The record level was thanks to high commodity prices that gave the ailing domestic economy a much-needed boost. The higher tax revenue generated from this -albeit lower than 2021- will probably increase government’s expected surplus and give the finance minister, Enoch Godongwana, much more wiggle room as the National Treasury figures out how to balance the scales ahead of the 2022/23 budget speech in a couple of weeks.
Baxter said: “If the rail network was operating at nameplate capacity, with a few minor enhancements, South Africa would realise R151 billion more in bulk mineral sales.”We remain concerned about the worsening constraints in rail and port logistics, which means we have yet again forfeited the benefits of high commodity prices and demand, as well as inadequate electricity supply.

It will be looted by greedy capitalists, the very masterminds & beneficiaries of apartheid. The Germans severely punished those who committed crimes against humanity but in SA, same devils are looting SA with provocation. Which party will unseal CODESA & punish these thieves?
Mining saves the day..... MiningIndaba2023
Where is the money? We are sick & tired of these astronomical figures that are being branded around but we have nothing to show for it. The discussion should now be shifting to answer this question. What will it take for South Africans to be impacted by this mineral economy.
