i was in China during Trump 1.0 tariffs. i had no doubt they would have little effect. They allowed currency to depreciate and increased support for new industries. Trump 2.0 will also have little effect on the economy. China's economy grew by 5.2% during Q2 after 5.4% during Q1.

The water situation in Jozi is dire. As i always say things were never this bad under Jacob Zuma. and the idiotic solution is look to private sector to solve every problem in society and have independent water producers.

agree. I don't understand this obsession with inflation when we never had a problem in 25 years since inflation targeting. we must obsess about jobs.
A lower unemployment rate should be the target; it hurts the poor more.

Yes the mineral resources of SA belong to the people of SA. Not the companies who mine them. At the national dialogue they will not want to hear us say that.
Chris is a shining example of stupidity. The Norwegian people have $1,7 trillion saved in their sovereign wealth fund because they nationalised their mineral resources. A far more beneficial model than the countries who privatised their mineral resources and whose people have.

Trump has more press conferences in a month than president CR has had in more than seven years.
The media should push for questions and for real press briefings. Donald Trump is taking questions on an almost daily basis in the Oval Office. It’s about openness, transparency and accountability. SA media was able to ask Trump questions in the White House in a manner we.

Yes ANC has spent 31 years finding lame excuses not to implement the Freedom Charter. And 13 years blue-ticking the National Development Plan macroeconomic policy targets.
Which has never been implemented. So how about we start by implementing the Freedom Charter first. .

Here is my second take on the Capitec fake jobs stats debate. It is sad that so many ministers went to meet the CEO despite the fact that he was talking rubbih. DUMA GQUBULE: Jobless debate reveals ignorance over how statistics work via @BusinessLiveSA.

i do not understand what is so difficult about growing the economy and creating jobs. You can't keep implementing failed neoliberal economic policies. It is simple the govt must end austerity and insane monetary policies and start investing in its people and infrastructure.
[HAPPENING NOW] .President Cyril Ramaphosa is speaking to the Group of Eminent Persons at the Union Buildings. He says the National Dialogue is an opportunity to tackle and discuss the country's economic challenges.
