Over 1,900 business shut down in South Africa – these sectors were hit the hardest

Businesses in South Africa are struggling amid record load shedding and rising costs.

Wonder what the stats for 2020 were....

something something... toilet bowl... something

In my view, the state should have acted way sooner with a load shedding schedule in permanency until reasonably recoverable. Opportunities have been spoiled, and as much as ordinary people and businesses can pursue other energy sources it can’t always scale to cover the scope. I am saying this in simple terms. New opportunities will always rise, but too much has already been lost.

Small businesses are being cannibalised by predators larger than them. Our market has become surrounded by vultures and hyenas, and it is not only energy crises attributing to this. There are many elephants in the dilemma.

Just know that there are tougher times ahead, and everyone in my opinion should go into survival mode. There is no more room to have weak hands, where you don't have the resources you better have the conviction.

A lot of talk is being focused on the energy crisis and rightly so, but another sinister force, namely crime is also affecting business and destroying livelihoods and neighborhoods, driving property prices down and creating havoc.

Our uproar must be a four pronged approach with Energy and Crime at the top of everyone's voices.

There is ZERO being done to combat the rampant increase in crime.

Crime is part of the ANC culture and mindset. The rot starts from the very top.

"Whatever action is performed by a great man, common men follow in his footsteps. And whatever standards he sets by exemplary acts, all the world pursues."

There is a lot which is attributable to that which results in crime. I also don't believe that the world powers can delay a global recession any more, and in my view, they should have recognised that we are already in a recession. Security in general is being threatened. Combatting crime in these times will become more challenging.

Yebo yes, mine to join the list in Feb/March 2024, although it is shutting down in SA but will continue elsewhere.

They are celebrating not being able to pay their own staff's salaries

This guy doesn't seem to be celebrating:

WATCH | Farm dumps almost 12 000 litres of milk in one day due to load shedding | Business

A dairy farm in KwaZulu-Natal was forced to dump a full day's worth of milk due to load shedding, and it says this is simply the latest blow from an erratic electricity supply that has already brought its production below budget.

They don't care as long as they can carry on stealing nothing affects them.

This is all part of Cyril’s plan to end loadshedding.

Equality for all - no electricity, no water, no job.

Wish we could shutdown the businesses leeching taxes instead

This does not bother the ANC and the South African government. They are all part of the Great Reset movement. Their aim is to collapse capitalism, economies and countries. Where we see problems, they are indeed celebrating this. This country had so much money, it took them more than 25 years to collapse it.
