Never say die - those accounts that defy closure In last week's Consumerwatch we talked about the many Edgars account holders who've been battling for quite some time to close their accounts - in some cases those accounts suddenly came to life again last year with amounts for club membership, and service fees, when the account holders thought the account had been closed quite some time ago. The account chaos is the result of a whole lot of dramatic change for the 92-year-old iconic South African retailer, behind the scenes. Edgars has been sold by Edcon, which is currently in business rescue, to the Durban-based Retailability group, and its accounts management has been outsourced to RCS. As if that wasn't enough fragmentation, Hollard underwrites the insurance policies which Edgars has sold many of its account holders, their monthly premiums being paid via their monthly accounts. All in all, for many accountholders, settling the amount owing in order to close their accounts seems like an impossible task. That's mainly because those extra monthly charges, which get added to their account whether they buy goods or not - service fee, club fee, insurance premiums - keep being added for as many months as it takes for the company to process their cancellation request. Many just don't have the time or the energy to get to the closed account stage, and for many, especially the elderly, the stress and aggravation is dramatically affecting their quality of life. The issues include: Account was closed in store or via email, but not actioned Club fee memberships not being cancelled, despite requests Long delays in responding to account closure requests, with the result that the “value adds” keep on being added to their accounts” Being sent “from pillar to post” in trying to get closure So at the end of last week's show, after recounting a particular bad case of an elderly woman who had been handed over to debt collectors for an Edgars account she closed at a store.

The hardest goodbye I continue to get a steady stream of complaints from Edgars customers, most about battling to close their accounts, and some about battling to stop the extra charges or interest being applied to their “six months' interest free” accounts. The Edgars accounts story is such a sad, complicated one, the bottom line being that for many, settling the amount owing in order to close their accounts seems like an impossible task. That's mainly because those extra monthly charges, which get added to their account whether they buy goods or not - service fee, club fee, insurance premiums - keep being added for as many months as it takes for the company to process their cancellation request. Many just don't have the time or the energy to get to the closed account stage, so I hear from quite a few sons and daughters of accountholders, or mothers of people too busy in their jobs for the time they need to devote to closing their accounts or settling a dispute. A quick recap - Edgars has been sold by Edcon, currently in business rescue, to the Durban-based Retailabilty group, and its accounts management has been outsourced to RCS. And Hollard underwrites the insurance policies which Edgars has sold many of its account holders, their monthly premiums being paid via their monthly accounts. Sayon Pather wrote to me about this 79-year-old mother's Edgars' drama. “She has always maintained an impeccable financial track record,” he began. “At this stage in her life she should not have to deal with the stressful harassment proffered by Edgars, and now the debt collectors they have handed her over to, for R511,11, which in fact she should not owe. “My mother's Edgars account was made paid-up in full and the account closed in January 2020. This was confirmed by the cashier and witnessed by family. ECR Consumerwatch

South African retailer, TFG, says it has concluded an agreement to buy select assets of budget clothes retailer Jet from the administrators of rival Edcon and expects to meet all conditions by the end of September. TFG, known as The Foschini Group, said in July it will buy 371 stores and some assets of Jet for 480 million rand. The purchase is to enable TFG expand into the budget clothes market, a segment in which it is not a major player. TFG says it has now reached an agreement for the assets in South Africa, where most of the stores it is buying are located. The retailer says similar agreements for stores in Botswana, Namibia, Lesotho and the kingdom of eSwatini are expected to be finalised shortly. --- This episode is sponsored by · Afrolit Podcast: Hosted by Ekua PM, Afrolit shares the stories of multi-faceted Africans one episode at a time. https://open.spotify.com/show/2nJxiiYRyfMQlDEXXpzlZS?si=mmgODX3NQ-yfQvR0JRH-WA Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/newscast-africa/support

The Kingsgate Clothing Group has expanded its personal protective equipment (PPE) production line-up to include isolation gowns, used by hospital personnel. The group already produces cloth masks for the commercial and corporate market. Kingsgate Clothing Group executive Ahmed Dhai says the gown project forms part of a wider effort within the South African clothing industry and government to provide localised solutions to the country’s fight against Covid-19. “The isolation gown has largely been imported thus far. While there has also been a level of local production, nothing has met the required standards of SANS 53795. “I am pleased to advise that we have now managed to make two successful products that meet the required standard. “One is from an entirely localised supply chain, with the material coming from Gauteng, and the other from an imported fabric supply, but with local production,” says Dhai. Kingsgate Clothing plans to produce the isolation gowns at its factory in Hammersdale, near Durban. “We need government to now buy this from us before we can kickstart the production line,” says Dhai. “We believe that 50 workers can produce 10 000 garments a week. With the demand running into the millions, we believe we can use this product to sustain our industry over the next few months. “It is critical to note that both gown products cost only 50% of the maximum regulated price as indicated by National Treasury,” he adds. “And, in addition to saving government expenditure on isolation gowns, the localised supply chain creates jobs and pours liquidity into the local economy at a critical point in time.” Dhai notes that Kingsgate Clothing has uploaded the approved products on the Business for South Africa Covid Portal, which now makes them eligible for procurement by the Solidarity Fund and any other organisation that needs the product. Dhai says Kingsgate Clothing is still producing clothing items too. “We have lost the entire winter season, so we did not do any winter production. We’ll hold the winter raw material for a year, and have now moved onto summer production. From August onwards we’ll distribute summer clothing. “But demand levels are not the same as usual. The Edcon group’s business rescue has taken considerable volumes out of our business and we need to redirect capacity to PPE to maintain operations at a sustainable level.” Kingsgate Clothing is a family-owned business that recently celebrated its sixty-fifth birthday. The company produces 95% of its clothing in Southern Africa. It supplies clothing lines to retail outlets such as Mr Price, PEP and Jet, while it also provides various government departments with uniforms, linen and patient wear. The group employs about 1 000 people directly, as well as roughly 5 500 people indirectly, for example, by outsourcing to a number of other factories, as well as to printing and embroidery businesses.

South Africa’s Edcon on Monday said that more that 75% of its creditors have approved a proposed rescue plan that will see the retailer sold in parts or whole after it entered a form of bankruptcy protection in April. The approval paves the way for the administrators to finalise the sale process by the end of June to allow time for supplier negotiations and for summer stock to be purchased. About 15 parties have shown interest in the sale, with the selection of the offer expected in early July. Edcon entered business rescue after sales were hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. Creditors voted during a virtual meeting that started on Monday afternoon. The business rescue practitioners, Piers Marsden and Lance Schapiro of Matuson Associates, said they will proceed with implementing the adopted Business Rescue Plan, keeping all stakeholders updated as the plan progresses.

Administrators in charge of South Africa’s Edcon have proposed a sales process that may lead to job redundancies in significant numbers, after the retailer filed for a form of bankruptcy protection in April. Administrators are seeking the sales of the retailer’s divisions as going concerns, according to details of the business rescue plan published late on Monday. Edcon, which owns department store chain Edgars and budget clothing retailer Jet, entered business rescue proceedings after losing an estimated 2 billion rand ($120 million) of sales since the coronavirus pandemic reached South Africa in March. The administrators, Piers Marsden and Lance Schapiro of Matuson Associates, said the proposed plan will lead to an efficient rescue of the company and will balance the rights and interests of all stakeholders.

La crise économique suite à l’épidémie de coronavirus fait planer le spectre du chômage de masse dans différents pays du monde. Aux Etats-Unis, 25% de la population pourrait se retrouver sans emploi. La Chine, habituée au plein-emploi, devrait, elle aussi, y être confrontée. Le continent africain ne sera sans doute pas épargné, et en particulier le géant sud-africain, déjà mal en point avant la pandémie. Le pays a commencé l’année en entrant en récession et 29% de la population était déjà au chômage. Le président Cyril Ramaphosa a annoncé dimanche 24 mai, un nouvel allègement des mesures de confinement à partir du 1er juin. Mais les perspectives pour l’après-crise sont peu réjouissantes pour les travailleurs du pays. Judith et son amie ont installé leurs chaises sur le trottoir du township d’Alexandra. Désœuvrées, elles attendent que le temps passe : « On travaillait avant, mais plus maintenant. J’avais un petit boulot dans le recyclage, mais avec le confinement c’est fini. Donc, je reste là, toute la journée. » Comme Judith, Sello n’a pas encore reçu de compensation du gouvernement. Depuis mars, son entreprise n’a plus de travaux d’installations électriques à lui donner, et il ne touche plus rien de son salaire de 500 euros. Il est venu faire la queue une nouvelle fois devant les bureau de la caisse d’allocation chômage : « Á cause du coronavirus, beaucoup d’endroits ont fermé, donc je n’ai plus de contrats. Mais j’ai des enfants, j’ai des factures à payer ! Et quand on vient ici, avec les bons documents, pour récupérer des aides pour lesquelles notre entreprise a contribué, c’est impossible. Je ne sais même pas si je retrouverai mon travail ensuite, car on dépend d’autres entreprises, et de leurs besoins. » Malgré des difficultés, la caisse d’allocations a jusqu’à présent versé près de 730 millions d’euros à plus de 2,5 millions de travailleurs. Le gouvernement a aussi mis en place des mesures pour soutenir les entreprises. Beaucoup pourront d’ailleurs reprendre leur activité à partir du 1er juin. Cette levée des restriction est primordiale pour Cos Coovadia, directeur de l’organisation patronale BUSA : « Ce sont surtout les plus petites entreprises qui sont à risque, c’est pour ça qu’il est très important de relancer l’économie aussi vite que possible, sans bien sûr compromettre la santé des habitants. » La crise fait aussi s’effondrer de grosses entreprises qui étaient déjà en difficulté, comme le géant de la distribution Edcon, ou la compagnie publique South African Airways. Pour l’économiste Kevin Lings, le pays aura du mal à se relever : « La situation est désormais très inquiétante. La croissance pour cette année pourrait décliner de 9 à 10%. Cela signifie que nous allons observer un nouveau bond du taux de chômage. On estime que sur 12 mois, l’Afrique du Sud devrait perdre plus ou moins 2,1 millions d’emplois. Et on devrait assister à des faillites d’entreprises. Donc, une fois que l’on aura contrôlé l’épidémie, tous les efforts du gouvernement se porteront sûrement sur le redémarrage de la croissance économique du pays et la création d’emplois. » Les agences de notations comme Standard&Poor’s ne sont pas beaucoup plus optimistes et s’inquiètent du poids que les mesures font peser sur la situation financière du pays.
Business Day TV — Devin Shutte from The Robert Group chose Mr Price as his stock pick of the day and Jean Pierre Verster from Protea Capital Management chose Electronic Arts. Shutte said: "We've looked long and hard at mr. Price, a predominantly cash clothing retailer in South Africa. We think they are incredibly well position for that consumer recovery although it may not be as strong as it was. They have over R4bn on the balance sheet and are trading at evaluation we haven't seen in years. They are well positioned to take up some of the market share left by Edcon and we believe although they've had a few missteps they will take advantage of the ensuing recovery." Verster said: "I'm picking a US stock called Electronic Arts. It is one of the largest gaming companies in the world both pc gaming and online gaming. They're also well known for the Fifa range of online games and as we know a lot of sports now is not being played or at least is being placed in front empty stadiums and for people who want to still have that feeling of sport; they can then go to esports and play Fifa 2021 and that'll be good for Electronic Arts. I think you we will have more gamers spending more hours on games and buying all kinds of interesting products within the game spending their money with companies like Electronic Arts."
BizNews — The list of big businesses in South Africa that are struggling to keep their doors open is growing. It includes Edcon, the owners of Edgars and Jet, that voluntarily placed itself under business rescue, as with Comair and SA Express, while Associated Magazines closed its doors, to name a few. A survey by Statistics South Africa revealed that 42% of the country's businesses are struggling and that they have run out of financial resources to continue operating during the Covid-19 lockdown. PJ Veldhuizen, a Cape Town lawyer from Gillen and Veldhuizen, which specialises in business rescue and directors' liability, says companies in financial distress should not remain in lockdown paralysis. "It's time for businesses to honestly assess their positions and consider options." In an interview with Linda van Tilburg, he said the moratorium granted by the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission during the lockdown period does not apply to third parties, which leaves any business under stress and their directors wide open.

