De Ruyter has an impossible task of saving bankrupt Eskom

Posted on Leave a comment

The fact that Eskom is in a bad position is common knowledge, and this news are reaching investors abroad. The dire condition of SA’s economy makes investors hesitant to invest in the country since they will be risking their money in the maze.

After the ANC regime finally realized, after 25 years of mismanagement, that they needed to find a competent person to get rid of the mess, Andre de Ruyter was appointed to the unenviable position.

His statements about Eskom are by no means flattering, and how such an enormous debt burden will be worked out, providing constant, sustainable power to the whole country, was asked too much from one person.

His meeting with the Eskom directors on Wednesday is likely to deal with the many “unplanned maintenance” that needs to be done, and clearly shows that regular checking of equipment is not done.

This is one of the main reasons why Eskom cannot provide sustainable power supplies, and expe

S&P Global, which downgraded SA to junk status, warns ANC government that it will not be easy to restore land

Posted on Leave a comment

The ratings agency S&P Global, which has legitimately downgraded the country to junk status, since 2017, has warned the ANC regime, saying the path of recovery is not reachable with the clap of fingers.

The agency also points out that the possibility of another downgrade in two weeks is not ruled out because of the dire position in which South Africa finds itself.

The Managing Director of S&P Global Sub-Saharan Africa, Konrad Reuss, was a guest speaker at the Consumer Goods Council Conference in Johannesburg, which was held at the same time as Ramaphosa’s conference where billions of Rand’s promises were made, the bulk of which were made usually does not become reality.

Reuss emphasized that the agency could further downgrade the country in November’s assessment, which would further hamper investors and investment.

SA, the country once known as the most prosperous one on the African continent, is downgraded by Moody’s to position near to junk status

Posted on Leave a comment

While Cyril Ramaphosa delights in the Rugby players’ victory in Japan, Moody’s downgraded the country’s financial position near to junk status.

In the next 12 to 18 months, the Ramaphosa regime will have to implement good plans otherwise there will be another major setback for the country that was once known as the most prosperous one on the continent.

Moody’s is the last of the three major rating agencies to still show patience and not like Standard & Poor, as well as Fitch had previously seen the SA economy as a loser, and downgraded the country to junk status.

It is now becoming increasingly difficult for SA to borrow money, and investors are now more than ever hesitant to invest in a poor economic environment.

The ANC regime now wants to loot your pension money to save their struggling state entities

Posted on Leave a comment

TAU SA expressed concern about the statements made on public forums by the ANC government where advocacy is being made to use SA’s pension capital for investment in so-called fixed assets. The size of the exit funds can make a huge impact on the national economy; according to the 2017 annual report of the pension fund registrar, the total assets of pension funds currently amount to R4.2 billion, where public sector pension funds (GEPF) make up 40% of the total amount.

According to TAU SA, the only two remaining assets on which the regime can further tarnish are land and pensions. Everyone is aware of the ANC’s plan to expropriate land without compensation. The writing is now also on the wall for South Africa’s pension money. Kobus Oberholster, Head of TAU SA’s Financial Wellness Desk says they can’t sit still and allow our people’s hard-earned pension, built up over decades, to be dumped into bottomless pits of Eskom, SAA, PRAS

Thanks to the ruling ANC regime, SA’s economy outlook is getting worse with Eskom already plunging the country deeper into debt

Posted on Leave a comment

In an exclusive interview conducted by Die Vryburger with a well-known political analyst, it seems that 2019 is not a year of good prospects.

The anonymous expert says the projections are getting darker with Eskom, who is already plunging the country into debt with loadshedding.

In addition to the enormous R2 billion it cost daily to endure load shedding, it has a very negative impact on potential investors abroad.

The recession in which SA is currently, along with the tremendous debt burden of the state, forces the Finance Minister to take unfavorable measures to balance the scale, but cannot tamper with it because the election is at the door.

He says there is no reason to think that it will improve in the economic sphere in the second half of 2019, because the Rand is doubtful, gold mines are shaky because of the power supply’s load shedding, and this increases the possibility of higher unemployment. means that less personal tax i

South Africa following Zimbabwe into ruin? – The Zimbabwe economy is in chaos and disease is breaking out all over the place. Like Mugabe, the SA politicians are sucking our country dry and it is heading towards being just another black failed state

Posted on Leave a comment

In this video by ‘Loving Life’ we see that the parallel paths of South Africa and Zimbabwe are very similar. The only winners in this scenario are the politicians.

The video looks at how Mugabe took over a very economically sound country in 1980 and brought it to its knees. The similarities of corruption, expropriation of land from white farmers, the complete collapse of industry and investors fleeing are undeniable. The video reflects on the situation as it is now in Zimbabwe and how the people are starving!

The Zimbabwe economy is in chaos and disease is breaking out all over the place.  Like Mugabe, thew South African politicians are sucking the country dry.

We see that in 1994 the media used Zimbabwe as an example

ANC’s double talk – Ramaphose and Magashule’s statements on the independence of the Reserve Bank contradict each other and are damaging the confidence of investors – There is no doubt that the ANC-regime is leading SA to a downfall

Posted on Leave a comment

The ANC president, Cyril Ramaphosa and Magashule’s statements about the independence of the Reserve Bank, clearly contradict each other.

While Ramaphosa is trying to reassure voters as well as the outside world that the Reserve Bank will remain independent, his fellow companion is confusing investors.

He said in a statement that the Reserve Bank would be nationalized over the next five years.

Economists declare that the ANC’s election manifesto is a call for investors to secure their money. The manifesto does not outline a positive image for investors, banks and pension funds and insurers.

Investors do not want to invest in SA since our national power provider is so unreliable – Communists now demand the end of load shedding after it has already cost the country billion Rand in recent weeks

Posted on Leave a comment

ANC, SAKP, Cosatu and Sanco are now demanding the end of load shedding in South Africa.

It is ironic that the people in charge of the country, that is, the ruling ANC party, its alliance partner, the SA Communist Party and unionists now demand that the shedding of power must be discontinued.

The ANC’s Zizi Kodwa issued a statement on behalf of the parties in which statecapture and corruption is blamed as well as Eskom’s incompetence to thrive. During the meeting of partners, the failure of local government was criticised as well as the inability to provide basic services.

In terms of power, the country has already spent billions of Rand in recent weeks, and Ramaphosa’s efforts to attract investors are being harmed by the power supply that is extremely unreliable.
