We are not prosecuting Gordhan - NPA
23 May 2016
Pretoria - The National Prosecuting Authority is not driving any prosecution against Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan, its chief prosecutor said on Monday.
"There are no charges of espionage being investigated against Minister Gordhan," national director of public prosecutions Shaun Abrahams told reporters in Pretoria.
Last weekend's reports that Gordhan faced imminent arrest negatively affected the economy, Abrahams said.
Also comments by "certain" media, politicians, and analysts on these reports did not help, he said.
