Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan has been granted more time to file his evidence in the so-called rogue unit case with the public protector’s office after the incumbent Busisiwe Mkhwebane subpoenaed him for it earlier this month.
Mkhwebane granted him an extension, which was confirmed by her office on Tuesday afternoon. However, it is not yet clear how much extra time he has been granted.Gordhan’s spokesperson, Adrian Lackay, had earlier this month said there were three investigations conducted on the matter and none had found the establishment of the high-risk investigative unit illegal.
Lackay said they had planned a briefing session with Gordhan’s lawyers to think of an appropriate response to the subpoena. “This comes on the back of similarly baseless comments in the public domain that Mkhwebane’s investigations concerning allegations levelled against Gordhan are part of factional battles involving a political party,” he said.
He said the fact that the National Prosecuting Authority abandoned criminal charges against Gordhan on similar issues had no bearing on Mkhwebane’s probe.

Gordhan insists all is under control at EskomGordhan has insisted that despite the difficulties the power utility faces, it will not collapse. An organisation that needs bail out almost every three months can't be sustainable. Is this another electioneering speech?

Gordhan: Eskom will continue to need short-term bailouts until it's stabilisedPublic Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan said that more extensive future plans for the utility will only become clearer in May. Can the voters vote out Pravin on the 8 of May to stabilise Eskom. It seems like HE is the problem at that utility. Wonderful. Sad to think that in 1995 the eskom finance company raised more funds than Eskom did from its core business.

Gordhan: Eskom not about to collapseAt the weekend, it emerged that the government rushed to make R5 billion available to the cash-strapped utility much earlier than expected. It's bankrupt, corrupted to the core, over-staffed, under producing, not maintained and under-skilled. What is left to collapse? Were his lips moving when he said that. He is ANC after all and it is election season as well.
