Die sekretaris-generaal van die ANC, Fikile Mbalula sê die enigste sinvolle manier om Pravin Gordhan se nalatenskap te vereer, is om op koers te bly met die party se vernuwing. Hy het die hoofrede gelewer by die herdenking van die lewe en aktivisme van die voormalige minister van Openbare Ondernemings, wat op die 13de van hierdie maand oorlede is. Die geleentheid is deur die Ahmed Kathrada-stigting aangebied. Mbalula sê die ANC moet meedoënloos wees in sy stryd teen teen-revolusie wat poog om die beweging te vernietig:

Pravin Gordhan, who passed away this week, was a respected ANC Cabinet Minister renowned for his battle against state capture and his two terms as Finance Minister. Tributes have poured in, highlighting his pivotal role in strengthening the South African Revenue Service against state capture, with whistleblower Johann van Loggerenberg dubbing him a “superhero.” In the heady days of the nineties, following Nelson Mandela's release from prison and amidst the negotiations for a new Constitution at Kempton Park, Gordhan was entrusted to lead the Convention for a Democratic South Africa (CODESA) and the Transitional Executive Council (TEC), which set the stage for the country's first democratic elections in 1994. Working closely with Gordhan at that time was Theuns Eloff, who served as the head of administration for the multiparty negotiation process. Eloff described Gordhan in an interview with Biznews as a principled negotiator and facilitator who understood compromise in order to reach the best solution. “There were three individuals during the negotiations who, behind the scenes and not in the public limelight, really made the process work: Mac Maharaj, Fanie van der Merwe, and Pravin Gordhan.” Regarding the criticism levelled at Gordhan over his handling of state-owned enterprises, Eloff said that what he accomplished during the negotiations and as Finance Minister overshadows “any rightful criticisms one might have regarding his time at Public Enterprises.” He concluded that Gordhan's legacy is “largely positive.”

Kerslig-nagwake is by Konstitusieheuwel in Johannesburg en die Erfenissentrum in Durban vir die gewese minister van Openbare Ondernemings, Pravin Gordhan, gehou. Hy is tans in die hospitaal, maar dis nie bekend wat hy makeer nie. Hy het in Mei uit die politiek getree om op sy gesondheid te fokus. Die Ahmed Kathrada-stigting se uitvoerende direkteur, Neeshan Balton, sê alhoewel mense gemengde gevoelens het oor Gordhan se nalatenskap in die regering, is sy nalatenskap oor korrupsie onbetwisbaar:
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa is facing calls to resign as he comes to terms with his African National Congress party losing its majority for the first time. The ANC, which led the fight to free South Africa from apartheid 30 years ago, won just 159 seats in the 400-member national assembly - a vote share of just over 40%. The result represents a seismic shift in the country's politics, with the ANC forced into coaliton talks. SBS' Janice Peterson spoke with Pravin Gordhan- the current Minister for Public Enterprises - who is now retiring from politics.

Die African Transformation Movement voer aan die Suid-Afrikaanse openbare ondernemings-minister, Pravin Gordhan, se ampstermyn het saamgeval met die mislukking van verskeie staatsondernemings, wat bygedra het tot die haglike ekonomiese landskap in die land. Die ATM se woordvoerder, Zama Ntshona, sê sommige SOE's oorweeg dit om meer as 6 000 werknemers af te lê, en dit dra by tot die sosio-ekonomiese uitdagings wat die land in die gesig staar.
Die Wes-Kaapse LUR vir Landbou, Ivan Meyer, is bekommerd oor die mislukkings van die Kaapstadse hawe en die aansienlike impak wat dit op landbou-uitvoere het. Volgens die provinsiale Departement van Ekonomiese Ontwikkeling en Toerisme neem vragvolumes by die hawe toe en dit het die potensiaal om oor die volgende vyf jaar met 26 persent te groei. Maar die kapasiteit om bederfbare produkte betyds te vervoer, is besig om dramaties te verswak. Meyer het die ingrypings van die minister van Openbare Ondernemings, Pravin Gordhan, verwelkom:
Die DA het die besluit van Eskom verwerp om die aanstelling van Dan Marokane, die voormalige bedryfshoof van die sukkelende suikerprodusent, Tongaat Hulett, as die nuwe bedryfshoof van Eskom te bevestig. Mimmy Gondwe van die DA sê ná die minister van Openbare Ondernemings, Pravin Gordhan, byna ‘n jaar die aanstellingsproses vertraag het, is die beste waarmee die ANC vorendag kon kom om ‘n oud-Eskom-hoof weer aan te stel, die status quo te handhaaf en die land in die ystergreep van beurtkrag te laat:
Die African Transformation Movement veroordeel ten sterkste die aflegging van 6 000 poskantoorwerkers in die buurland, nadat die sakereddingsplan bekragtig is. Die party sê hierdie besluit kom te midde van ʼn ekonomiese landskap vol uitdagings. Volgens die ATM dra dit by tot die groeiende lys ondernemings in staatsbesit wat ernstige uitdagings te bowe moet kom sedert president Cyril Ramaphosa die amp aanvaar het, dikwels met die ondersteuning van minister Pravin Gordhan. ATM-woordvoerder, Zama Ntshona, sê dit is ontmoedigend om te sien hoe ekonomiese besluite die lewensbestaan van hardwerkende mense wegvat.
Die DA het president Cyril Ramaphosa en die minister van Openbare Ondernemings, Pravin Gordhan, van mislukte leierskap beskuldig oor die uitdagings by Transnet-hawe-terminale. Die DA se nasionale woordvoerder vir Openbare Ondernemings, Mimmy Gondwe, sê albei leiers het hul grondwetlike pligte versuim om die ekonomie te beskerm, tydens die ergste krisis vir handel- en uitvoerhawens in dekades. Gondwe doen ‘n beroep op Ramaphosa en Gordhan om die leiding te neem en met belanghebbendes in die uitvoersektor en Transnet-bestuurders te skakel en aandag aan agterstande te gee en langtermynoplossings te vind.

Die buurland se minister van Openbare Ondernemings, Pravin Gordhan, sê 'n goed-toegeruste Suid-Afrikaanse Lugdiens het die vermoë om die land se ekonomie 'n hupstoot te gee. Hy het die Mededingingstribunaal se voorwaardelike goedkeuring van die Takatso-konsortium se plan verwelkom, om 51 persent van die staatsbeheerde lugdiens te bekom. Hy sê dit is 'n beduidende stap om die SAL mededingend en winsgewend te maak. 'n Woorvoerder van die departement, Ellis Mnyandu, sê die minister het benadruk die lugdiens se regruk dien as 'n baken vir wat staatsbeheerde instellings kan bereik wanneer die regte raamwerk aan hulle verskaf word:
