Latest news from Eish-kom:

‘South Africa's power reserves are all but exhausted and rolling blackouts will be an inevitable part of life in the continent's most advanced economy for up to three years, state-run power utility Eskom warned on Thursday.

Eskom Chief Executive Tshediso Matona, who compared the situation to driving a badly maintained car which has almost no fuel left, told a news briefing that margins were razor thin and the loss of just 1,000 megawatts would trigger power outages.’

Sigh, ja boet.

To put in into perspective, extract from article http://businesstech.co.za/news/government/74752/state-owned-company-ceo-salaries/ dated 30 Nov 2014:

According to a parliamentary response to queries about the Eskom executive’s pay, last week, Public Enterprises Minister, Lynne Brown, noted that former Eskom boss, Brian Dames’ total pay for the 2013 financial year was in fact R22.78 million – higher than the R15.6 million listed in Eskom’s full year report.

Dames’ pay included a R5 million package at the end of his contract, R1.9 million in back pay – as well as a R1.92 million payout in long-term incentives.

In China, financial shares were slugged as Beijing cracked down on credit products that have been blamed for fuelling excessive market speculation over the past three months. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan erased early gains to be down 0.1 percent, even as markets across much of the region edged higher.

 Shortcovering helped lift the dollar to a one-week high against the yen on Tuesday after China growth data was not as bad as many feared, while the euro remained under pressure ahead of possible easing steps by the European Central Bank as early as this week

China's economy grew at its slowest pace in 24 years in 2014 as a cooling property market weighed on demand and is expected to lose more momentum this year, keeping pressure on policymakers to head off a sharper downturn. China's economy grew 7.4 percent in 2014, official data showed on Tuesday, barely missing its official 7.5 percent target but the slowest since 1990

Asian shares held near eight-week highs on Thursday as investors bet on the likely size and scope of a bond-buying program the European Central Bank is poised to unveil later in the day as it attempts to revive the flagging euro zone economy

The collapse of crude oil over the last year is one of the biggest asset crashes since the Great Recession and where there’s crisis, there’s often opportunity.
