About GBP/ZAR
Many South Africans earn, save or receive pensions in pounds, which makes GBP/ZAR one of the most-watched rand crosses. The rate is driven by Bank of England interest-rate decisions, UK inflation and growth data, and of course the same global risk mood that moves the rand. "Cable" (GBP/USD) is the pound's main pair: when cable rises and USD/ZAR rises at the same time, GBP/ZAR can jump sharply.
Traders in South Africa usually find GBP pairs most active from 09:00 SAST (London open) to about 18:00 SAST. See forex sessions in SA time.
