Johannesburg - Calls for an investigation are growing into the so-called intelligence report, cited as the basis for removing Pravin Gordhan as Finance Minister.


eNCA reports that United Democratic Movement's leader, Bantu Holomisa, has asked the Intelligence Portfolio Committee to demand an explanation from State Security Minister, David Mahlobo. 

ANC Secretary General, Gwede Mantashe, said Gordhan's sacking was due to an irretrievable breakdown in the relationship between the president and Gordhan. 

Speaker of Parliament, Baleka Mbete, said Zuma motivated his decision, not just with a questionable intelligence report, but with thorough historic background.  

However, Mahlobo said he doesn't know of any intelligence report. 

The Minister of Defence, Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula, has also called for an investigation.
