Pravin Gordhan is being treated as though he is above the law.

This was the word from the Economic Freedom Fighters after news broke that President Cyril Ramaphosa had won his court case against Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane on Thursday.

“It is mind-boggling why, in this matter, the Public Protector did not even consent to at least … have the remedial action stayed, pending finalisation of the review application,” Molopa-Sethosa said while delivering her ruling. Mkhwebane in May issued the report that found Gordhan erred in approving Pillay’s early retirement with full benefits in 2010. Gordhan was finance minister at the time.

Gordhan took her report on review after saying that the Public Protector’s findings were “totally wrong both in fact and in law”. Ramaphosa also said in court papers he couldn’t know what constituted “appropriate” disciplinary action until the outcome of the judicial review. He noted there were several options available to him, including a reprimand, a fine or even sacking Gordhan from Cabinet.

Mpofu also warned of a “bloodbath on our democracy” if the president failed to implement or delayed implementing remedial action.
