Rand slumps, breaching R8/dollar

Johannesburg - The rand extended losses against the dollar on Wednesday, touching a three-and-a-half week low as renewed worries about growth prospects in Europe dented risk appetite.

The rand fell as much as 1.34% to R8.0020 to the greenback, its weakest level since April 16 according to Reuters data.
