According to the civil rights organisation AfriForum, the decision by the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) to prosecute Pravin Gordhan, Minister of Finance, comes down to the ANC seriously abusing state instruments such as the NPA to wage its political infighting.
Kallie Kriel, CEO of AfriForum, says in reaction to Gordhan’s prosecution that it is a shame that the ANC’s infighting has degenerated to such an extent that the Zuma camp is now even prepared to sacrifice the country’s economy and the value of the rand simply to wage internal ANC battles. “The whole country is harmed and faces downgrading by grading agencies – all to protect one man, Jacob Zuma,” Kriel concludes.
Sound bites attached.
