    Zuma broke his silence.
    The statement said that it was all planned.

    You bet it has been all planned, he is now trying to mislead everyone by stating

    Jacob Zuma, the president explained Nene's axing as a move to send him to Shanghai as the country's nomination for the head of the African Regional Centre of the BRICS bank.

    Now we have an "old" new finance minister in Pravin Gordhan. After PW's "Rubicon" the rand never recovered to levels prior to that speech in Durban.

    After this newest shuffle i am now wondering if the Rand will recover to levels prior to Zumas's Rubicon.

    There was heavy behind the scenes goings on, if this is true Cyril also played Russian roulette.
    On Saturday, talk that Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa would resign was gaining ground. Ramaphosa had not been seen since Nene’s firing and did not attend Van Rooyen’s swearing-in ceremony. Both Ramaphosa and Nene had worked on the SAA turnaround together and speculation was that Nene had dug in his heels on the Airbus deal after having consulted Ramaphosa. This raised questions about the state of the relationship between Zuma and Ramaphosa.

    If Ramaphosa had walked, the market was destined for a crash as he was brought in as Zuma’s deputy specifically to calm investors and big business.

    I definitely got a sense of deja vu this morning when I saw the news

    Quite clearly our President miscalculated. Will he survive now that the rashness of his decision to sack Nene and his failed bluster to cover it up has been exposed?

    I almost recovered some trust in the government, but then I realised that these are the same idiots who defended the buffoon on the Nkandla issue, the SAA, the SABC, the nuclear deal, the arms deal etc etc etc...

    What surprised me with the new/old minster is he seemed to be adamant about not taking nonsense from the SOEs or government departments.

    Will this just be bluster or for real?
