 Finance Minister Malusi Gigaba  has denied making such a request  which drew sharp criticism from opposition parties and civil society.
 Gigaba  said in a statement on Friday  he  was concerned about the âpoliticisationâ of the PIC and asked its management to conduct a âforensic investigationâ into its operations.
âWe need to assure pension holders that those with political or economic power will not be allowed to unduly influence the PIC â  Gigaba  said.
 Gigaba  also asked the PIC to provide a list of all  its  beneficiaries and the investments  it  has made.
