ANCYL slams Ramapohosa for supporting Gordhan
Johannesburg – The ANC Youth League has been critical of all who’ve publicly pledged support for Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan ahead of his court appearance on November 2, saying that he should go through the normal court processes like everyone else.
"Society wants us to believe there are some who must not be prosecuted and prove themselves innocent and that some should be prosecuted," ANCYL secretary general Njabulo Nzuza said.
He said Gordhan should be allowed the space to undergo the legal process without people taking sides, he also hit out at the deputy president of both the country and the ANC, Cyril Ramaphosa, for publicly supporting Gordhan.
"The Deputy President is succumbing to pressure that is portraying (Pravin) Gordhan as someone who must not be charged."
Nzuza criticised Ramaphosa for taking sides, arguing that a leader in government should not do this.
