A suspect arrested in Johannesburg last week has appeared in the Lichtenburg Magistrate's Court, accused of facilitating terror financing through a suspicious Bitcoin transaction. The Hawks allege that the suspect purchased R11,500 worth of Bitcoin in 2017, which was then transferred to a wallet linked to an organization claiming to be an independent charity. For more insights, Elvis Presslin spoke to Hawks Spokesperson, Lieutenant-Colonel Philane Nkwalase

The new Mayor of Tshwane, Dr. Nasiphi Moya, is faced with debt of over R11 billion, while creditors owe the City over R28 billion. In this interview with BizNews, Dr Moya details her 100-day action plan to save the Metro; gives viewers the low-down on behind-the-scenes talks on a payment plan of the almost R7-billion it owes ESKOM alone. She details measures to mitigate the water crisis; and gives an update on her other priorities, including infrastuctructure development, economic revitalisation, equitable basic service delivery, by-law enforcement and inner-city rejuvenation. Dr Moya says the “anxiety that we as politicians caused” in the lead-up to the Motion of No Confidence in her predecessor “is unforgivable”, but she vows not to let issues inside the council chambers translate into lack of service delivery.

Former SABC COO Hlaudi Motsoeneng has been dealt a significant blow after the Constitutional Court dismissed his appeal to overturn an order to repay a R11.5 million "success fee" he received from the public broadcaster. This fee was deemed unlawful and invalid by the Gauteng High Court. The Special Investigating Unit (SIU) has welcomed this decision, which paves the way for them to recover the outstanding amount from Motsoeneng. So far, the SIU has already recovered over 6 million from Motsoeneng's pension benefits. To elaborate further on the case Elvis Presslin spoke to SIU Spokesperson, Kaizer Kganyago.

Hlaudi Motsoeneng has just lost his fourth attempt to appeal a ruling requiring him to repay R11.5 million to the SABC. The SOS: Support Public Broadcasting Coalition was established on 10 June 2008 as the “Save our SABC Campaign”. Lester Kiewit spoke with Uyanda Siyotula, National Coordinator at the SOS Coalition.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's a well-equipped intermediate gadget based on numbers. It has a large, smoothly scrolling screen, a powerful Snapdragon CPU, and a few extras like wireless charging for $599 or R11,222.29. Everything is going OK so far. At least half of the attraction, though, comes from the vibe. It's harder to measure, but it's between the unique Nothing OS launcher, the light strip notification indications, and the translucent back panel design. It's a cool phone, not like your average phone. Bruce Whitfield, the host, is joined by tech expert Toby Sharpshak to discuss the details of the Nothing phone 2.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Los Scud o R11 en su denominación soviética, han sido desde hace mucho unos misiles que se han facilitado a muchos de los países aliados y amigos de la URSS. Estas armas, con capacidad de cabezas convencionales y nucleares han supuesto la base de otros muchos diseños nacionales de países como Corea del Norte o Irak Sin duda y a pesar de su antiguedad como misil, los Scud son dignos herederos de las V2 alemanas de la WW2, un arma de terror Si quieres contratar publicidad o episodios patrocinados en este podcast 👉 https://advoices.com/niebla-de-guerra-podcast quizás quieras publicitar libros, viajes, recreaciones, vestuario o deporte, entonces este es tu podcast Musica intro: Fallen Soldier,licencia gratuita, de Biz Baz Estudio Licencia Creative Commons Fuentes: Iraq’s Scud Ballistic Missiles.

Noluthando Mthonti-Mlambo speaks to Brimstone CEO, Mustaq Brey about the company's results. The Group reported a profit for the year of R421.9 million, a 30% increase from R324.5 million in the prior year.

