Yesterday, National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) head advocate Shaun Abrahams confirmed Gordhan had been summoned to appear in court in November, along with former South African Revenue Service (Sars) Commissioner Oupa Magashula and former deputy Sars Commissioner Ivan Pillay.
Gordhan has said the charges are politically motivated but that he will subject himself to the legitimate processes of the law.
His attorney Tebogo Malatjie says they simply don’t understand how this charge could have been brought against their client.
