The $48 million account is held with the Royal Bank of Canada and is registered under R Jamandas Gordhan with account number 585425-91
EFF leader Julius Malema has alleged that Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan is linked to a $48 million Canada bank account. The account is held with the Royal Bank of Canada and is registered under R Jamandas Gordhan with account number 585425-91. This allegation has made its way to the charge sheet of the case opened by Malema against Gordhan on Tuesday.Addressing his supporters after opening the case, Malema asked why did Gordhan open a civil case against him because he could have just written a letter through his attorney.
"Pravin came to open a case here. Why is he opening a case on civil claims because civil claims you don't open a case. You just write a letter from the lawyers and say to Malema withdraw what you said, and apologize otherwise I will sue you," said Malema.
Malema also told his supporters that he presented the police with concrete evidence of Pravin Gordhan's.
"We brought evidence that Pravin established illegal intelligence unit in SARS and he contravened the Intelligence Act of South Africa."
"So we said to you that Pravin opened an account in Canada, and that account he encouraged people to put in money there when they had problems with SARS. I said to the police I have got a list of people who were told to put the money and given an account. I have got the list of people who put the money into the account. They are prepared to speak on condition you offer them indemnity," Malema said.
