Zuma's sacking of respected finance minister Pravin Gordhan last week has fanned public anger, divisions within the ruling ANC party and a sharp decline in investor confidence in the country. Zuma has also been accused of being in the sway of the wealthy Gupta business family, allegedly granting them influence over government appointments, contracts and state-owned businesses. / AFP PHOTO / GULSHAN KHAN        (Photo credit should read GULSHAN KHAN/AFP via Getty Images)"}
