Cape Town – Fin24 ran a Twitter poll, asking users if they thought Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan would be fired during a cabinet reshuffle.
Many users felt that his job was indeed on the line, while others still found humour.
Talk of a cabinet change came at the same time as Gordhan's legal team faced off with 14 Gupta-owned companies over the blacklisting of their bank accounts by South Africa’s top four banks.
The case in the North Gauteng High Court drew much attention around South Africa.
Have a look at the responses:
User Dudley Long said "sadly he'll be fired".
@Fin24 sadly, i think he will be fired

@Fin24 unfortunately yes. Zuma's hand in the destruction of SA inc. is directly proportional to Gordhan's hand in its rebuilding.
