Gordhan oversees state entities including struggling power utility Eskom and logistics firm Transnet, whose poor performances have dragged down economic growth in Africa's most industrialised economy.

An anti-apartheid veteran, he has been in politics since the beginning of South Africa's democracy and previously served as finance minister.
