Gordhan snubs NDPP
Updated | By Suné du Toit
Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan has declined National Director of Public Prosecutions (NDPP), Shaun Abrahams's invitation to make representations to have charges against him reviewed.

This comes after Abrahams yesterday invited Gordhan to make represenations before 5.00pm today after former Sars Commissioner Oupa Magashule and former Sars Deputy Commissioner Ivan Pillay did so.
In a letter, Gordhan's lawyers said he does not intend to make any representations.
"We have seen the letter by Freedom Under Law and the Helen Suzman Foundation dated 14 October 2016 in which we were copied. We invite you to withdraw the charges against our client in the light of the grounds set out therein. Our client does not intend to make representations to you for the considerations previously articulated," it said.
Gordhan received a summons to appear in court on 2 November on a charge of fraud in connection with Pillay's early retirement payout.
