The South African Rand rose back against the U.S. dollar in the
European session on Tuesday, as South Africa's ruling African
National Congress formally ordered President Jacob Zuma to leave
office amid corruption allegations.
At the ANC's executive committee meeting in Pretoria, the party
officials decided to recall Zuma and gave him 48 hours to step
down.
If Zuma rejects the order, he would be expelled through a
parliamentary vote of no-confidence scheduled next week.
The rand rose back to 11.87 against the greenback, compared to
Monday's closing value of 11.93. If the rand rises further, 10.00
is possibly seen as its next resistance level.
