Phapano Phasha wrote two letters to the commission – one in 2019 and another July 2020 – where she relayed her complaints about the minister, alleging he was bringing the party into disrepute.
The ANC’s integrity commission has decided that complaints laid by Brian Bunting branch member, Phapano Phasha, against Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan do not warrant him being called before it.
Phasha wrote to the commission with complaints against Gordhan on various issues – which, among others, include his approval of former SARS deputy commissioner Ivan Pillay’s early retirement and rehiring; alleged involvement in the so-called “SARS Rogue Unit”; alleged involvement in the appointment of his niece as a trustee of the Eskom Pension Fund; and racial discrimination in appointments made at the Department of Public Enterprises and state-owned entities.
