Is she still trying to be relevant? We know your true colors madam!

.

But why are you telling us when you don't with other Ministers? He is a minister like any other, not some president or deputy president. Stop it

He must go and account his sins. People are subpoena daily with other ministers, y does he wants everyone to know? He is not above the law,

Pravin should subject himself to the office of the public protector ,so that he can account as he has been calling others to do so.

Pillay... Just like Brain, must be ordered to pay back the money

Where the frick is Ramaphosa!! Stop wasting our taxes on this shit!

No one is above the law. If Gordhan Mr Gordhan is subpoenaed he must cooperate. However we also aware of a plot by a certain cabal led by a particular leader that Pravin has blocked from looting the SOE’s. Hence the unwarranted attacks on his personae

Pravin thinks he's untouchable..... Julius_S_Malema is right. Pravin must go and answer. He's JacobZuma2 he's doing exactly what Zuma was going. Pravin will go there and refuse to answer questions just like Zuma.

He must hurry there and stop thinking he is better than everyone..nxa

AdvBMkhwebane I dont trust her or her motives. Also not sure she has the qualifications to do this job. Remember, she is probably a Zuma lap dog. MmusiMaimane Our_DA Natasha9Mazzone

... and the lying story?

Why won't PP Mkhwebane sit down already.... Why the subpoena on Pravin just days before he testify before Zondo.... Stupido as nauseum

Pravin is regretting calling for commission. He MUST go and answer unless of course you people want to match to the PP's office, shut down the country on the day.

This matter was dealt with, there was a legal opinion from SARS about legality of this payout the NPA dropped the charges because it was a legal payout.....how can we spend so much energy chasing R1 Million payout with millions being looted daily

Strange. An NPA hellbent on prosecuting him had to throw in the towel after being pointed to the relevant legislation that sanctioned it. Did she miss that?

This issue has been dealt with in the past. Lets move on mrs public “prospector”

Again

Since when is the subpoena by the Office of the PublicProtector is regarded as the abuse of power?

And she tries again

Did this Lady subpoena Ace and the Gupta's, agg maan she is useless. She is pushing Zupta agenda it won't work.

When pp was dealing with MG some happy now it's PG now some are using camps card. Sebenza girl

U did not hv question to Thuli bout Zuma now u hv few questions to PP waw

Why the misuse of power when it's him, as the self proclaimed saint he's got nothing to hide

From vbs to pravin waw S.A is lit

Pravin needs to understand that he’s not above the law. He moans every time he’s asked to appear in front of authorities. What is he afraid of?

Good he is no angel that he would like all of us believe he is. An insult to our intelligence and humanity which he is also

Time for us to ask the Public Protector a few questions starting with why her office is not focussing on things like VBS, looting at Eskom and looting at SAA?

Has PublicProtector been captured by Organized Crime ?

This is what you get when you hijack funerals and turn them into gossip sessions,what Praffin and his cronies did during Kathrada,s funeral was disgusting

Yawn.

When wil PP appears before the public. We have a few questions

He must answer; his corrupt to the core

You sir aren’t beyond reproach. Like the President said, anyone called should appear before the commission. If there’s nothing to hide, why worry yourself?

So it was first bcoz of Zuma, now its a misuse of power. Plainly this guy doesn't like being called in to answer or give clarification. He is not the only one in this MYANC led government.

. It pouring for perceived good samaritan Pravin Gordham even rain coat can't stand it!

Mathata a Pravin a magolo yanong

She is in the Zuma camp. Clearly she has no current uegent matters to attend to.

Gordhan: 'The public and the world need to know what went wrong under Zuma'Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan says he’s glad he’s had the chance to tell the country and the world about the corruption and state capture that occurred under Jacob Zuma’s presidency. The whole problem is every 6 months there is a newer and bigger story to follow and old old stories get swept under the rug - Why does Government not just work to make South Africa Great again and forget all the BS. It's funny all those who were there don't want to be responsible. As if JZ did all those decisions by himself...

Gordhan smells state capture rat as public protector launches new probePublic enterprises minister Pravin Gordhan is under investigation again - this time by public protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane, who has hauled out claims dating back to 2010. And obviously none of this is linked to the fact he is about to nail the zuma/gupta link? What’s interesting is why the eff are panicking. What does he know/ what is PG getting close to that worries them so much? How convenient for the crooks.... Malema has always been right about corrupt individuals.
