He died without explaining WHY Ketso Gordhan (his nephew) was awarded SAA contracts while Pravin was minister of Public Enterprises and when he was minister of Finance. In those 2 portfolios, he literally presided over SAA and his nephew got contracts. Ketso continued to get IPP contracts at Eskom just before the pandemic and Pravin was presiding over Eskom. That’s exactly how I will personally remember Pravin.
You would think differently if you had ever encountered him at close quarters. He undermined black people. He found me chatting with some important American people at a conference organised by our government. Walked up to us, read my name tag, completely ignoring me other than that, then broke into our conversation addressing the yte Americans only, without even a nod in my direction. The Americans were so embarrassed they quickly made excuses about returning to their seats and walked away. He immediately followed them to his seat which was in the same area as theirs. That’s just one example.

None of the righteous deeds that he has done shall be remembered; for the treachery of which he is guilty and the sin he has committed, for them he shall die.
Klein, he did well at SARS but was terrible at Finance Ministry. Go look at the Budgets from 2009 to 2014: that is when the deficit worsened. I agree that coming out of the 2008 financial crisis governments needed to spend but as FM you need to guard the deficit, if it is being spent on consumption rather than fixed capital formation.
We don't go with things of this world but we go because of Jesus if believe he died and rose again and follow his word s that teaches how to live life of holiness then you go to heaven of God
We were oppressed as a “RACE not “CLASS”him being a pharmacist doesn’t mean he was immune from apartheid contagious..We were affected,all of us,irrespective of even disability..how cruel was apartheid...
His legacy & those who liberated me never went to exile,I believe those who fought the old regime inside & died are the ones who sacrificed their lives for me.Pravin is a professional politician not a revolutionary politicians what has he done,show us things he has done for South Africa,his legacy is in business that his family will benefit. I personally won't remember him,may his soul rest in peace
If there is anything you said, that I agree with is that ANC is lucky to have someone like Mbeki still leaving in this crisis time the ANC is facing. Anyway, the truth is Renew or Die. Finish and Klaar.

