@XolaniXtx@MightiJamie The gained advantage of exporting more would trickle down through the economy averting a good amount of what you mentioned thus doing good for the country.
The only issue here would be governance
@XolaniXtx@MightiJamie Bro the interview was back in 08'...we still had a good economy with solid growth, loadshedding wasn't a crisis yet. It made sense then to implement whatever China was doing to gain a competitive edge. You don't hear him say the same now because those factors are now in play.
@FrankTalk_ZA@PhoebeAmari @GodPenuel No I understand....it's the way these influencers deliver info...you end up having to explain everything.
I have refreshed my information & the swing is thanks to the war.
And the constant seeking of a scapegoat for our problems is annoying but thank you my man am updated again
@XolaniXtx@MightiJamie How does a nation benefit from a weak currency...my reply is the answer. The issues you wrote has 0 to do with what you asked as shown by the fact that even advanced economies with strong/weak currencies can have similar issues.China was an example of currency manipulation
@FrankTalk_ZA@PhoebeAmari @GodPenuel Not doubting the increase(particularly post 2022) but India is not a western power and an increase in exports for the west doesn't necessarily mean a decrease for the east.R1 trillion could have built us a minimum of 4 Medupis using the inflated ANC figures thus may lack accuracy
@MZEEY_M@Solphendukaa Exactly...if Khuzani/Mthandeni say vote for my song on Metro/Phala Phala it would be Exactly they same result. The fact iPlan as number 3 there had more votes than on most the stations it won at but was still 650k votes behind 2nd should tell people something.
@the_trogan@IvynSambo Like I said in majority of provinces it's top 5 most listened...Metro might be the only other that can stake that claim. Other stations listenership don't correspond with the no. of people speaking it's dominant language. All SABC stations have their song of the years.
@ZithaBhekani @GodPenuel What is currently happening is better than your suggestion mfethu,akekho ovimbe abantu from doing like Khuzani followers for the other songs.The rules were the same kukho konke.Amamanager awuhlukile nabantu but it's better kuthi abantu abaningi than a few who can be bribed kalula
@MuzieSndlovu@Zamokuhle007 Singakhohlwa bhuti kuthi okuthandwa uwena akufani nokuthandwa yimina...hence if bekuvotwa trust me Maskandians would choose the closest thing to their favourite. Ukwenza ngathi ingoma kaKhuzani ifana neka DJ Hlo amampungwe lawo ngoba it has 5m views kuYouTube in 2months, idumile
@XolaniXtx@MightiJamie Same reason China makes sure their currency is weak. It allows you to be competitive in the manufacturing sector(in this case the raw materials would be processed here further creating jobs & a strong economy)
@Voys_ZA @GodPenuel Bafowethu rhey failed to proper build 2 stations in 15yrs(9 kaZuma & 6 kaRamaphosa) that should have been done in 4yrs.
They spent more than 5 times the budget buying stuff that breaks constantly.
What makes us thing a more difficult job with an inflated budget would be easier
@FrankTalk_ZA@PhoebeAmari @GodPenuel Over 70% of our coal goes to China & Pakistan which ironically are not western powers. The little that is imported to the west is just under 10%.
Lastly you have never heard Eskom complain of coal shortages so us exporting coal has nothing to do with this.
@LANGATARGARYEN @_SiyaNdlovu @IvynSambo Exactly....people act like only the maskandi songs could be voted for more than once. If 100k people who enjoyed iPlan voted 3times(R4.50) that would be 300k votes but iPlan still had less than 100k(with many multiple votes). Even then they would still be 450k votes short of 2nd
@the_trogan@IvynSambo In that case the is no such thing as a national radio station then...uKhozi is a top 5 most listened station in almost all 9 provinces(we can debate the nationality of the listeners),hence why people are complaining. What of the other 18 no.1s...kwathuleka ngabo oMetro &the likes
@MuzieSndlovu@Zamokuhle007 Even lapho...no song managed to get 500k votes. Maskandi fans can&would unite under 1 banner to vote for whatever song is nominated if it's not 2/more(assuming it's 1person 1vote) they could easily win nakhona...why ? They actually vote
