Positive sentiment slides on Twitter after news of imminent arrest of #PravinGordhan

As the rand took a dive over a fear that Finance Minster Pravin Gordhan faced arrest in an escalation of the “Sars Wars”‚ so too did positive sentiment on social media. #PravinGordhan was the top-trending topic on Twitter on Wednesday as the currency slid against the dollar in the morning‚ extending its sharp overnight losses after the Treasury confirmed the receipt of a letter from the Hawks‚ asking Gordhan to present himself to the Hawks on Thursday morning.
