And our government talk additional fuel and wealth taxes.
Eventually there will be no wealth to tax.

By my estimation, and only where economic policy improves to promote open and accessible competition in the market will the circumstances improve in ~2 years. The problem is that there is an election in the way so ~4 years to experience a plausible incremental improvement. There is a lot weighing on this, we are also challenged by load shedding in addition to global pressures.

But hey, a Cabral doctrine was very publicly called upon :cautious: I don't see policy improving to be honest. The state wants to realise their NDP plans, aligned with their ideology, and it can be more elobaretly aligned with newly promoted BRICS initiatives.

I remain in the view that we need to call on capitalism, and then once we have rebuilt to deeper align our social policies.

Better vote smart people, even with a regime change it will take 4-8 years to notice 'corrections'.

Yes, we know.

Ramen noodles and brown bread with water.
oh La-de-da, looks who has water, bread and noodles.
But in all seriousness, you could actually mix n match with those ingredients.
Leave the bread out one day, then do bread and water, then noodles and bread. Then water and water, and so on and so forth

The fat cat mybroadband community can afford to snigger, but I suspect it is grim news for others.
It is grim news.

Expecting my house payment to increase by R600.

What the reserve bank doesn't understand is my pay check does not automatically increase by 25 points as well.
