ActionSA extends condolences to the loved ones of former Minister of Public Enterprises, Pravin Gordhan. A longstanding public servant, his contribution to South Africa’s political and economic landscape over five decades was considerable.

During his tenure as Minister of Finance, Gordhan was known for his firm stance on fiscal discipline and his fight against corruption, notably standing against the forces of state capture. His leadership at the South African Revenue Service (SARS) helped strengthen tax collection and improve the country’s revenue base.

In his later role as Minister of Public Enterprises, he worked to stabilize state-owned enterprises like Eskom and Transnet during challenging times. 

Our thoughts go out to his family and friends during this difficult time.
