Zuma should step aside - Gordhan
18 July 2017
Cape Town – President Jacob Zuma should step aside and allow someone to lead the country and reset the course to fulfil the kind of aspirations that Nelson Mandela and his generation had for SA, former finance minister Pravin Gordhan said on Tuesday.
Gordhan told talk show host Eusebius McKaiser in a panel discussion on Mandela Day, that he had previously said it in the ANC forums.
He said the first democratically elected president had a sense of purpose that was non-negotiable.
"In today’s world, you must ask how many leaders do we have who have a non-negotiable purpose? Today your purpose is actually transactional. You can buy it… even for an air ticket, as well.
