Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan has a Bachelor of Pharmacy degree.
The University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) confirmed this after the embattled minister's detractors spread a rumour on social media that he did not hold this qualification.
"The Office of the Registrar at the University of KwaZulu-Natal confirms that Pravin Jamnadas Gordhan studied and successfully completed the requirements for the Bachelor of Pharmacy degree in 1973," read a statement from Ashton Bodrick, the university's executive director for corporate relations.
"In addition, he received an honorary doctorate in 2003 and the Convocation Award in 2013 from the university."
