It is believed that, while the presidency
says Finance
Minister Pravin Gordhan's position is not under threat and the Hawks
claim they’re not investigating him, the African National Congress says the
Gordhan issue was not discussed at its National Working Committee meeting
yesterday.
The Presidency released another statement
saying, “Claims that President Jacob Zuma
and Gordhan are at war are a total fabrication and mischievous sensationalism”.
Last week, Gordhan said a letter from the
Hawks, asking him about a SARS unit he helped create, was an attempt at intimidating him before his budget.
The office also says measures are now being put
in places to address the issues around the difficulties in the relationship between Gordhan and
South African Revenue Service boss Tom Moyane.
