SWIX was created to get rid of the "resource heavy" problem and in turn created an "industrial heavy" index. So in my mind SWIX performs better than the regular top 40 because 1.) resources aren't doing that great and 2.) Naspers and SAB

What !! South Africa's central bank unexpectedly cut its benchmark repo rate by 25 basis points to 6.75 percent on Thursday saying a near-term improvement in growth was unlikely but that the inflation outlook had improved

This will affect lots of expat South Africans, specially those working in low-income tax countries such as UAE etc etc.

I was born in Finland and never had SA citizenship. My wife is South African but as she emigrated officially, the proposed tax law does not affect her as she is no longer an SA resident. Her primary home is here in Portugal and she is registered for tax here.
It will only apply to SA tax residents working abroad.

No jaDEB, not upset, but reality is I have 2 boys and I don’t think they will be allowed to reach their full potential in peace here.  It’s sad ‘cause they are bright and dedicated and would have picked up all around them, but yeah. Sayonara.  

The NZ average number of deaths from Earthquakes is 15 per YEAR. The average number murders in South Africa is 49 per DAY! Is it really a hard choice?

Incidentally there are 46 people murdered in New Zealand per year as per last statistics, so you're still three times more likely to be murdered than die in an earthquake over there.

I think you missed something Hamster, the numbers for New Zealand were per year and SA were per day!

Your stats should look like this:
NZ: 0.000003191489362
SA: 0.0036906382978723

SA has over 1156 higher chance.
