I can see the candle, but what does it indicate: Rand possibly getting stronger or weaker

The pair is USD/ZAR so the first currency in the pair is USD. The action of the candle reflects the first mentioned currency and in this case it was a long red candle that shows the USD had weakened against the ZAR.
Had it been ZAR/USD then the candle would have been in the opposite direction (up) and green showing the ZAR had strengthened.
I started here with nothing and still have most of it left.

I forgot to mention that the chart I posted was a 3 minute candle chart. So every candle takes 3 minutes to complete. Candles can be red and green, red and blue or white and black.

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - South Africa's Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan has been told to return home from an international roadshow by President Jacob Zuma, Talk Radio 702 said on Monday. The rand fell as much as 0.5 percent following the report, while bonds weakened sharply.

Indeed. It means cabinet reshuffle imminent.

Go 50/50 on everything. It's the only way.

And just to confirm, you had confidence in ANC and Zuma? But I hope they do not fire Mr Gordhan. I like him, and he does not deserve it.
