Organised business formations indicated on Monday that they would still participate in a November 2 civil-society protest rally in support of the Constitution, despite the announcement by National Director of Public Prosecutions Shaun Abrahams that he was withdrawing dubious fraud charges against Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan. In a joint statement, Business Unity South Africa, Business Leadership South Africa and the CEO Initiative welcome the withdrawal of the charges against Gordhan, and former South African Revenue Service officials Ivan Pillay and Oupa Magashula. However, they said that the decision to drop charges did not alter the decision of business leaders and organised business to participate in a protest action scheduled for Pretoria on Wednesday.
