LIES AND MORE LIES
It makes me sick how the politicians think everyone is stupid and haven't worked out the games they are playing. It was announced this week that the bank loan from the Chinese will go ahead as part of the project to build a new coal power station in the Musina-Makhado special economic zone. What is special about this zone is the abundance of coal but it is on privately owned farms. This was the smoke and mirrors of the land grab issue. Certain farms will be taken but I have a feeling payment will be made for these ones. They haven't been able to keep it quiet and we are learning the reason behind the reason now. I had no hard feelings towards the Chinese but I really detest them now on how they do business. I find their policies are unethical and underhanded.
Green Peace is now worried as countries that signed the Paris agreement with a promise of reducing carbon emissions seems to be a distant memory. This was not part of the energy budget released earlier in the year and seems to be part of a bigger plan. It only emerged after President Rhamophosa returned from China last month. It must have been on the table for some time and not a new venture as testing had already been done on the selected farms with drill tests.
This must have been on the cards under Zuma and he is just following along with the master plan. This government and the previous one look as though they are both good at wasting public money. To then come up with a plan using land expropriation as a cover to give the Chinese the coal they need at no cost or close to nothing it seems. The Chinese are lending them the money but the Chinese are building it for their own benefit so where is the logic in this?
We all know that there is going to be steel manufacturing and a cement factory in this economic zone, but they are Chinese companies. If we have to dig deeper the only benefit could be kick backs for a certain few and maybe some shares. The whole deal doesn't make economic sense as it will disrupt South African steel manufacturing companies. How will they compete when these Chinese firms get a preferential electricity rate that others wont.
I detest politicians at the best of times but this lot are rotten to the core and the sooner everyone wakes up and kicks them out the better.
How many better politicians would you be able to find to replace them?

Hi markku. The Democratic Alliance is the opposition and needs to take over as soon as possible. At the moment under the ANC it is like a dictatorship. They can get away with whatever they want as they have a majority. The country will change if they can get rid of this regime. It is more like a way of life to have them in power and custom amongst the people to just support them no matter what. This party helped change the apartheid era and that allows them to do anything and puts them above the law.
Can't exactly say am surprised. Blame the sellouts, not the opportunits
Two wrongs don't make a right. I blame both of them and it is greed and power that are leading both of them down this path. Believe it or not I have Chinese heritage from way back and could get a Chinese passport if i wanted one but I do hate what the country stands for. They are offering hope under a cloud of greed.
@cryptoandcoffee I think this world is all about lies and full of liers! Everyone is lying for his or her benefits!
It seems like it and the lies need to stop for the sake of everyone.

Yeah!
The Chinese being involved explains why they are stealing people's land now. That is bad news. You should inform President Trump about this via twitter.
I am sure they know what is going on. The Chinese have manipulated their position in developing countries taking advantage of whatever benefits them. I see them as more of a nuisance now that from their greed could have caused conflict and still could if the land grabs go ahead.
if you tweet to Trump about the connection and he makes a tweet the whole world will know.

howdy sir cryptoandcoffee! well sir...the United States should be in there making these deals with all the countries all over the world and we wouldn't shaft them.. probably . lol. At least they would have a better chance of not being shafted if they worked with us.
