRETORIA - Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan says that he has asked the Public Protector for an extension on the deadline to submit an affidavit related to the so-called rogue unit at the South African Revenue Service .

The minister has until 1pm on Tuesday to file the affidavit with Advocate Busisiwe Mkhwebane’s office. Mkhwebane is investigating allegations of improper and irregular conduct, as well as violations of the executive ethics code following a complaint from the Economic Freedom Fighters' ’s Floyd Shivambu.The minister said that people trying to purge the legacy of state capture from government are faced with a fightback.

"You can't have seven working days to produce an expansive affidavit in response to the questions that were asked, so we've asked for a postponement and I hope we hear today what the result of that is." Mkhwebane has strongly rejected any suggestion that there is anything untoward in pursuing this investigation.

Moyane denied an opportunity to grill GordhanErstwhile Sars commissioner Tom Moyane has been denied leave to cross-examine Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan before the Zondo commission of inquiry into state capture. Good! Moyane and Mpofu merely wanted to use the Commission as a political platform. He must apply to give evidence under oath if he insists that pravin is lying. If others were allowed to cross examined then why not, there’s nothing special about Gordhan, Justice should be for all regardless of post or political affiliations
