President Cyril Ramaphosa is not prepared to speak out on Nene’s fate… yet.

President Cyril Ramaphosa has a lot on his plate this week.

Looks like Finance Minister Nhlanhla Nene is on his way out. Unfortunately, the rand is set to take a big knock as a result.

Nhlanhla Nene’s Gupta revelations relating to state capture have caused him a world of pain.

Embattled Cape Town mayor Patricia de Lille is back on the warpath and all the other news you need to know about.

A tough week for Nhlanhla Nene has ended with him making a full and frank apology to South Africans. But will it be accepted?

He’s been implicated in a dodgy deal regarding the PIC, state capture, and the Guptas. So who is Nhlanhla’s lad, Siyabonga Nene?

The EFF wants Nhlanhla Nene to step down as Minister of Finance.

A lot more damning allegations are about to be revealed this week.

According to the report, only 7% of all municipalities are functioning properly.

Mcebisi Jonas was expected to replace Nhlanhla Nene who was fired in December 2015.

Slow start to state-capture inquiry proceedings. Legal counsels present and key witnesses revealed.

If you could choose two people you’d want to dish the dirt on state capture, you’d go for Pravin Gordhan and Nhlanhla Nene.

Finance Minister Nhlanhla Nene will be meeting with the department and portfolio committee on Tuesday to discuss the financial impact of the new RABS bill.

The list of products set to be added to the VAT zero-rated list has finally been released by National Treasury.

Nhlanhla Nene believes that the R48bn will be enough to enact Cyril Ramaphosa’s stimulus package plan.

BONUS: That BRICS bank job never came to be… but you already knew that…

The Democratic Alliance has called on incoming Finance Minister Nhlanhla Nene to “reverse” the increase in VAT put forward in the budget speech.

Remember when President Zuma removed then Finance Minister Nhlanhla Nene? Well, Nene looks like he is about to become the new Chair of the Eskom board.

Who better to comment on Jacob Zuma’s renewed assault on Treasury than the man who got the T-shirt first.

An illuminating report puts the Guptas, Zuma and UK PR firm Bell Pottinger at the centre of what was allegedly an orchestrated campaign to divert attention away from state capture by shifting media focus to ‘white monopoly capital’.

The decision to give former Eskom CEO, Brian Molefe, a seat in the country’s parliament comes with the potential to cause great economic pain for South Africa.

“Tell me what is it that I have done wrong? And when I ask them, they run out of answers.” Well, we can think of a few. You know, off the top of our heads.

El presidente’s lashed out at those people who questioned his firing of former finance minister Nhlanhla Nene, and insisted all the fuss was caused by South Africans’ lack of understanding of the situation.

So it looks like the CEO of a company that reportedly has links the Guptas has had to flee the country, not long after revealing that his company’s top management knew of the plan to axe former finance minister Nhlanhla Nene.

Details of Mcebisi Jonas’ affidavit – submitted to the public protector for the state capture report – have been revealed.

When that report is eventually released… best get the popcorn ready, it seems.

Nobody wants you to literally ‘fall’, Mr president. Folks just want you to have your day in court and account for your actions over the last few years.

The Hawks are trying everything to build their case against Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan.

El presidente believes that the R99 billion the Public Investment Corporation lost within the first 48 hours of his decision to fire Nhlanhla Nene, was a “normal” economic phenomenon.

Defending his sacking of Nhlanhla Nene last year and appointment of Des van Rooyen as “the best candidate” for the job, Zuma went on a tirade against his critics; including those within the ANC.

Ah what a man! Fired from his job for no reason at all and still he takes a positive outlook on the whole thing; we really lost a great leader to the private sector.

Well sh**, there goes any chance of South Africans seeing a great civil servant do what he does best for the good of the country.

Remember when el presidente fired Nhlanhla Nene last year; dumped the economy into anarchy and cost the country around R500 billion? Well, that “BRICS job” Nene was apparently destined for never materialised.

South Africa is in the grip of multiple crises. It is not just the one brought on by the firing of Nhlanhla Nene in December, nor only the admission by Deputy Minister of Finance Mcebisi Jonas that the Gupta family offered him the post of Minister of Finance just before the financially disastrous removal of Nene.

He did it, he came clean. Mcebisi Jonas broke his silence and admitted to being offered the finance minister position by the Guptas. What’s that saying about things hitting the fan again?

El presidente might be focused on his State of the Nation (SONA) address on Thursday, but there’s the small matter of the opposition parties sharpening their teeth for him in the Constitutional Court on Tuesday before we can think of SONA.

Our ex-finance minister apparently put a stop to a little deal between SAA’s Dudu Myeni and mass-murderer Omar al-Bashir… which cost him his job.

El presidente maintains that he made the right decision when he fired Nene and believes that the markets overreacted and that people – economic experts with decades of experience included – exaggerated the situation.

South African Airways (SAA) chairperson Dudu Myeni has officially lost her battle to reconfigure the airline’s Airbus swap deal, which could have threatened the financial stability of SAA.

Recent Ipsos survey has found that the embattled Eskom enjoys more trust nationally than the one and only Jacob Zuma.

During his tenure, Zuma has displayed several characteristics typical of a person that is mentally challenged. But how can a man, having reached the echelon of the most powerful political movement in South Africa be an idiot? It doesn’t make sense!

Our ex finance minister Pravin Gordhan has replaced Nhlanhla Nene’s replacement just days after David van Rooyen replaced him; wait… what?

More and more current and former ANC members are adding their voices to the chorus of people speaking out against Jacob Zuma.

The English press have been scathing in their criticism of president Jacob Zuma after his sacking of finance minister Nhlanhla Nene.

The crux of Nene’s fall is not easy to decipher. But two factors seem to have driven the final nail into his professional coffin.

President Zuma seems to be the only person in South Africa who cannot see how firing Finance Minister Nene was a bad idea.

President Zuma’s decision to give his finance minister the boot has led to all sorts of reactions.

Ok so it’s no secret that the president yesterday got rid of a pretty decent finance minister and, in a spectacular display of cadre deployment, put a yes man in his place.

Economists believe Finance Minister Nhlanhla Nene was abruptly removed from his post on Wednesday for political reasons.

According to the experts, the ANC government is starving businesses and slowly cutting the hand that feeds.

Believe it or not, some good came out of the budget speech. The specialists have looked into it and together we’ve compiled everything you need to know as a Saffa abroad…

Ciggies, whiskey, wine and most importantly petrol is going back up folks. Oh and even though there’s not enough to go around, you’ll be paying more for electricity too.

SA President Jacob Zuma surprised business leaders and expats in the UK by pulling out of a conference in London which he was due to attend this week. While many call the no-show predictable, others are disappointed in the president crisscrossing their plans.

While some key indicators point decidedly towards negative economic trends, the government insists that SA’s finances are stable for the time being. The question behind all these discrepancies, however, is which came first: chicken or nest-egg?

Who could forget this viral mishap from 2008? Let’s hope Nene has better luck on screen this time around.
