Treasury lashes Floyd Shivambu and EFF after 'ignorant' attack.

It was a "figment of the Economic Freedom Fighters' imagination" that Treasury deputy director general Ismail Momoniat had "usurped the powers of the minister‚ the director-general and other fellow deputy director generals"‚ Treasury said in a statement on Thursday.
The department was responding to comments made by EFF chief whip Floyd Shivambu during a finance committee meeting on Tuesday. Shivambu objected to the repeated presence of Momoniat at finance committee meetings‚ saying this undermined African leadership.
He questioned why director general Dondo Mogajane or other senior officials did not attend committee meetings.
Treasury noted that the finance ministry and Treasury were required to have "thick skins" given the role they played in budget planning and processes within government and so would not normally respond to all attacks directed at them. However it was necessary in this case to respond.
"The attack on the integrity of the Ministry of Finance and National Treasury by the EFF is exceptional because of its vitriol and simply the scale of the EFF’s ignorance of the workings of the Treasury and the ministry‚" Treasury said.
