Gordhan hits back over 'poo protest' and interruptions
27 November 2017
Durban – Former finance minister Pravin Gordhan has denounced the behaviour of a large crowd of people who interrupted him and threw sewage outside a venue in KwaDukuza, north of Durban, where he was supposed to deliver a speech on Sunday.
Gordhan described their conduct as "intolerant" and said all organisations must condemn it.
The people, believed to be ANC Youth League members, prevented him from speaking at the Siva Sungum Hall, where a fundraising event for the Concerned Citizens Group (CCG) was held on Sunday.
The ANCYL has dismissed claims that it was involved.