Total assets increased by 5% to R12.3 billion from R11.7 billion in the prior year. Net asset value per share increased to R14.57 per share from R13.40 per share at prior year end. Brimstone declared a dividend of 40 cents per share, up from 33 cents per share in the previous year.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This audio is brought to you by Endress and Hauser, a leading supplier of products, solutions and services for industrial process measurement and automation. South Africa's Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) expects to appoint a developer within months for the common-user infrastructure required to support the proposed liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal at the Port of Richards Bay, in KwaZulu-Natal. In January, the State-owned company announced that it had selected a consortium comprising Vopak and Transnet Pipelines to design, develop, construct, finance, operate, and maintain an LNG terminal in the South Dunes Precinct at the deep-water port for a period of 25 years. In parallel, TNPA was evaluating bids for a service provider to complete detailed engineering, design and construction of the marine infrastructure, gas transmission pipeline and bulk services required to operate the LNG terminal and to link it to a dedicated LNG berth able to accommodate a floating storage regasification unit. The request for proposals (RFP) closed on November 20 and TNPA is targeting to make the appointment during March. The developer will carry out the construction of marine structures such as berths, bollards, fenders, pipe racks and bund walls as well as the development of a gas transmission pipeline for handling LNG imports and bulk services infrastructure. The project, together with the terminal itself, has been described as one of two catalytic projects already under way within TNPA's Eastern Region, which incorporates the ports of Durban and Richards Bay. At the Port of Durban, meanwhile, TNPA anticipates appointing a service provider for the detailed design and commissioning of berth infrastructure works of the Point Container Terminal Marine Infrastructure and Bulk Services project by April. The project seeks to expand the terminal's capacity from 0.2-million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) to 1.8-million TEUs. During a recent stakeholder engagement held at the Port of Durban, TNPA portfolio director Dr Bridgette Gasa-Toboti indicated that the two projects were in line with the goals of accommodating larger container vessels and meeting the country's new energy requirements. She indicated that they were part of a broader project pipeline that included short-, medium- and long-term projects, with the projects earmarked for implementation between 2024 and 2029 collectively valued at R11-billion. Besides the LNG and Point Container Terminal, the project pipeline also encompasses the deepening and lengthening of berths 203, 204 and 205 at the Pier 2 Durban Container Terminal. The RFP for a multibillion-rand main marine construction works package will close on April 19, with constructure currently scheduled to begin between August and December 2024. The project will result in a berth length increase from 914 m to 1 210 m to safely accommodate the simultaneous berthing of three Super Post Panamax vessels 350 m in length and with a draft of 14.5 m. A service provider had also been appointed in January to undertake prefeasibility studies for both the Base and Satellite Stations to enable the construction of the South African Navy Base project at the Port of Richards Bay.

The developer will carry out the construction of marine structures such as berths, bollards, fenders, pipe racks and bund walls as well as the development of a gas transmission pipeline for handling LNG imports and bulk services infrastructure. The project, together with the terminal itself, has been described as one of two catalytic projects already under way within TNPA's Eastern Region, which incorporates the ports of Durban and Richards Bay. At the Port of Durban, meanwhile, TNPA anticipates appointing a service provider for the detailed design and commissioning of berth infrastructure works of the Point Container Terminal Marine Infrastructure and Bulk Services project by April. The project seeks to expand the terminal's capacity from 0.2-million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) to 1.8-million TEUs. During a recent stakeholder engagement held at the Port of Durban, TNPA portfolio director Dr Bridgette Gasa-Toboti indicated that the two projects were in line with the goals of accommodating larger container vessels and meeting the country's new energy requirements. She indicated that they were part of a broader project pipeline that included short-, medium- and long-term projects, with the projects earmarked for implementation between 2024 and 2029 collectively valued at R11-billion. Besides the LNG and Point Container Terminal, the project pipeline also encompasses the deepening and lengthening of berths 203, 204 and 205 at the Pier 2 Durban Container Terminal. The RFP for a multibillion-rand main marine construction works package will close on April 19, with constructure currently scheduled to begin between August and December 2024. The project will result in a berth length increase from 914 m to 1 210 m to safely accommodate the simultaneous berthing of three Super Post Panamax vessels 350 m in length and with a draft of 14.5 m. A service provider had also been appointed in January to undertake prefeasibility studies for both the Base and Satellite Stations to enable the construction of the South African Navy Base project at the Port of Richards Bay.

