Minister Pravin Gordhan condemns the disruptions at Wits University lecture, says the conduct was “appalling”

In other Wits news, Briefly News reported that Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan condemned the behaviour of a group of students at the University of Witswaterands Centenary Celebration that took place on Thursday night, 7 July. He had finished delivering a lecture on state-owned enterprises (SEO) when students questioned him on Eskom’s state.

The minister said the students were “hell-bent” on disrupting the lecture and described the conduct as appalling. In a statement shared by SABC News, Gordhan said the group of “disruptors” posed as guests and were briefed by political forces to create disruptions and instability in the country.

He said that the aim of the group was to intimidate rather than engage. Gordhan said it was an attempt to mislead the public. He also said that he was the target of a racist attack.
