Minister of Public Enterprises Pravin Gordhan.
The Ministry of Public Enterprises has condemned what it calls reckless and insensitive tweets and reports questioning Minister Pravin Gordhan’s health.
On Sunday, the ministry said the reports were fake news that was meant to distract and cause unnecessary confusion in the market . I’m well and working hard for the country. This is clearly mischief created by the corrupt and desperate elements in South Africa who wish to go on stealing, neglect the poor and abuse public resources, Gordhan said in a statement.
The ministry said Gorhan continues to be engaged in matters of the state to ensure that our state-owned enterprises are stabilised and play a critical role in the economic recovery of the country.
Matshela Koko has come out all guns blazing on Sunday, after he objected to an article published by the
Sunday Times. In a display of sheer contempt for the claims made in Graeme Hosken’s investigative piece, the former Eskom CEO branded the journalist as ‘a pig’ and ‘scum’. But what’s got the engineer so hot under the collar?
Former Eskom supremo accused of ‘nepotism’
Some of the accusations against Matshela Koko are related to the ABB company. It’s said that they enjoyed a cosy relationship with Eskom, and Hosken states that this led to ‘subcontracting issue’ that dips its toes in nepotistic waters.
