(005320.38-:E-003569.93:N-HO:R-SU:C-30:V)
[Mining is critical to South Africa's wealth. So this is good news. Things will get worse! Jan]South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has said the county’s electricity crisis has severely damaged its mining industry, a key pillar of the economy. Ramaphosa made the comment while addressing Investing in African Mining Indaba, the world’s largest mining investment conference. The Minerals Council South Africa, which represents mining companies, estimates that total mining volumes were down by 6%, or U.S.$ 1.8 billion in 2022.
Ramaphosa admitted that the ongoing power cuts implemented on 200 days in 2022 contributed to the slump. He assured investors that the government is addressing the challenges facing the country to ensure that South Africa reaches its full mining potential.
He also told investors that the government has already introduced the Energy Action Plan to improve the "performance of our existing power stations and to add new generation capacity to the grid as quickly as possible".

2006: S.Africa: ThinkTank: Blacks try to kill all the Whites, Part II
Does anyeone (aside from Jan of course) remember the Tempe Army Camp massacre a few years ago (1999 I think) when one of the ex-MK terrorist went berserk and killed 8 white officers?
Black lies from 2006: Zimbabwe: Only 200 White Farmers paid of 4,000 Rest paid in 2010? Oh Yeah?
I posted this in 2006. The Blacks had stolen 4,000 farms out of the 5,000 that were there. They lied about paying the White Farmers. You can read my skepticism and the news from 2006.
