Pretoria - New South African finance minister Pravin Gordhan said on
Monday the government would do what was required in a fiscally
responsible way in procurement deals, including that for nuclear power
expansion.


Gordhan also said the government was not going to make "reckless
decisions" on spending and nobody need fear that fiscal policy was
moving in another direction.


There has been speculation that former finance minister Nhlanhla Nene
was axed last week because of his reluctance to rubber-stamp an
ambitious nuclear power stations plans.


Nene was replaced by David van Rooyen, a little-known backbencher who
only lasted four days in the job.
