Enoch Godongwana who has been accused of sexually harassing a woman at a spa has allegedly offered the lady R250 000 to drop the case.
Godongwana also denied the accusations.
“I have always upheld and respected the rights and dignity of women, and this allegation goes against everything I stand for,” he said.
The EFF called on President Cyril Ramaphosa to fire Godongwana.
“If the ANC government respected women, a minister accused of sexual violence would have resigned with immediate effect on his own accord. If President Cyril Ramaphosa could just pretend to uphold his oath of office he would have fired his minister of finance.
“But SA is governed by patriarchal and misogynistic filth that it embeds in every aspect of our society. The deadly state of gender-based violence and femicide in SA is a direct reflection of the ANC government’s contempt for women in SA,” EFF spokesperson Sinawo Tambo said.