Kudos to Cyril Ramaphosa for signing BELA bill. Ramaphosa is a negotiator. I think his strength is there. He was not scared of forging ahead to sign BELA bill even after DA's noise on BELA bill.
The Bela Bill is not about language, it is about taking the last of the excellent schooling and lowering it to the appalling standards the ANC has brought Public education too.
Our problem is Government is allowing this crime to go on and is painful because the ANC don't feel bad by doing this thing and even those who got those documents are fake documents from Government officials who are doing this nonsense
Bela Bill will do nothing for vanacular languages. Afrikaans schools will be replaced with english schools, deep down we know it. As black people, we must just be honest and say we are fighting for English😅
Fighting to disrupt the Afrikaans speaking community by any means neccessary.. Hogging every lever and space in this country.. Using the Afrikaans speaking community As crunches to Lean ON.. Ride the gravy train of functioning institutions of education and ruin them.. Because black people cant do it themselves... If Black people can do it.. They must show it... Build functional languages that can translate into the industry.. But Black people cant.. So to take a short cut.. Wait for the Afrikaans speaking community to build these instituitions and then want to be included(claiming public interest) .. Take them over and ruin them.. Look at Forthare....majority of black schools disfunctional.. In every sphere.
Truth does not kill. Be blunt as you are JJ. I like how you are. PG stood against corruption. He was a corruption buster. However, his role in SOEs was indeed a mess.
illegal immigrant children won't need documents for schools and you can't deport parents of a child in school? The worst people who will affected are Black South Africans' kids who will be squashed like sardines in classrooms, you'll see after the futsek makgowa euphoria wears off.
JJ The fundamental question for me,is whether what he did as Minister of Trade and Industry,was deliberate or not?There is a difference between making a mistake and doing wrong deliberately, for reasons best known only to you.
How many schools did anc govt build over 30yrs. Now small black kids must travel every day in grandfather's bakkie to other areas that dont have a black language. Who is to blame? not the DA
if the ANC had tried to build infrastructure at the same rate as the NATS did after 1948, they'd had fractured on who of them would get the lion's share. Their own greed was their biggest undoing.
ANC messed up. Not long go,they wanted to introduce language called Sehwahili foreign language. I was shocked. Our African languages are dying under ANC government. Why celebrate heritage day then?
Some fair comment on Pravin. But let’s be realistic. When he took over the SOE’’s. They were already a sink hole, all of them. When you have a business like transnet that procures trains that can’t fit on the South African rail tracks what do you? People expected miracles from him when there were sea of hyenas around the hyenas. When you have a ceo of Eskom that focussed on writing a book in the three years he was employed. What do you do. cEOs that don’t do their job. And you expect a minister to resolve the problems. Country, please not be stupid in mass. But we are.our stupidly killed him.
What your explanation for Pravin attempting to sell SAA for R51 and then rushing to seal all documents that pertain to that deal so that you, the tax payer could never find out why he chose to sell the SOE for R51?
@marabunya you and I pumped 50 billions into saa in past 15 years to keep paying for corruption of dudu myeni and others.. do u prefer to pump another 50 billion into saa? Money that could hav build 1 million houses? So when u say sold for r51, you must also give the context and history, but with 30% education, many cannot think past ter nose.. and it was not r51, their were condition like takatso had to put 2 million into saa as working capital.. pravin was doing the country a favor buy getin rid of somtin that was draining our tax money. It's only when pvt sector was running saa did we start seeing a turn around.. excess dead weight in terms of staff were fired and it started operating like a business, not a looting vehicle that it was..once that happened, suddenly the past rot was forgotten, and pravin became the bad guy
If you talk about equality of all of our languages then afrikaans wins. English must remain the medium of instructions even in parliament to prevent the unnecessary drama that we are witnessing
The media freedom in South Africa is insane & we take it for granted😂😂 In most parts of the world you cannot criticize & speak against government like this without going missing...I agree with JJ, South Africa has not had a President since Thabo Mbeki.
I actually would have been surprised if PG did not have detractors. Nobody is a Saint in this world. Even Mandela was criticised by some quarters after he passed on to prove that he was a human being and he made mistakes along the way. So PG was just a human being like the rest of us who are still waiting for our D Day. MHSRIP💔
Pravin may have participated in the struggle, but he did not belive in the original ideologies of the ANC. They played a role in stalling RDP and introduced GEAR which dismally failed. Anyone going back to the critics of GEAR when it was introduced, will realize that high inequality, high unemployment, high interest rates, abject poverty, financially orientated state, rampant corruption, and collapse of State Institutions are the consequences of GEAR. SAn masses who rendered the Appartheid regime ungovernable, those who matched, those who were beaten and shot at, are the ones who played critical role iin the struggle. The role of some leaders are exaggerated.
Yeah Gordhan fought that former Eskom CEO for exposing corruption at the state owned company and I believe it was him who said " let other people eat". As much as he fought state capture but he ended up being corrupt or immoral, tried to sell SAA but refused to divulged details of the sale to the public until the transaction was strapped
JJ Rants! Everyone in this c SA is free to have their own opinions an you are saying that yourself. Everyone has a good and a bad side. If people see different things in them. Don't critic fhe person but their activities as long as they character especially when they are consciously knowing it. Enea Motaung. S Johannesburg. Gauteng Province.
I like your analysis bcs it realistic n I think the sad truth is politicians shade each other whenever one drops the ball n that what Pravin did n for that he became a face of privatization however as for ANC's renewal,it will be futile if the Phala Phala man is still the head as this remain the biggest scandal that is clouding the ANC.
Just in case you did not get the memo: the worst haters of PG are cadres who he thwarted from getting their 'pound of flesh' of the fiscus. Till their dying days PG stands no better than all Capitalists combined. We are sort of catching up with the ANC.
Black Africans generally speak English as a home language. Mother tongue education is also not something new. In fact James Henderson (Lovedale's third principal) was advocating it in the 1930s. So JJ get your historical facts straight instead of perpetuating myths!!
Thank you JJ, people are multidimensional. His fight back during the Zuma was heroic. At the end, he was a problem. What put me off was how people took a dump on him while his body was still worm... too soon EFF.
JJ you've only zoned in on one aspect of the Bela bill and using that to endorse it in its entirety including the flawed aspects.. The department of education is struggling with a shortage of skilled teachers and there currently many vacant teacher positions even though the system is producing more than enough teachers annually, so what's happening there? The Gauteng government has just cut the education budget by over R4Billion for the 2024/2025 financial year, at the same time, the Bela bill says Grade R should be compulsory (which is good) but that alone will require an additional R12Billion! This doesn't make any sense at all! Some aspects of the bill are indeed great as you've highlighted but some aspects were not supposed to have been included, at least not until the government has the capacity and resources for those other clauses in the bill.
Bella act does little if physics and maths are not thought in African languages too when they are thought in Afrikaans. lf the act does not aim at producing self sufficient and self reliant graduates who can further industrialise the country and create jobs for the poor.
For me mbeki is nothing but a selfish pompous individual. Under his watch 3000 people died from aids. He don't care. He also wanted to overstay his Wellcome as ANC leader.
Can one or two actions sully, despoil, erase, devalue the heroic legacy of a struggle hero? And I ask this question not restricted to the South African context but internationally. in my view I believe a single action can belittle the legacy of a political liberator. Secondly, is it fair to separate the legacy of a struggle hero from that of a public servant after 'victory'?
The ANC's position on language was weak (and has always been), hence in the last 30 yrs they've championed the idea of being agreeable to everyone - thus displeasing everyone alike. Like Francophone Africa, the ANC found themselves 'married' to the language of their colonizers - English.
We're so lucky to have Prof. Tabane headlining our prime time news space. He is so blunt, bold and honest without fear or favour.
What an uncredibly balanced perspective...
Well Done Prof

FACTS - He did we'll at SARS, Finance Ministry, Fighting state capture.
But failed dismally at Public Enterprise.
He never fought but pretended to fight state capture that is continuing unabated
You would think differently if you had ever encountered him at close quarters. He undermined black people.
He found me chatting with some important American people at a conference organised by our government. Walked up to us, read my name tag, completely ignoring me other than that, then broke into our conversation addressing the yte Americans only, without even a nod in my direction.
The Americans were so embarrassed they quickly made excuses about returning to their seats and walked away. He immediately followed them to his seat which was in the same area as theirs.
