Gordhan calls out govt officials for misusing public office
Outgoing Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan has criticised government officials for using public offices to advance their personal interests.
Gordhan addressed the National Union of Mineworkers policy conference in Boksburg.
He says the election results are a clear message to the ANC.

Gordhan says the drop-in support for the ANC during the recent elections is a result of the failure to implement policies and the use of funds to dish out tenders and job opportunities as favours.
"Our biggest failure is that we want to use every institution in the state, and I'm going to come back to this - to give pressure. We need individuals that we know so that if we want money from them in order to win elections in our branch, in the province or in the region, we get the money to pay activists to vote for us. That's the truth: money is playing a bigger role in our politics."
