Calls for Pravin Gordhan’s sacking not on ANC NEC agenda

The ANC says it’s National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting this weekend won’t discuss calls for Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan to be sacked. The country’s state-owned enterprises are expected to be put under the microscope with a special focus on the crisis at Eskom.

This after the resignation of Eskom board chairperson Jabu Mabuza and calls from Cosatu that Gordhan be taken to task.

In a written reply to a Parliamentary question, Gordhan defended government’s involvement in the running of the power utility as within its rights.
