‘ Pravin Gordhan an epitome of integrity’ — Ahmed Kathrada Foundation says former minister endured endless persecution

“Pravin Gordhan has been admitted in hospital, and many of the people here requested a space to be convened where they could gather and pay tribute to him, and also send well wishes to his family and to himself as he battles whatever he is dealing with, which resulted in him being hospitalised,” Balton spoke to

“Endlessly, the persecution that he had to endure by her and the former president , I think very few would have withstood that. He withstood it, he went back into government. When he took over Sars, it was to try and transform it, but as minister of finance I think he steadied our finance considerably.”
