South Africa country watch

Exposure to South Africa means watching the Reserve Bank and the rand, Eskom load-shedding and Transnet's rail and port backlogs, the ports of Durban, Cape Town and Richards Bay, coalition politics in Pretoria, empowerment and mining rules, and the mining, banking, retail and telecoms groups that anchor the continent's most developed market. We read Business Day, the Daily Maverick, Fin24, the Sunday Times and Moneyweb every morning.