South Africa’s Investec Property Fund (IPF) said it expects retailer Edcon’s decision to seek bankruptcy protection to have a limited impact on its business. Last Wednesday South Africa’s biggest non-food retailer filed for a business rescue becoming the country’s first major corporate casualty of the coronavirus pandemic. Edcon, which owns department stores chain Edgars and budget clothing retailer Jet, is a tenant of six of the Fund’s retail properties, with gross leasable area (GLA) exposure of about 15,900 square meters or only 1.4% South African GLA. IPF said it had limited exposure to the struggling retailer because when Edcon received a 2.7 billion-rand ($143.9 million) lifeline in new cash and rent deductions from its main shareholder and participating landlords last year, IPF elected to contribute via the reduced rental option instead of equity. --- This episode is sponsored by · Afrolit Podcast: Hosted by Ekua PM, Afrolit shares the stories of multi-faceted Africans one episode at a time. https://open.spotify.com/show/2nJxiiYRyfMQlDEXXpzlZS?si=mmgODX3NQ-yfQvR0JRH-WA Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/newscast-africa/support

Simon Shares Moneyweb NOW, starting Monday. Live stream at 6.30am and podcast from 7am - both on Moneyweb.co.za or their app. Day 35 of lockdown, and last day of level 5, for now. S&P500 trading back at August 2019 levels and Top40 at January 2019 levels. So basically saying COVID-19 is no worry? Everything is going to be alright? Sure the US has thrown over US$2trillion at the problem, but some 13% of the US workforce has lost a job in the last month and it easy to fire, but will surely be a lot slower to rehire? This is why I am at best a W recovery person not a V shaped. We have another leg lower, no idea how much lower, but lower. Locally a Stats SA survey of 707 VAT-registered companies shows that 20% have already laid off staff and 30% have decreased working hours. We also see IMF forecasting a local GDP of -5.8% and an unemployment rate of 35.3% for 2020. Then 34.1% unemployment in 2021. These are horror numbers and if they're wrong, they be wrong on the light side with reality potentially worse. Certainly that -5.8% for GDP is the lowest I am currently seeing with even the SARB and national treasury expecting -6.4% for 2020, a number I still think will ultimately be on the low side. On lockdown level 4. It not very different with tobacco products allowed to be sold (maybe) and restaurants allowed to do food deliveries (maybe) and some industry allowed to get back to work. Restaurants will be a biggie, people do not normally cook their own dinner every night, heck I know some of even ordering in for breakfast and lunch. So demand should be wild and it will get cash back into this sector, but managing demand is going to be tricky. My thought is that we should be able to book cooking times. For example, I book the 7pm slot at my fav and they have limited number of slots available at each time slot as per their capacity. This is much like a lot of the food stores were doing and it manages expectations and delays. At the end of the day level 4 lockdown is expected to see about 1.5million returning back to work. But the flip side is Edcon reportedly filing for voluntary business rescue as it burns through its cash. We're going to see a lot more large and small businesses not surviving, hence my feeling that the projected GDP and unemployment numbers are likely to be on the light side. Subscribe to our feed here Subscribe or review us in iTunes WTI still trading weak and frankly why not negative again just ahead of close out for the June delivery contract? Storage is now even tighter as demand remains collapsed and the supply taps remain turned on. Eventually supply has to decrease because demand is a long way from booming again, but nobody wants to be the first to blink and exit so instead each is hoping somebody else blinks and markedly cuts production first. Biggest loser locally in this oil war (aside from Sasol (JSE code: SOL) which is now over 8000c and which I am still not buying) is MTN (JSE code: MTN). Their biggest market is Nigeria and Nigeria is an oil economy that is being nailed by both COVID-19 and collapsing oil price. The latter means less government and oil industry money and that'll lead to lay offs and less income generally. All this means poorer people who have less to spend on data and voice. PSG (JSE code: PSG) are giving "serious consideration" to unbundling their Capitec* (JSE code: CPI) holding. This makes sense, the Capitec stake is worth more than the PSG market cap essentially valuing their other assets at a negative value. This defeats the point of being listed which is largely capital raising which one would never do at such a discount. In fact PSG are fairly smart at issuing new shares when they trade at a premium to their holdings. Further, the Capitec dividend flow has been very useful for PSG over the years, but with that dividend now cancelled for at least two or more years, now's a good time to do the transaction. PSG also states that "new legislation may potentially deem PSG (as a material shareholder in Capitec) to be a financial conglomerate" and that would increase compliance costs for PSG. Lastly depending ow much they unbundle it may well leave Capitec without a reference shareholder which is very useful in times of stress, but most of our big four are in the same boat so no train smash. Staying with Capitec, Michiel le Roux, one of the founding directors, has donated R99million to three efforts to fight COVID-19 in South Africa. Well done gent. Then a fascinating report on how Morgan Stanley is tracking the industrial recovery in China. They're measuring air quality and if it is returning to normal seasonal levels. Lastly, we fall out of world government bond index today (delayed from end March) as we're now full junk. This means we'll see selling pressure on our bonds and likely also our Rand. How much pressure? No idea and as I record on Wednesday afternoon, the Rand is stronger at 18.53 and about US$10-15billion needs to be sold, remember SARB is also a buyer in the secondary bond market. But bottom line this is hardly the end of the world and won't crash either the rand or our bonds - just some pressure that we'll move on from quick enough as investors like our +10% yields in a negative interest rate world.

