Cape Town - Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan has been the target of a sponsored advert criticising his court application against Gupta-owned Oakbay.

For a while the first thing that appeared when typing "Pravin Gordhan" in a Google search on a mobile device was a sponsored advertisement of an Oakbay Investments media statement published on Black Opinion.

This website is purportedly managed by the Black First Land First movement that was founded by Andile Mngxitama, who was expelled from the Economic Freedom Fighters. The website features content taking aim at the media, politicians, political parties and business people.
