Parliament - Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema on Wednesday promised to up the ante in applying pressure on President Cyril Ramaphosa to act against Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan.
"We are going to use this Parliament to put pressure on you and on your friends, who are coming from the cabal, to respect the chapter nine institutions. I don't care who occupies that office, that office must be respected," Malema said. Malema was referring to two reports by the public protector which found Gordhan had acted illegally when he was SA Revenue Service commissioner - both of which are being challenged in court.
The actions of the EFF were largely criticised as other opposition parties accused the party of thuggery and several civil society organisations released statements in support of Gordhan.
