Questions have been circulating on social media about whether Gordhan had a university qualification. Some accounts suggested he did not.
Gordhan has come under fire - with the EFF calling for his head - after Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane found on Friday that the establishment of the South African Revenue Service (Sars) "rogue unit" violated the constitution.

PRAVIN JAMNANDAS GORDHAN DOES NOT HAVE A DIPLOMA IN PHARMACY OR ANY POST MATRIC QUALIFICATION, BUT ONLY MATRIC@FloydShivambu or @MmusiMaimane can ask for the copy
It is now crystal clear that #PravinGordhan is degree-less and diploma-less. @UKZN is blatantly refusing to answer my questions pertaining to Pravin Gordhan's qualifications. We must put more pressure comrades. You can support this by retweeting. #PravinMustFall pic.twitter.com/YG41WlHiWL
