“Well without a doubt it is not received very well in the financial markets. Not only have they been terrified in the last few weeks about the increased incidents of load shedding and its implications for overall economic growth and tax revenue collection. But now further that the power utility, which is at the heart of the South African economy, is rudderless,“ says Jammine.

“We will challenge him for saying our party is corrupt and failing to prove how, I am not going to wait for some parliamentary committee to summon him for that. We will take action and I am going to write to him through our lawyers, he must prove within 10 or seven days what he said.., we will meet in court. I challenge him he must name those people who he said are corrupt, then he must deal with them himself.”Eskom has been struggling to keep the lights on.

The truth is uncomfortable. And the MYANC needs to be hit where it hurts most. Financially and by forcing transparency in their shady dealings.

Our journalist have mediocre questioning and investigating. No aggression and passion

So just by ignoring bad facts makes it non-existant? Good strategy 👍🏻🤦🏻‍♂️

His my hero, we forgot that Ramaposa went and sold us at Joe Biden no long ago..

Just know wherever you GO Amigos your stupid evil Ramaphosa he is going to pay a price for your head 🗣️ for exposing his evil mafia tactics about destroying the Republic of South Africa through Loadshedding NationalShutdown but Бог поможет нам победить злую русскую армию

And the financial markets are receiving eight hour load shedding well? They were quiet all this time. The next thing we will start hearing from dead rating agencies. We've seen this circus before. Nothing new, they must sit down: on the toilet I mean.

🤣 🤣 🤣 How does SABC interview an economist on a legal issue 🤣expects of jurisprudence would have said something different. how/why do market react over untested allegation yet markets did not react over Phala Phala matter

The danger here Is a civil war. This is deeper than what we hear

“…have not been well received”, why? Because it’s true?

😂😂😂😂😂Did market's behave the same way when Brian and Koko were dismissed? Even when Brian spoke about criminal activities at Eskom markets were not reactive... Why now?
