Former Minister Pravin Gordhan will be laid to rest on Thursday, in a category 2 Special Official Funeral.

The Presidency announced on Monday that Gordhan’s funeral will take place in Durban, at the Inkosi Albert Luthuli International Convention Center, at 10:00, followed by a private cremation.

Gordhan passed away at the age of 75 in the early hours of September 13, following a period of illness.

Scores of tributes have since poured in for the activist and retired politician from political party leaders, business leaders and State organisations that Gordhan had headed up.

Thursday’s funeral service will see the South African Police Service perform ceremonial elements.

“Mr Gordhan’s family has requested that in lieu of floral tributes, mourners offer donations to charities of their choice, or the Ahmed Kathrada Foundation,” the Presidency said.
