Pravin Gordhan was not told late last night he had been replaced as President Jacob Zuma effected a far-reaching Cabinet reshuffle.

The move follows a meeting of the ANC’s top six on Thursday night at which Zuma informed them of his decision, Business Day reported.
Former Finance Minister, Pravin Gordhan

Home Affairs Minister Malusi Gigaba replaced Gordhan as finance minister. Gordhan's deputy, Mcebisi Jonas, is being replaced by Sfiso Buthelezi‚ who joined Parliament in March 2016.

Gordhan’s removal is set to have far-reaching consequences for Zuma and the ANC. Gigaba is seen as a close ally of the president and is among his loyalists in the current Cabinet. But there was not much detail as the Presidency made the special announcement late on Thursday night.

Zuma had delayed his planned reshuffle for three days, but his move on Thursday night could be taken as an indication that he had made a decision on the various objections raised. Zuma effected the move despite pressure piling up on him. - Times Live
