A street trader counts out change for a customer in Durban, September 8, 2015. South Africa's rand firmed more than 1 percent against the dollar, recovering from record lows in the previous session as bets on a rate hike in United States faded due to worries over global growth. The rand rose 1.04 percent to 13.8150 per dollar. REUTERS/Rogan Ward - RTX1RMVH
