Pravin Gordhan has been at the centre of many political storms that have torn through South Africa’s political landscape. He has been investigated by the Hawks, fired as finance minister, accused of running a ‘rogue unit’ at SARS and come up against the public protector, to name a few. Seasoned journalists Jonathan Ancer and Chris Whitfield have taken a magnifying glass to someone at the centre of this tumultuous period to try to understand the man behind the public image. Seasoned and charismatic radio journalist and creative industries strategist Michelle Constant talks to the authors to examine why President Cyril Ramaphosa’s right-hand man has been dragged into major controversies and made enemies such as public protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane, Julius Malema and many of those associated with corruption.
