Completely misleading headline

What it is actually showing is that Standard Bank is becoming Chinese Owned . Ie China owns more of standard bank than usa companies do and is the largest foreign investor in Standard Bank.
USA companies had a huge stake in Standard Bank in the standarded charted days, but that has been winding down since.

Thank god I dont bank with Standard bank

Que? Why are we buying tankers instead of fixing the actual problem?

Because we will always have a need to supply water to some area, either through emergencies or planned maintenance.

I mean even the DA run city of Cape Town is buying water tankers, does that mean they are not fixing the actual problem?

Do we need 20 tankers for that, with more on the way?

At R1.5m each that's R30m. Should we really be spending that much on a band-aid? And that's assuming there isn't some middle-man cadre who made money from this...
