PRETORIA – South Africa’s outgoing Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan said on Friday an intelligence report President Jacob Zuma used as justification to fire him was “absolute nonsense”.

Gordhan also said during a televised press conference in Pretoria on Friday that he had been “sickened” by allegations that he had secret meetings to undermine the government during an investor roadshow abroad.
