JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - South Africa's ruling ANC party on Monday welcomed the reappointment of Pravin Gordhan as finance minister, saying it was an "explicit demonstration of a responsive and accountable government". Zuma late on Sunday restored widely respected Gordhan to the ministry in a dramatic about-face decision that gave Africa's most advanced economy its third finance minister in a week.
