Posted on Leave a comment

The ruling Anc party,was holding a rally in Kimberley celebrating its 108 years.This celebration, which is usually accompanied by a jovial mood of song and dance by party leaders, members and supporters, happens during a time when the country has been plunged into several crises of epidemic proportions. Can the ANC really afford to celebrate? Can it afford to pop Champagne during such difficult times faced by the country?

Poverty levels are accelerating, inequality is deepening, unemployment levels have reached the highest percentage of 29.1% in the last quarter of 2019, the highest recorded by Statistics SA since 2008, with 9.6 million South Africans currently unemployed, 8.6 million of these being black.

The economy is battling to recover from a technical recession, with the country constantly facing a threat of being given junk status by rating agencies.

One of the major crises facing the country is the power utility Eskom, which has struggle

ANC regime has driven SA to junk status – GDP drops by 0.6% in 3rd quarter – SA is going to struggle to get rid of its economic crisis

Posted on Leave a comment

The financial decline that continues in South Africa has given the business sector reason to become more concerned about future business activities in most business areas.

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) declined by 0.6% in the third quarter of 2019, according to the Statistics Service’s report.

Calculated on a year-to-year basis, this is seen as a downturn that the economy has now stagnated, thereby having serious consequences for job creation.

The government hoped for a 1.5% growth rate, but economists warned that the target could not be achieved if sufficient new jobs were not created.

South Africa is now in a junk status phase, and although Moody’s is the only rating agency still trying to hide it, it’s clear that in the next decade the country will struggle to get rid of its economic crisis.

Junk Status looms – Implementation of NHI will have disastrous consequences for SA economy

Posted on Leave a comment

AfriForum today sent a letter to President Cyril Ramaphosa, Finance Minister Tito Mboweni and Minister of Health Zweli Mkhize warning the civil rights organization that the implementation of national health insurance (NHI) could eventually lead to the downgrading of the country’s credit rating to junk status .

This comes after the credit rating agency Moody’s recently downgraded South Africa’s credit rating from a stable to a negative outlook. The reason for this downgrade according to Mood is the bleak growth prospects and growing public debt. In its letter, AfriForum argues that unaffordable, ideological policies such as the NHI will lead to South Africa being downgraded to junk status, as the country simply cannot fund it.

“To continue with the implementation of the NHI will not only be disastrous for the South African economy; it will also inflate government debt to levels that will make it impossible to escape the downgrade to

ANC regime threatens financial survival of SA, Government debt increases every day

Posted on Leave a comment

The ANC government is extremely dangerous and threatens the financial survival of South Africa, as its eagerness to lend remains unsaturated.

This is the opinion of an economic adviser following the SA Reserve Bank’s announcement that government debt is rising faster than provided by any institution.

The government’s total loan debt has risen to a breathtaking level of just over 58% of the annual budget.

Experts point out that South Africa has now reached the point where Moody’s can no longer turn its head, and even if that were to happen, it is an undeniable reality that the country has landed deep into the abyss of being subjected to junk status, and may not be coming out of it again soon.

Taxpayers will now have to bailout the Ramaphosa regime after Moody lost patience with SA’s poor economic situation and proposes a tax increase

Posted on Leave a comment

The poor economic conditions, unemployment, little foreign interest, the land grab program, Eskom and other entities’ financial inability are all reasons why the country is in such a mess.

Moody’s has pointed out to the ANC-regime that it will have to raise taxes to fix the mess at Eskom, which is the first step to a series of tax hikes.

With the SABC, Denel, SAL, Eskom, and several other entities failing to be a profitable industry as it was years ago, the regime is pushing to raise taxes.

The poor decision to launch a National Health Plan while the country is in junk status is considered to be one of the stupidest decisions the Ramaphosa regime has yet made, which will also lead to astronomical increases in taxes.

Moving out of professional corps such as doctors, nursing staff, lawyers and others is the strongest indication that the country is heading for an enormous crisis that cannot be reversed.
