Lets be sober fact is tho, that the elections are forming a cloud that is really causing jitters for investors/local and foreign. As Wazuans we should be think-tanks and not political bigots.



An indication that the real estate sector is on a slow down.



Surely....why do we think that the stock market shall hold put? All indications are pointing towards a decline.

@Sufficiently.....I will try to answer that,

1. CORD doesn't represent radical change in govt. RAO is almost like an incumbent that's why the market is perceived to be tolerant of him. As for jubilee...to investors, these chaps are ok, but they dont know how the ICC issue will play out...that uncertainty is the problem.
2. In as much as we - I included would like the Eagle to sour, we cant ignore the numbers. To me the Eagle alliance would be the best for this country.

Trust me, investors prefer stability anytime, the rest can be changed

Between 6 June 2008 and 3 March 2009 the NSE20 lost more than 3000 points despite the coalition government being formed on 8 February 2008, offcourse something bigger happened during that period...Lehman Brothers collapsed and advanced markets tanked...frontier markets like the NSE were not spared as offshore funds pulled out to cover losses...history never repeats itself

No need to post this nonsense here...lets stick to the thread...don't tell me in Zimbabwe white folks are the ones slaving in Mugabes tobacco farms...FYI Zimbabweans now make up the majority of farm workers in SA.

Zim labourers in SA: PASSOP demands amnesty

Migrant rights group People against Suffering Oppression and Poverty and the Congress of South African Trade Unions have made a joint request for government to grant amnesty to undocumented foreigners, most of them Zimbabweans and Malawians, working as farm workers in South Africa.

@Cde Mugabe would be no way if it wasn't for the SADC support.

Dude I said lets stick to the topic...dont compare apples to oranges...how do you compare low income countries to upper middle income countries...SADC has assisted the people of Zimbabwe during their troubled times...do you know how many Zimbabweans roam the streets of Windhoek? Are you away if it wasnt for Namibia...Zimbabwe would not be part of the Kimberly process? Do you know how many loans the Namibian government has advanced to Mugabes regime? Dont hate on Namibia/RSA we are not responsible for those sanctions...hate on the West...Dude do you know how many transformation and development has taken place in Namibia since the independence? I have lived in Kenya for 4 years now...been to Zimbabwe and RSA...you cant compare the level of development in Kenya to RSA or Namibia...its worlds apart...lets stick to the topic...Both the SA/Namibian economies are growing despite their high bases...their both receiving substantial FDI...the Chinese just invested $2 Billion (KES172 Billion) in a greenfield Namibian mine the other day...Stop hating on success...Black people in SA/Namibia are more richer now than during arpatheid...hundreds of Kenyans work in Namibia while there are only less than 10 Namibians in Kenya...I dont have a problem with that..so are my countrymen...its ONE AFRICA after all....
