National Prosecuting Authority head, Shaun Abrahams, announced this week that Pravin Gordhan will be charged with fraud relating to the early retirement of a former colleague at the national tax agency that resulted in R1.1m of allegedly wasteful expenditure.
"It is most unfortunate that the Hawks have, once again, chosen to initiate legal proceedings at a moment that appears calculated to maximise the damage inflicted on the economic well- being of South Africans and essential processes of government."
“This is a moment where all South Africans need to ask whose interests these people in the Hawks, the NPA and the NDPP are advancing. Where do they get their political instructions from and for what purpose?”
Mr Gordon himself is quoted as stating the following, "The cause of defending ethical leadership in government and throughout society is too important to allow ourselves to be deterred by this kind of harassment. The fight against corruption, maladministration, and waste of public resources will continue,”.
Shaun Abrahams said he is willing to review a decision to prosecute Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan on fraud charges if requested to do so. I am therefore asking you to help me in doing so by signing this petition, for our country's future.
