JOHANNESBURG – Lawyers for Public Enterprise Minister Pravin Gordhan accused the public protector of conducting illegal and unfair investigations.
Today, the Pretoria High Court annulled Busisiwe Mkhwebane’s report on the approval of the early retirement of former Sars Deputy Commissioner Ivan Pillay.
The minister questioned the report that also recommended that President Cyril Ramaphosa take disciplinary action against him.
Gordhan’s lawyer, Tebogo Malatji, said the court found the minister’s decision to be legal.
“The court also found that nothing in the report establishes that Minister Gordhan contravened any of the basic values that govern public principles.”
