Accept that over the last 5 years the economy in RSA has been in decline, we have a worsening exchange rate, and and GDP is growing at less than 1%. Then we had a change in president who regrettably is nothing more than a windbag - just shows his gifted enterprises taught him nought about business and economics - so we have a present who is nothing more than a goffer for the ANC.
Somewhere I read today that since November last year foreigners and saffers have taken R 400 billion out of RSA and there is little chance of the country receiving foreign investor funds unless stringent conditions are met. Elephant in the room is China who could invest heavily in this country but again they will demand concession and conditions that would make a smarty box look opaque.
When the political situation gets to an equilibrium then only are we likely to see some growth, forex investment and other good things happening in this country.
When the government have the courage to charge fraudsters (many of their own party members), jail the people and get the trade unions to wind in their necks on stupid wage demands with no evident productivity gains, then and only then will we see this country revert to a great place to work and live in.
