Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane’s most recent report focusing on Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan not only instructed President Cyril Ramaphosa to take disciplinary action against Gordhan within a month, but also asked the National Prosecuting Authority and the police to investigate possible criminal charges against him., Gordhan has turned to the courts once again.
The Public Protector report that Gordhan wants set aside implicated the minister in six matters of misconduct and unlawful activity. But the application also proceeds to dispute Mkhwebane’s interpretation of the facts relating to the six complaints she investigated. Mkhwebane’s report does not buy this argument. The Public Protector wrote in her report that Gordhan’s claim to have forgotten the meeting “does not seem like a bona fide defence”.
The establishment of the unit was legal and indeed necessary in order to enhance SARS’ intelligence-gathering capacity in order to combat tax crime, they contend. SARS had the ability to establish such a unit in terms of the SARS Act. Gordhan told the Public Protector he was not involved in the recruitment of staff for the unit, since this task fell to the management of the unit. Much like Mkhwebane’s finding with regards to Gordhan’s Gupta answer, she simply found this denial “improbable”.
The court papers describe this complaint, which was again upheld by Mkhwebane, as “an appalling slur on the reputation of a highly skilled and conscientious public servant” who is owed an apology.
becsplanb ha ha ha ha seriously?
becsplanb Jamnandas must b arrested. He z corrupt
becsplanb LOGIC FAILS: 'It further questions how Mkhwebane was able to find that the SARS unit unlawfully procured intelligence equipment when, by Mkhwebane’s own admission, SARS failed to provide her with the relevant records of procurement.' DM PublicProtector
becsplanb This old man is delusional. PravinGordhan
becsplanb A deputy commissioner that needs no qualifications.? Even a typist would need some qualification.
becsplanb Lol
becsplanb The Cases in Court are not decided on HOW BEST ONE HAS LABELED THE OTHER BUT ON THE FACTS AND THE LAW.Pillay was not entitled to have his entire Pension Payout and continued to work in the same role with no changes in his conditions of work & THE ROGUE UNIT EXISTED WAS UNLAWFUL
becsplanb Sekwekwene1 Sure, we rooted for him during the days it seemed Jacob and Friends were on an unabated looting spree, Pravin Gordhan seemed to encapsulate the spirit of tireless and faithful leadership. But just look closely on HOW he chooses to defend himself.
becsplanb Sekwekwene1 Then have a look at the language the author uses. Grand , heroic overture like the beginning of an aged etv movie: 'Guns blazing', 'holding nothing back', to set the tone and create artificial impact for Pravin Gordhan's response.
becsplanb He must tell the courts that nonsense
becsplanb Sekwekwene1 Just to be fair, have a read at PG's usual defence strategy. See how unspecific it is on each and every point. From a broad political conspiracy, technical arguments on the statute of limitations on investigating BUT no direct dispute of the facts.
becsplanb This thing of alleged offenders suffering from amnesia when it is convenient to do so has now become the norm. I put it to u pravin that u knew very well that a gupta was in that meeting and u deliberately lied in parly! We not idiots maan!
becsplanb MY PEOPLE'S LIFE'S IS NOT INTERTAINMENT THAT YOUR CREATING,PEOPLE ARE WAITING FOR MEDICATIONS GRANNIES ARE BEING TIED TO BANCHES BUT WE MUST BE HOLD RONSOM BY UNETHICAL MISLEADERS.CYRIL,PRAVIN,MBOWENI AND MANTASHE MUST JUST RESIGN OR HUMILIATED MORETHAN ZUMA.PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING
becsplanb I must admit he goes to great length explaining the legality and lawfulness of establishing the investigatigative unit. However, he seems to attempt to wash his hands of the alleged iregular appointment of staff for the same unit. Who was the accounting officer then?
becsplanb Haven't read any gun blazing sentence in this article... it's what we knew would happen... 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
becsplanb Defender? Lol
becsplanb Eban firing blanks whose firing them lol it's only you daily maverick corrupt PG must prove his innocence in court not newspapers

becsplanb stratcom 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂
becsplanb You guys are dreaming,,Which gun blazing did he come out with?

Busisiwe Mkhwebane comes out guns blazing in parliament, takes aim at Gwede Mantashe'The member of the executive in question appeared to be under the impression that we just woke up one morning and decided to pursue the subject of the investigation, when in fact, we do not target people.' The PP,Mkhwebane investigations are questionable every state capture and corruption perpetrators must be investigated at the moment it is all about ANC battles what about Steinhoff's and other WMP capitalist Surprisingly there is evidence that the estena money did not go to people that it was suppose to go to and people who took the money are still out there, they are not pursued Mkhwebane’s personal agenda and her prejudice are absolutely blatant. There are very few people in South Africa who have fought corruption as strongly as Pravin Gordhan have and Busiswe is obsessed with making a case against him despite the lack of any credible evidence
