Mthembu: EFF hates Gordhan because he's fighting corruption
Minister in the Presidency Jackson Mthembu has come out in full support of his cabinet colleague Pravin Gordhan.
The Minister of Public Enterprises has been at loggerheads with the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) which has accused him of corruption.
EFF MPs were thrown out of Parliament on Thursday after disrupting Gordhan's budget speech vote.

The red berets argued that Gordhan cannot address the National Assembly as Public Protector Busiswe Mkhwebane has made damning findings against him.
Mthembu says the EFF hates Gordhan because he is fighting corruption.
He was speaking in Pretoria at the renaming of the GCIS media center as the Ronnie Mamoepa media center.
