<p>Former South African Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan has died after a short illness.</p>



<p>His family said Gordhan, who also previously served in the Ministries of Public Enterprises and Cooperative Governance, died in the early hours of Friday. He was 75.</p>



<p>Gordhan was lauded for standing up against corruption under former President Jacob Zuma during a period that came to be known as state capture when India’s Gupta brothers were accused of widespread bribery and corruption of government officials. He was a freedom fighter for the African National Congress during its struggle against apartheid rule.</p>



<p>“We have lost an outstanding leader whose unassuming persona belied the depth of intellect, integrity and energy with which he undertook his activism, his duty as a parliamentarian and his roles as a member of Cabinet,’’ President Cyril Ramaphosa said in a condolence message.</p>



<p>Gordhan was appointed as Commissioner of the South African Revenue Service (SARS) in 1999, after a period as Deputy Commissioner as South Africa transitioned to democratic rule. His decade at SARS was marked by improved tax collection and governance, which led to his appointment as Finance Minister in 2009 till 2014.</p>



<p>His family said Gordhan understood public service was for the greater good rather than self-enrichment.</p>



<p>“He understood that participation in government was not merely a technical or technocratic role. Rather, it was to advance the high public duty that the Constitution bestows on all of us: to uplift the poor, eliminate inequalities, fight racism, greed and corruption, and create a society where social justice and economic emancipation occur within a far-reaching transformation of our society.’’</p>



<p>Gordhan also briefly served as Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs from 2014 until 2015, and then as Minister of Public Enterprises from February 2018 until March this year when he retired.</p>



<p>“In the latter years of this service to the nation, and as a beacon of our fight against corruption, Pravin Gordhan stood up to derision and threats emanating from some in our nation who were scorched by his insistence that justice be dispensed against those who sought to undermine our democracy and raid our public resources and assets.’’</p>
