Bacher: SA’s high-stakes political game unnerves investors - big moves coming

In his regular monthly review, Corion’s David Bacher explains how markets were on edge in May during the run-up to Election Day - and how investors remain nervous as politicians consider the binary choice that will determine the country’s future. He also highlights the awful share price performance of SA’s cell phone giants over the past ten years and explains why huge moves are looming in the prices of all SA assets in the next couple of weeks. Bacher spoke to BizNews editor Alec Hogg.

Politicians everywhere never put their country's interests above their own. Wake up

[@PatBouwer]

Thank you for this insight. Only God can help us. If the political powers at play pray and take direction from God, then we can grow our country. Dear Lord please bring stabilization, and peace to our nation

I don't want to be alarmist, but if you add up ANC + MK + EFF (assuming the ANC bows to the "wisdom" of SACP), the sum gets really close to a constitution changing total. All it would take is one or two smaller parties prepared to sell out the country to pay for a party this weekend with unlimited cocaine to chip in, and we'd be in trouble if someone has this planned for us.

Perhaps the Biznews community is more intelligent and well-informed than average, so perhaps the power of 'group' depends on the quality of the group.

Alec, your voice comes out extremely soft. Can you maybe adjust something? thanks.

[@hannesviljoen]

Please Alec, use second level thinking when referring to Trump and court cases and guilty verdicts. Do you even know what the 30+ verdicts are? Seems like everyone can see that wants to see…. The rest , not so much. This is legal warfare. That is the reason he gets even more support.

[@SCHEPPEL]

Yep. He should watch less CNN.

[@timcwightman]

Agreed, Alec (like Zapiro and others) has a huge knowledge gap and blind spot over Trump. He still refers to the Hunter Biden laptop as Russian election interference... 😯

[@onlypremiumlife]

Alec has a big-fancy-expensive microphone which sounds like he's talking through a pillow and David has a set of headphones that are loud and clear...get a new mic Alec!!

[@SCHEPPEL]

Alec should watch less CNN.

When politicians are failing to govern our country. Give the country to us, we will do much better. No colonial DA of helen zille. She said colonization was a good thing. That woman can never stand before us. She is an utter insult to🇿🇦

[@user-fl1pf6cd3v]

Without it you would still be running around in a beshu

[@zasanab182]

& there it is! Then you people still ask why black people don't want to vote for the DA, it's you DA voters who can't help show your racism every chance you get. You lot (DA voters) are the worst advertisement for your party. ​@@user-fl1pf6cd3v
