Pravin Gordhan acted improperly with early payout, finds public protector

Public protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane has found that Pravin Gordhan acted improperly when he approved the early pension payout for former SA Revenue Service senior official Ivan Pillay.

"The allegation that minister Gordhan irregularly approved the early retirement of Mr Ivan Pillay with full retirement benefits … is substantiated," Mkhwebane said. In her remedial action, the public protector instructed President Cyril Ramaphosa to take disciplinary action against Gordhan for"violating the constitution".

The early pension payout was made during Gordhan's first stint as finance minister. Oupa Magashula was Sars commissioner at the time. A complaint was lodged with the public protector's office in November 2016 alleging that Gordhan and Magashula had acted dishonestly with regard to public funds, which had resulted in Pillay receiving an improper advantage or being unjustifiably enriched at the expense of the taxpayer.

And.... is this the same PP who gets her 'findings' rubbished by the High Court?

He must ignore the report and taie tge cabinet post just like mbaluha

His ousting long over due. Too much irregularities surrounding him. He must do the honourable and leave Parliament. S.Africans are tired of this man

He must resign from parliament

Another rotten egg.

Findings, not allegations.
