Neither, don't do calls or puts. I'm not a hot shot. Buy stocks the old way and at prices when people abandon the market, then hold and sell 12-24 months later at 50+%

Nothing much is going the happen actually. Property values and taxes carry and keep the entire tri-level government from collapsing. If you distort the values, the pain is going to be felt in all of those spheres especially by the lesser cadres.

Cadres will get wealthy doing development deals with state land and selling seized assets during the first wave, like in Zim, but that's been happening already. After the first wave the value of the property will be close to worthless anyway. Don't worry the vampire cadres will suck it dry quickly and then fight over the bones, like the City of Johannesburg.

BTW, much of the bill is the same except for the clauses for zero compensation. If you own land/property with a mortgage, the compensation amount will be handed to the bank or the master of the court to either pay off your mortgage or reduce the amount outstanding on the mortgage. It is very unlikely that expropriated owners will be in a situation of having to pay off a mortgage with zero compensation.

Also note that property is defined as any asset including movable assets. Also note that there is no limit on how many times a property can be expropriated. People who are licking their lips at the opportunities envisioned by the passing of the bill will be sorely disappointed.

Eskom implements Stage 4 power cuts indefinitely by wheresmattynow in RSA

Warnings signs that Eskom is heading for a disaster have been flashing red for 14 YEARS. Yet here we are, the result politics, mismanagement, and crime. It will get worse.

PARLIAMENT: Controversial Expropriation Bill is finally approved after navigating a 14-year rocky road by vannhh in RSA

Black South Africans not connected to the political elites will suffer the most because of this, like in Zimbabwe. The Black political bourgeoisie will become wealthier. The goal here is to seize productive or valuable assets and use this as financial leverage or profit. That is why the EFF and others are not interested in state owned land or empty land, as the land in those cases has to be developed before the value increases, which takes time, commitment, discipline, planning and financial risk. None of which they are willing to provide themselves.

[2016] Why White and Indian students need higher marks to study medicine in South Africa by Desocrate in RSA

If you use academic performance and extracurricular activities as the only measures of selecting medicine students then the race breakdown of the selected students will not be acceptable to the current regime.

WAR IN EUROPE: ANC Youth League lends credibility to sham Moscow referendums in Ukraine by Mulitpotentialite in RSA

Russia annexed the Crimea even when the referendum results showed less than 30% supported joining Russia.

Russia will do it again. No one believes the scam referendum. Russia has destroyed its credibility. The future of Russia is now very different.

Govt is scrutinising Eskom leadership, says Ramaphosa by Euro_African in RSA

[–]Sea-Ingenuity-9508 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Eskom board should resign en masse. Let the ANC get what’s coming to it. I can just imagine what the next “family meeting” with the people is going to be like.

The ANC is lucky to hide behind the Eskom debacle. This was their last chance though. From now on they will be exposed.

I was surprised that an ANC representative would hand such a loaded gun to someone they would probably consider an enemy. 😀

City of Tshwane lambasted over non-payment of workers’ salaries by vannhh in RSA

[–]Sea-Ingenuity-9508 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The financial distress in Tshwane was created by the ANC. Some easy examples: They created a preferential procurement system where a lightbulb costs R200. The same one can be bought for R29 at the super market.

There was also the smart meter fiasco, the billing system, and to get a performance bonus one only had to meet 60% of your target.

The ANC has and continues to destroy municipalities across the country. The upside of all this downside is that the snake is eating itself and will soon choke.

Read the comments made by the AYL representative! They’ve unintentionally handed the Western Cape a route to independence.

Power cuts to continue to conserve emergency generation reserves - Eskom by vannhh in RSA

[–]Sea-Ingenuity-9508 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Eskom’s issues are systemic corruption, bloat, inadequate skills and mismanagement. These problems cannot be fixed quickly at all.

‘This is the Eskom we inherited’, says Gordhan as Steenhuisen calls for ‘state of disaster’ to be declared by vannhh in RSA

[–]Sea-Ingenuity-9508 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe he meant inherited as in more recently. Regardless his time is over. He’s going to get fired again.

[–]Sea-Ingenuity-9508 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s the same ideas over and over, and after 28 years of being in power, look at the results.

The government is the weakest it’s ever been.

The ANC’s policies is taking it and its supporters back to the stone age.