Platinum remains in fundamental deficit, Northam CEO Paul Dunne emphasised at the company's presentation on Friday, which reported a strong performance from all group operations in the six months to December 31. "In mining terms, it's a slow-burning fuse. Ultimately, we will see a price response to this picture," said Dunne, as he displayed a visual diagram indicating the downward outlook for platinum supply. (Also watch attached Creamer Media video.) He outlined how palladium-dominant mines are often combined with significant nickel production and the weakening nickel price is further eroding profitability. Previously forecast increases in palladium supply were dependent on projects that are now unlikely to be pursued and flat-to-waning supply is expected over the medium term. Rhodium is expected to follow the depletion profile of South Africa's upper group two (UG2) mines, leading potentially to significant under supply of what is a critical metal that is poised to return to deficit "quite quickly". The current price environment may last for some time and this combined with general higher inflation will pressurise the sector and it is clear that the current market conditions cannot sustain supply, Dunne said as he displayed a margin chart during the presentation covered by Mining Weekly. "Not all orebodies are created equal and, in this market, we would suggest that South African UG2, with its higher loading of platinum, iridium, ruthenium, rhodium and chrome, is strategically well-positioned for a future-facing market. "At Northam, we have a UG2-dominat resource base, which is very well capitalised, and this places us in a strong position. "Once again, safe production, efficient project execution, efficient mining, and a very firm grip on the cheque book, will ensure that we mine at the best possible cost," said the CEO of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange-listed Northam, which declared R1-a-share interim dividend on the back of its cash and cash equivalents of R11.8-billion and available undrawn banking facilities of R11-billion collectively amounting to R22.8-billion. At the outset, Dunne drew attention to the picture of iridium chloride that featured in its presentation. Iridium chloride is critical to the production of green hydrogen. "Iridium is one of the rarest elements on the planet and because of the many colours of its various compounds, was named after Iris, the Greek goddess of the rainbow. "Iridium, together with ruthenium, were historically considered the minor metals but their importance is growing and together these contributed over 11% of Northam's R15-billion revenue for this six-month reporting period. NEW SHAFT The equipping of the new Zondereinde 3 Shaft has been completed to 500 m. Full equipping at 1 400 m and commissioning of the shaft, along with the 3A ventilation shaft, is scheduled for May 2025, at which time a combination of greatly reduced travel time for employees and improved hydropower and backfill pressure on the face, will significantly derisk mining. "The pace at which we've been able to progress the 3 Shaft project we believe is impressive, given that we only stated piloting in September 2029 and we expect commissioning four-and-a-half-years later than that at a fraction of the cost of a conventionally developed shaft. "The addition of 3 Shaft will allow us to mine this exceptional orebody well into the future," Dunne highlighted. Cost control measures in the period kept the increase in group unit cash cost per equivalent refined four element (4E) ounce at 6.7% amid a 10.6% increase in equivalent refined 4E ounce metal from its own operations to 434 977 oz in the six-month period, when production reached record levels.

This audio is brought to you by Wearcheck, your condition monitoring specialist. A phased reduction in group output owing to a probable decline in production from Impala Canada and Mimosa in Zimbabwe is likely from platinum group metals (PGMs) mining and marketing company Implats, which on Thursday reported lower group profitability, despite disciplined cost control and solid production across several operations. The odds-on decline in production amounts to roughly 8% of the production guidance of the 2024 financial year to June 30. (Also watch attached Creamer Media video.) Group six-element, or 6E, refined and saleable production is expected to be between 3.30-million ounces and 3.45-million ounces for the 50-year-old, 67 900-employee Implats, which has eight operations in three countries. On top of that, the Johannesburg Stock Exchange-listed Implats is looking at previously planned expansion of 210 000 oz potentially not happening. "Put together, it equates to roughly 14% of our internally planned production," Implats CEO Nico Muller said during an in-person and virtual presentation of results covered by Mining Weekly. The group generated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation of R8.4-billion, headline earnings of R3.3-billion or 365c a share, and recorded a free cash outflow of R4.8-billion, after funding capital expenditure (capex) of R6.8-billion. Guidance set in September remains the same other than the capex guidance, which has been reduced to between R11-billion and R12-billion from R12.5-billion to R13.5-billion. Implats is pulling in its horns amid the price determination of PGMs not correlating to market fundamentals but being influenced by the marginal buyer that buys metal in a market where there is an abundant amount of metal available on surface. In the bargain, too, is the global economy's super inflation and interest rate pressure on reserve banks and central banks, factors that have lowered the global economic growth rate. "Even now it is evident if you look at the Purchasing Managers' Index, particularly for manufacturing, in most of the economies that use our products, you will see that the PMI is just over 50, which indicates that there is going to be contraction in the growth rate of that particular economy and at the moment it is just hovering above 50, so it indicates a fairly low expectation of economic growth in those jurisdictions. "When you have this very bearish sentiment on the global economic growth rate, it tends to have a negative impact on commodities. "It's not only the PGMs market but we've seen a downward trend in battery metals prices as well," said Muller. On top of that, there are elections in 64 countries, conflicts in Ukraine, Palestine and potentially Taiwan and all of these are creating uncertainty. "Therefore, if you are a manufacturer and you consume our products, there's been a trend of destocking. We saw it in the fibreglass industry and autos. "Even on the back of fairly positive automotive sales last year, we have not seen an immediate price response. "There is general consensus across the market that we cannot expect a rapid price recovery any time soon given the fact that it's tied to what's happening across the globe with macro factors," Muller said. The Implats basket price declined by 32% mainly on palladium's 41% fall as well as the drop in the price of rhodium, despite a really solid fundamental operating performance across all of the group's operations, bar one. "But notwithstanding that performance, and I'm talking of production of ounces as well as cost containment, we're going to see that our revenue declined by 25% and we'll see the downward trend in cash flow. "This is necessitating a strong strategic response from the company and it cannot just involve marginal improvements in productivity and cost optimisation at the operations," he said. The tide has turned and while fundamental demand for primary products remains robust, current pri...

