Parliament – Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan has the full backing of the cabinet, Minister in the Presidency Jeff Radebe said on Thursday.
Gordhan is expected in court on November 2 to answer to fraud charges laid against him by the National Prosecuting Authority.
The charges say that while running the South African Revenue Service, Gordhan fraudulently approved early retirement for a deputy.
Gordhan is “innocent until proven otherwise by a court of law,” Radebe told reporters.
Gordhan has also been added to a inter-ministerial task team analysing university fees following protests by students over the cost of higher education, Radebe said.
