Governing party spokesperson downplays suggestions factions will use the gathering to push for the minister’s removal

At the weekend, ANC spokesperson Pule Mabe downplayed suggestions that the NEC meeting would be used by factions within the ANC to attack Gordhan and push for his removal.

The commission of inquiry into state capture is due to continue its work this week. Last week new rules governing the workings of the commission, chaired by deputy chief justice Raymond Zondo, were gazetted. Zuma failed to appear before the commission in November after his legal team said he was too ill. The inquiry signalled that it could use its subpoena powers to compel witnesses to take the stand.

Aggett was a medical doctor and trade unionist who worked mainly in overcrowded hospitals in black townships such as Soweto, Mthatha and Tembisa. While working at Baragwanath Hospital in Soweto, Aggett became involved in the trade union movement, championing worker rights through his involvement with the Transvaal branch of the African Food and Canning Workers’ Union.