The Economist tydskrif het die afgelope week hulle Big Mac indeks opgedateer vir 2024 en die rand weer ongeveer 41% onderwaardeer teen die dollar. Die wisselkoers behoort R11,32 teen die dollar te wees. Maar maak enige iets hiervan saak of sin? Kan iemand iets hieraan doen? Hierdie episode word ondersteun deur Economic Research Southern Africa en die NWU Sakeskool.

The Economist magazine updated their Big Mac index for 2024 last week and again the rand is undervalued by around 41% against the dollar. The exchange rate should be R11.32 against the dollar. But does any of this matter or make sense? Can someone do something about this? This episode is supported by Economic Research Southern Africa and the NWU Business School.

Me confieso un fan de la saga de Bond, James Bond. Entre otras cosas por el protagonismo que suelen tener los coches en estas películas. Y es que el creador del personaje, Ian Fleming, era un fanático del automóvil. Vamos a repasar todos los coches que ha conducido nuestro agente secreto favorito… te vas a sorprender: Ha conducido desde un Citroën 2CV… hasta medio R11. Y algunos, completamente olvidados… Ya explicaremos lo del “medio”… Por lo general se asume que James Bond, muy “brittish” él, lleva un Aston Martin y generalmente un DB5. Este es un error común, pues evidentemente no es el único coche de James Bond, ni siquiera se ha usado en la mayoría de las 25 películas producidas hasta la fecha ni, desde luego, ha sido el primero. Ese honor, el de ser el primero, le corresponde al Blower Bentley 4.5 litros de 1930. Y muchos diréis que no habéis visto ese coche en ninguna películas… así es. Pero es el coche que usa James Bond en su primera novela, Casino Royale, aparecida en 1953. Y para el que piense que el DB5 es el primer coche usado por James Bond en una película… ¡Pues también se equivoca! Ese honor le corresponde a otro coche muy británico, pese a que su nombre suene francés, el Sumbeam Alpine de 1962. Vamos a repasar todos o casi todos los coches que condujo James Bond, ya sea porque era su coche, porque era el coche de su “empresa”, el MI16 o porque los alquilaba cuando llegaba a alguno de los escenarios idílicos propios de la serie. Citaremos la película en la que aparece, con el título usado en España, un año de referencia, a veces del coche a veces del estreno de la película. 1. Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible (1957). Aparece en la primera película de la saga “Agente 007 contra el Dr. No” 2. Sunbeam Alpine (1962). En esa misma película el coche que “chupa” más pantalla es alquilado y es el citado Sunbeam Alpine de 1952, un deportivo relativamente modesto de 1,6 litros y 80 CV. 3. Bentley 3 ½ Litre (1935). Llegamos a la segunda película de la saga “Desde Rusia con amor” en la que el MI16 cede al agente 007 un coche con estilo y clase, pero algo “entrado en años”. 4. Aston Martin DB5 (1963). Y, ¡Por fin! en la tercera película de la saga, “James Bond contra Goldfinger” aparece el DB5. Este coche repite en varias películas, en ocasiones “compartiendo cartel” con modelos más modernos: Es el caso, entre otras, de “Operación Trueno”, “Goldeneye”, “El mañana nunca muere”, “Casino Royal” y otras. 5. Aston Martin DBS (1969). Un gran olvidado y un coche para mi precioso. Aparece en el film “El servicio secreto de su majestad”. 6. “Moon Buggy” (1971). Es que James Bond llegó hasta la luna en “Diamantes para la eternidad” película en la que Sean Connery huye de los malos a los mandos de este buggy lunar. 7. AMC Hornet (1971). En “El hombre de la pistola de oro” suben al Roger Moore en nada menos que en AMC Hornet… 8. AMC Matador Coupé “volador” (1974). Porque en 1974, en la misma película crearon un AMC “volador” que volaba de verdad… solo a baja altura. Un peligro. 9. Lotus Esprit (1977). Bond le es infiel a Aston Martin y utiliza un coche muy británico, diseñado por Giugiaro y muy especial: El Lotus Esprit. Primero en “La espía que me amo” y luego en versión Turbo en “Solo para tus ojos”. Es muy famosa la versión “submarina” de la primera película… apodada “Wet Nelie”. 10. Citroën 2 CV (1981). Para mí una de las mejores persecuciones del cine y de la saga 007 la puedes ver en “Solo para tus ojos”. 11. Bajaj RE (1983). He incluido este triciclo como una “Licencia periodística” pues no es en esencia un coche… pero ¡que espectáculo” Esta persecución de la película “Octopussy” por el mercado indio de Udaipur os aseguro que vale la pena… y como siempre, Roger Moore ni se despeina… 12. Renault 11 (1985). Aparece en la película “Panorama para matar”. Otra persecución espectacular, sobre todo cuando el coche se parte por la mitad y mi James Bond favorito, Roger Moore, sigue con medio R11 como si tal cosa. 12+1. Aston Martin V8 Vantage (1977). Timothy Dalton se estrena en “007 Alta tensión” de 1987… para mi es probablemente el peor, o el menos bueno, James Bond de todos. No así su coche, un espectacular V8 Vantage. 14. BMW Z3 (1995). En 1995 y con Pierce Brosnan el MI16 “se echa al monte” y deja de utilizar coches británicos para pasarse a BMW. Para mí un Z3, con todos mis respetos, no le pega nada a James Bond. 15. BMW 750i (1997). Aunque menos le pega el Serie 7 E38 de “El mañana nunca muere”. Brosnan no tuvo buena suerte con sus coches… como veremos… 16. BMW Z8 (2000). En la penúltima película de Brosnan, por fin, le dan un coche “decente” … aunque no sea inglés: Nos referimos al BMW Z8, rabiosa novedad en ese momento. Potente, precioso pero que no nos hacía olvidar a los Aston Martin. 17. Aston Martin Vanquish (2001). En “Muere otro día” vuelta, con acierto, a Aston Martin. 18. Aston Martin DB9 (2004). En el film “Spectre” aparece uno de mis coches favoritos. 19. Aston Martin DB10 (2014). Como este DB10 un coche creado por y para la película “Spectre” y en cuyo diseño participó el propio director de la película, Sam Mendes. 20. Aston Martin Valhalla (2019). Este modelo, presentado como prototipo en 2019, fue el protagonista junto con Craig de la película “Sin tiempo para morir” de 2021, de momento la última de la saga… Me he divertido con este guion… creo que Rodrigo no tanto buscando imágenes de estos 20 coches.

