Let's make this birthday one to remember.

76 years old (Born on April 12, 1949)

Happy Birthday, Pravin Gordhan! From crunching numbers as South Africa's Minister of Finance (2009-2014) to steering the ship at Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs, you've proven that budgets and bureaucracy can indeed have a sense of humor. Who else could make tax collection look so effortlessly cool?

Your steadfast leadership at the South African Revenue Service set standards high enough to give accountants everywhere envy. Today, we celebrate your tireless dedication, sharp wit, and ability to navigate political storms with grace—and perhaps a calculator in hand. Here's wishing you another year filled with success, laughter, and perfectly balanced spreadsheets!
