South Africa finance minister told to report to police - report

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - South African Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan has been ordered to report to a police investigative unit known as the "Hawks" by Thursday over allegations relating to a rogue tax unit, the Daily Maverick online news service said on Tuesday. The rand fell nearly three percent after the story was published but was one percent weaker by 1619 GMT. A Hawks spokesman said he "knows nothing" about the report.
