SA bails out Swaziland

"This is a mutual agreement between the two governments and the South African Reserve Bank is the facilitating mechanism for the grant,"
Oh gee, and I thought central banks were "independent". I guess if they don't do what the government says they wouldn't be able to maintain their "independence"

And, as usual, the SA taxpayer is left to foot the bill.
Us taxpayers have deep and nasty pocketses, and it's Govt's holy jihad to keep our nasty pocketses empty...

There is money we won't see again which could be used to help OUR PEOPLE. Fsck sakes this is stupid. Would LOVE to see how the money is going to be used. R100 says this won't benefit many.

Article is totally mis-leading. "Lends" gives the impression that there is actually a possibility we will get the money back. In this case the swazi king will piss it down the drain and we will get stuff all back.

Swaziland will not be able to repay the loan, and it will be written off. Then they'll apply for another loan and the whole spiel will start all over again.
