Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan accused the EFF of fascist populism and called on them to own up to any role they may have had in the VBS Mutual Bank scandal.

Cape Town - The Economic Freedom Fighters stepped up their campaign against Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan on Thursday by trying to prevent him from delivering his department's budget vote speech, which resulted in the red berets being physically ejected from the parliament.

This came some two hours after Gordhan told a briefing it was vital for those who were opposing government's anti-corruption drive at state-owned enterprises to be exposed, and included the EFF in the equation. Gordhan said the department now had nearly 3 000 forensic reports detailing the looting and destabilising of parastatals and would work diligently towards the prosecution of those involved and the recovery of funds.

The remarks come a day after Gordhan, in a court affidavit, accused Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane of, wittingly or unwittingly, helping the cause of those seeking to perpetuate state capture. In his court papers, he singled out the EFF as finding itself on the wrong side of the war for political renewal and unity.

The strife between the EFF and Gordhan erupted two hours later when the party's Sam Matiase interrupted the minister as he began delivering his budget vote address.As several other EFF MPs rose to support him, presiding officer Grace Boroto asked if they all took the same view and ordered them to leave the house.She then called in security staff to remove them, resulting in shoving and pushing in room E249 where the debate was taking place.

Pravin must resign. EFF is representing our interests. No criminals must be allowed in parliament.

Money laundry. That's why they are running after Gordon.

Lol what does he know about owning up, he failed to own up about meeting the Guptas, he hasn’t owned up about the corrupt relationship he has had with Pillay and he is busy running away from owning up about establishing an unlawful covert rogue unit!

😂😂😂😂😂 but can Pravin go to jail already please
