WATCH: Pravin Gordon lecturer disturbed by Wits Students

The minister was invited to deliver a public lecture to mark the Wits University Centenary celebrations on Thursday night, but the event was disrupted by a handful of students, who hurled insults at Gordhan and accused him of ‘stealing Eskom.’

Students said Gordhan also needed to account for state capture because he was appointed finance minister during the Zuma era.

During the question-and-answer session, Wits  students asked Gordhan about his role in what has come to be known as the ‘9 wasted years’ during the tenure of former president Jacob Zuma.

He was then Minister of Finance. The lecture soon descended into chaos when students chanted “Pravin must go”.

The Public Enterprises Department has since released a statement condemning the incident “in the strongest terms”.

It says that Gordhan was not kicked out.

“Let us emphasise this most clearly: The Minister was not kicked out. The Minister and DPE will not be intimidated,” read the statement.

Successfully we have made Pravin Gordan to account SOE's and Eskom Crisis.
