Mantashe blasts Shell and BP for shutting down Sapref

Lets see, lots and lots of red tape, non business centric attitudes and of course government wants to tell private companies who and how they hire people.

Yip. and now they're doubling down on that labour strategy by forcing reduction of foreign workers.
 
The ANC is so ideologically challenged that they think business is a charity. What nonsense! Worse, they think the government must be everything to everyone, like parents to a child. Now they want to add another SOE to their spectacular list of failures. When will SA's learn and vote them out
 
Wtf?!...is the pot calling the kettle black now?! Oh, my apologies, 'calling it white' I should've typed..
 
The primary objective of any company is to report positive earnings and a viable future. ANC cannot provide either. There is little to zero security, massive Government interference in how a Company is allowed to be structured (BEE or whatever you may call it) The supply chain is unreliable, logistics a nightmare, massive criminality and a culture of corruption and theft, and all this for very low returns. I would not hesitate to shut down an operation is there were better areas to operate. Tough on the people who lose their jobs, but normally, those who are proven capable will be transferred to the "new" operation or elsewhere.

In its wildest dreams, SA will be lucky if it only gets 0.005% electric transport. These vehicles are too expensive, out of reach of at least 95% of the population. Maintenance are extremely expensive. Lack of charging capapcity, short distances one can achieve with these vehicles, time it takes to charge them, makes this not a viable option for a country like SA.

Right, and where will the power come from. as our network is already constrained, overloaded and just generally in a state of ruin. Nice excuse for not getting to work - sorry, was unable to charge my car because of load-shedding☺
