Pravin Gordhan's Spokesperson Resigns

Sam Mkokeli, the Spokesperson of South Africa’s Public Enterprises Minister, Pravin Gordhan, has resigned after publicly denouncing the minister for investigating whistleblowers.

It is alleged that Gordhan directed the investigation of whistleblowers who leaked information about his Chief of Staff, Nthabiseng Borotho who is believed to have been hired despite failing to meet minimum requirements.

Mkokeli argued that the investigation of whistleblowers created an environment of fear.
