EFF STATEMENT ON THE REAPPOINTMENT OF PRAVIN GORDHAN AS FINANCE MINISTER

13 December 2015

The reappointment of Pravin Gordhan as Finance Minister by Zuma is an official admission that we truly are joke as South Africa. Effectively, the country has had three finance ministers in one week. If anyone still does not think we are in a Banana Republic, they cannot be helped.

No amount of explanation can save the ANC from the embarrassment and the joke they have put the entire country through.

The EFF calls for the immediate resignation of Zuma before he plunges the country into a deeper crisis. Zuma is a humiliation and disaster for South Africa, who prioritises personal aspirations at the expense of the country. The ruling party should now appreciate that the country is more important than the personal interests of one individual.
