Zuma kicked Gordhan where it really hurts
If I were Minister of Finance Pravin Gordhan or his predecessor Nhlanhla Nene, then President Jacob Zuma’s statement that Des van Rooyen (who served only four days as finance minister because of pressure brought to bear on Zuma to recall him) is the most qualified of all the finance ministers that he ever appointed, then to me it would have felt like a concomitant punch in the gut, a kick in the testes and a slap in the face.

Did Zuma not realise the full impact of that thoughtless statement? Or is he impervious to the insults he dishes out?
