Electricity is our biggest problem: Finance Minister

The lack of sufficient electricity is the most binding constraint to production and investment in South Africa.

After reading comments on the forum I would say that Government policies are the biggest stumbling blocks for production and investment in South Africa.

It's the most prominent symptom at the moment, yes.

Ditto, the corrupt, incompetent and lazy-arsed cANCer government is the biggest problem that SA has.

 

[grok]

Corruption & incompetence is.

Frikken aye .... the ANC and its chief are the BIGGEST problem, followed by the doff people that vote for the ANC.

In order of importance:

Strikes
Labour laws heavily biased to workers.
Electricity issues.
Corrupt Governance.
Property ownership questions - government promulgating stupid idea's like 50% of your mines/farms belong to us.
Stability of the Rand (mostly due to all of the above)

Strikes - ANC labour laws
Labour laws heavily biased to workers. - ANC re write
Electricity issues. - ANC policy of keep lights on for World Cup coupled with racial quotas
Corrupt Governance. - ANC cadre deployment and enrichment
Property ownership questions - government promulgating stupid idea's like 50% of your mines/farms belong to us. - ANC created expectations vs stark reality
Stability of the Rand (mostly due to all of the above) - ANC policy of BBBEE and poor state services run by the ANC

Common problem
ANC

I’m usually very optimistic but it doesn’t look good. What would you recommend to sweeten the situation?

I would say the voting public is the problem. They after all selected these retards as the best.

EDIT:

The danger to South Africa is not Jacob Zuma but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of a Zuma presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Zuma, who is a mere symptom of what ails South Africa. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Jacob Zuma, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their President.
