If you happen to be headed overseas any time soon you’re probably keeping a close eye on the whole Pravin Gordhan / Jacob Zuma saga.

If not then you should be, because how this one plays out will have a massive effect on how far your rands will go once you touch down at your given destination.

We can’t do much about the Hawks or Zuma or the ailing rand, as much as we’d love to, but we can try and save you some money getting to where you’re going.
