Isn't it fun watching the ANC train wreck go full speed off the cliff? Everyone can see it's going to be a massive disaster, but they just keep going.

AFAIK a scrip dividend means you don't need to pay the 15% divvy tax. That's quite a bonus.

ANC NEC: "Brian Molefe must be removed from his role as Eskom chief executive, but his skill set must not be lost". Would that be his skill set in finding ways to make the Guptas richer?

Here's a conundrum which I just can't fathom the logic of the markets reaction to. Taste is instituting a claw back offer wherein existing shareholder can take up (on a ratio basis) additional shares at R 1.50 and that they will rank with the existing shares at the same par value. Now I can fathom that the share should move marginally lower than current prices to offset the greater quantity of shares in circulation. But surely the sellers would want to get a better price for their shares if they were selling based on the price of the share on the announcement date, which as the order of about R 1.95. However I see it is trading at about R 1.76. So buyers should theoretically pay more for the share right now to take advantage of being allocated shares and at the lower price, and they can then sell at a better price above the R 1.50 and make a small profit. I just find it strange that the market is seeing something that I am not seeing, because without a doubt I will follow my rights and take up the shares as the majority of their costs for conversion and the acquiring of the right to sell international product has been largely taken up in their last results released today
