NATIONAL NEWS - Former Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan has been accused of pushing a factional agenda during a debate on state capture at the University of Johannesburg.
He was speaking alongside his former deputy Mcebisi Jonas on Wednesday.
On several occasions students heckled Gordhan, accusing him of being disingenuous on his views about who dominates the country's economy.
"You can't come to South African and tell them that their enemies are colourless monopoly capital. Who has our things? Mr Pravin, you know. You sit on the boards of these global and multinational companies... who has the land today?"
Gordhan tried to draw correlations between state capture and the current African National Congress (ANC) leadership but was booed.
