Meanwhile, African National Congress secretary-general Fikile Mbalula has slammed “insensitive” political opponents wishing death on Gordhan. “The family put it on record that indeed he was in hospital. It was correct for the family to do that given his standing in public but at the same time given the fact that those that are opposed to Gordhan seem to be on the overdrive of fake news in this regard, including some who made even public statements to wish him dead – which is unAfrican and at the same time, that’s not ubuntu,” Mbalula said.
