'Minister Gordhan takes issue with both the haste and the timing of the release of her report.'

In her remedial action, the public protector instructed President Cyril Ramaphosa to take disciplinary action against Gordhan for"violating the constitution".

“In light of the most recent judgment in relation to the Vrede Dairy Project, Minister Gordhan is of the view that the Public Protector has once again erred in her findings and proposed remedial action. We are instructed to institute review proceedings immediately,” said the statement issued on behalf of Gordhan.

“Minister Gordhan takes issue with both the haste and the timing of the release of her report. The complaint involves complex considerations of pension fund laws in as far they relate to public servants. It is doubtful whether due consideration was given to Minister Gordhan’ submissions. “The haste and the timing of the Public Protector shows a complete disregard for a an important constitutional event for our country, the inauguration of the President of the Republic of South Africa.”

Mkhwebane said, while releasing her findings on Friday, she was not trying to play to the political gallery or influence the makeup of cabinet.

We can't have Ministers for Life. Perhaps such positions must have term limits. Incumbency is a problem

I hope they arrest this bastard

I'm sure the review will be submitted at the North Gauteng High Court.

Why can't he just subject himself to the processes? Innocent or not. Something is beating water here.

Our primeminister won't go down without a fight

🙄🙄🙄

What is he saying about the quality and facts of the PP report?

He will be complain about timing again when the Rouge unit findings come out but he is busy wasting our time not answering questions

What is troubling him with haste on the release of the report? Beaten in his game of hastening the release of reports. Remember Thuli Madonsela's report which was R5m steamrolled so that it will be releases to damage the image of President Zuma!

What's wrong with timing? Next I will be approaching PP to look into Pravin's daughter.... apparently she walks around PIC like she owns the whole 2 trillion managed by PIC for GEPF. I smell a rat there

That's your excuse, let's go for review

JUST IN: Gordhan fights Mkhwebane's report: 'Public Protector has once again erred'Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan plans to institute immediate review proceedings against the Public Protector's report and findings, including the proposed remedial action. This should be another interesting thing to see how it turns out. She could have taken the chance of Zuma leaving office to change, do a Mogoeng by being the exact opposite of what was expected of her but alas Good. Still annoying, her timing is sinister, any less any of her findings which all seem to be with fault. This Pp is not living up to the expectations of her office!
