As with many other ANC members in high office, Godongwana has a shadow of corruption following him, which is not ideal.

In August 2012, an inquiry into an investment company, Canyon Springs, which lost textile workers’ pension funds, found that Godongwana and his wife, who owned 50% of Canyon Springs, was among those who “were party to the carrying on of the business of the company, either fraudulently or at least recklessly,” Wayne Duvenage, CEO of Outa, points out.

“We are not aware of the Canyon Springs inquiry report being overturned. He was deputy minister of economic development and resigned soon thereafter,” said Duvenhage.Economists who spoke to The Citizen all agreed that Godongwana is not as well-known as Mboweni and that the president had better candidates to choose from.

He says while South Africans did not get the cabinet of national healing they needed, he acknowledges that Godongwana has standing in the party, but that will mean nothing if he does not ensure financial and fiscal stability. He says Godongwana is a big-wig in the ANC backrooms, strong in the ANC and caucuses, which means that it will be easier for him to get what he wants, although he will not say ‘no’ easily. “He will have to make big choices to split the small amount of money the country has. Luckily the ministry is very competent with a lot of institutional memory in the central bank as well as national treasury.

Peter Attard Montalto, head of capital markets research at Intellidex, believes Mboweni was forced out by the SACP and Cosatu with the President’s approval and did not in fact resign. He describes Godongwana as a complex character and a strategic player, who was the ‘best choice available who half-wanted the job’.
