News24 Business front pageSouth Africa’s rand is on track for a sixth consecutive week of declines versus the dollar — but there are indications the selloff may be about to ease.

Investors largely welcomed Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana’s plan for embattled Eskom, which spurred a brief rally in the rand and the biggest foreign bond inflows in nearly two weeks on Thursday.
