KPMG South African bosses quit 

By far the biggest story on Friday was news that KPMG's South African bosses had resigned following the fallout of work the auditing firm had done for the Gupta family. 

KPMG South Africa CEO Trevor Hoole, chief operating officer Steven Louw, chairperson Ahmed Jaffer and five senior executives all resigned on Friday. 

The auditor also withdrew its South African Revenue Service "rogue unit" report, and even offered to pay back the R23 million fee it received for the report, or "make a donation for the same amount to charity".
