It's bad enough losing someone close to you, but when the executor of the estate is some uncaring corporate for whom you are just a number, the effect is worse. I will never, ever recommend Absa South Africa as an executor. Ever.

Today, 27 Jan 2022, is the "non-negotiable" extended D-Day for financial closure of 2000 MW of new generation capacity under the emergency Risk Mitigation IPP Procurement (RMIPPP) programme of the @DMRE_ZA IPP Office. But don't hold your breath that any progress is imminent.

The RET/EFF are terrified of Justice Zondo becoming chief justice. Uncompromising honesty is difficult for them.

Why is this so difficult to fix? I dare say the state of the Park Station restrooms is also dignity-defying. OPINIONISTA: On the potholed road to Park Station, it is black human traffic that is most at risk dailymaverick.co.za/opinionista/20…

How is this even remotely acceptable?

Prosus: Avito (Russian asset) provided 20% ($164m) of the Prosus cashflow last year... real cash. What multiple is a fair multiple on this dividend (not FCF) for an asset that few western investors could hold? At 12x, this gets to $2bn...
