Cosatu backs Gordhan as possible cabinet reshuffle looms
Pravin Gordhan.
NATIONAL NEWS - As speculation and uncertainty on Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan possible axing continues, the African National Congress (ANC)’s alliance partner Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu) has expressed its support behind him, calling him a brave man with a nerve of steel.

On Tuesday, Gordhan met with ANC secretary general Gwede Mantashe shortly after arriving from London.

Gordhan confirmed on Tuesday he is still the Finance Minister, at least for now.

Cosatu’s General Secretary Bheki Ntshalintshali says this is what they think of Gordhan.

“He’s a brave man who believes in his own principles. He’s a man with a nerve of steel.”

He says if the reshuffle does happen and Gordhan is axed, it would be interesting to know the reasons for his ousting.