As part of the Edgars strategy to regain its former glory in the South African retail market, the retailer wants to boost its credit sales as a percentage of overall sales. Right now, it sits at about 35% but in speaking to Edcon CEO Grant Pattison says the plan is to get that to 50%. RCS CEO Regan Adams speaks to Ron Derby about how Edgars will boost its credit sales.

Business Day TV — Financial Mail Editor, Rob Rose and the team take a look at the impact Ramaphoria has had on the latest GDP numbers; what the latest polling stats could mean for the upcoming elections as well as Edcon's latest bailout and the prospects of a turnaround for the business.
In today’s global business headlines… Chinese share prices, which have risen by a third this year to become the world’s best performers for 2019, have further upside according to a couple of investment heavyweights. January’s deadly slimes dam burst in Brazil, where 186 people are confirmed dead and another 122 are still missing, has claimed its first corporate casualties with yesterday’s resignation of the chief executive and two lieutenants at Brazilian mining giant Vale. Still with mining, the American state of Nevada came top of 83 mining jurisdictions in the 2018 Fraser Institute’s annual survey of mining’s most attractive destinations. Nevada, which rose from third in 2017, was followed by Western Australian (5th in 2017) and Canadian province Saskatchewan which fell one place last year. In South African related news, major retailing group Edcon secured a life-saving deal with creditors almost a year after it began negotiating the refinancing of a debt mountain created in 2007 by private equity investors Bain Capital.
Edcon CEO Grant Pattison says the retail giant needs about a billion-rand of funding to be financially sustainable over the next year. Pattison has however rejected speculation that Edcon is on the brink of collapse. Reports over the weekend suggested that the group, which owns Edgars, Jet and CNA stores, is facing liquidation and 40-thousand workers could lose their jobs and 100-thousand others affected indirectly.
Retail group Edcon says it is working on a recovery plan after the company faced huge financial problem which could lead to the loss of 140 000 jobs. It has denied a report that it will be closing down and says they are working on a plan. Edcon owns Edgars, Jet and CAN. Wisani Makhubela reports.
In this podcast, I’m joined by Steven Ross, former CEO of EdCon – one of Africa’s largest retailers, and Dana Herrman, Senior Managing Director on Bernstein’s trading desk. We discuss the impact of Amazon and the disruption it is causing on everything from the retail industry to the stock market. I’ll conclude with a final thought on how to increase your yield on cash, and why banks are paying nearly nothing on checking, savings, and money market accounts.
