Should Nhlanhla Nene resign?

Loading player...
Finance Minister Nhlanhla Nene has asked President Cyril Ramaphosa to relieve him of his duties. Reports say t that the finance minister approached the president over the weekend with the request. This comes as South Africans as well as political parties rejected his apology for previously undisclosed meetings with the Guptas at Saxonwold and their business premises in Midrand from 2010 to 2014. Serious questions are now being raised about Nene’s credibility, particularly over whether the Guptas had any role in his previous deployments as minister and deputy minister of finance, and whether he ever acted under their instruction.

Lebohang Pheko and Duma Gqubule join Gugulethu on the line to unpack this matter.
