Who to blame for ZAR? Brazil, Moody or Gordhan? Perhaps the bickering politicians?

Yup - Zuma acting like a petulant child and now getting his cohorts to start gouging Gordhan's eyes out. The drop in the Rand today is quite frightening.
Pity so few of the NEC have no backbone and are unable to see the wood for the trees
What is it with the ANC and its followers they seem hellbent on destroying things rather than improving or building new things.
Seems like the idiots and savages are running the show whether it be in parliament or universities with all this "this must fall" and "that must fall" hard work and dedication seems like an unholy word

Yes, it seems there is a war on in the ruling party. The President is a wounded animal, and therefore very dangerous. It might be a bit premature to say it, but I think JZ is losing the battle, and quite possibly his mind too. I'm thinking that if we get a court ruling against Zuma, either soon in terms of the constitutional court ruling on Nkandla, or at some point in the future related to the soon to be reinstated corruption charges that we'll see him recalled. I can no longer see him finishing this term.

'Hard work and dedication seem like and unholy word.' Seems to be the biggest problem with us millennials. We were raised in a very liberal world that told us that we are entitled to everything. We are a lost generation.

There are 2 issues that may well keep Zuma as president 1) The IEC may not be able to run elections this year even though legally they have to hold an election by latest August this year - reason Con Court has instructed IEC to obtain and record physical addresses for voters 2) Zuma is hugely popular in the rural areas because of his roots, so withdrawing him before the elections would create a problem for the ANC in terms of votes cast for them in these areas. Once the elections are squared off then there is every likelihood that he will be withdrawn. The problem is the ANC don't have a universally acceptable leader to replace Zuma as all of the punted candidates all have baggage Mbete - fraudulent drivers license via one John Block; Duarte - her husband had an accident in her state vehicle and she tried every trick in the book to hide the incident (car was written off if I recall correctly). Squirrel Cyril - has survived in business through BEE largesse but is not a competent business owner and has Marikana hanging over his head, Dlamini Zuma - supposedly will ensure no charges are laid against her ex husband and so will protect the guilty, also whilst holding her various portfolios whilst in government she was no ball of fire Home Affairs is still a shambles
So who does the ANC put forward is a serious problem - there are no competent leaders within the NEC/PEC - as a wild option maybe the sitting Minister of Finance should be given the job as he seems to have the country at heart but seen as too business friendly, but I do believe he could do the job and would have the creditability of foreigners and SA citizens alike
Just me views - now - on with researching how to squirrel money out of the country without raising alarm bells

Also Hawks backtracked and said they are not investigating Gordhan. And so Zuma loses another battle.

Zuma wants Gordhan to cooperate with Hawks - report

 
Cape Town - Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan will not receive any help from President Jacob Zuma relating to the so-called rogue unit at SA Revenue Service (Sars) at the time he was commissioner, according to City Press.

This despite the Presidency rejecting claims of a conspiracy against Gordhan and the African National Congress (ANC) issuing a formal statement of support for Gordhan.

The paper reported on Sunday that The Hawks are confident that they have a strong case against Gordhan, adding that Zuma was briefed by Police Minister Nathi Nhleko and Hawks head Major General Mthandazo Ntlemeza on the progress of the case at a meeting last month.

Zuma, who is said to believe that Gordhan should cooperate with investigators, was taken through the details of the case.

In a letter sent to Gordhan last Friday, Gordhan was given until Wednesday to hand-deliver his responses to 27 questions over his involvement with the formation of the so-called rogue unit at Sars.

Secretary General Gwede Mantashe said the ruling party was "extremely concerned" about reports that the Hawks sent questions to Gordhan four days before his Budget Speech about his knowledge of a rogue unit.

However, Zuma's office indirectly hit back at Mantashe, saying it "noted rumours and gossip which insinuate some conspiracy" against the finance minister.