Noluthando Mthonti-Mlambo speaks to Trialogue Director, Cathy Duff about the latest annual edition of the Trialogue Business in Society Handbook which has reported that South African companies have spent an estimated R11.8 billion on corporate social investment in the 2023 financial year. The handbook reflects a continued recovery in CSI expenditure, with more than half of surveyed companies (59%) reporting an increase in CSI spend, compared to 36% in 2021. About 60% of companies determined their CSI budget as a percentage of net profit after tax (NPAT), supporting the primary reason for increases and decreases in CSI as changes in corporate profits. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Democratic Alliance (DA) leader John Steenhuisen is confident that the "remarkable" turnaround happening in KwaZulu-Natal's (KZN's) uMngeni municipality could be replicated province-wide, if KZN voters install a Multi-Party Charter government in 2024. Steenhuisen wrote in his weekly letter on Friday that having borne the brunt of the African National Congress's "failure" during the July riots of 2021, KZN looks set to "rise from the ashes" next year. He highlighted that uMngeni municipality has quickly become a shining beacon of hope and success in this "deeply troubled province". "Its trajectory of progress began when the people of uMngeni elected KZN's very first DA mayor in 2021 by a margin of just 46 votes, showing Springbok-style, that every point counts. uMngeni's success is not due to one person or factor, but rather to consistent effort and commitment by a well-led group of diverse South Africans working together for the greater good," he said. uMngeni Mayor Chris Pappas is the DA's Premier candidate for KZN. "Our '1+1=WIN' campaign is targeted at getting every single DA supporter to play their part, by persuading and assisting one unregistered person they know, to register and vote DA," Steenhuisen said. He highlighted the service delivery pact signed by the DA and Inkatha Freedom Party earlier this year, and said the parties are the two largest in the Multi-Party Charter that has united eight political parties around a common vision and set of priorities for rescuing South Africa. Steenhuisen explained that on taking office, uMngeni's youthful team, led by Pappas and DA Deputy Mayor Sandile Mnikathi, rolled up their sleeves and got down to work cleaning up the streets, fixing infrastructure, and igniting the economy of the Midlands municipality. In just two years, all uMngeni's inherited debt had been paid off and it achieved an unqualified audit for 2022/23, by modernising the systems of the municipality to improve efficiency and limit corruption, he explained. Steenhuisen added that this financial health had enabled the party to purchase R35-million worth of heavy equipment to fix roads and manage waste, and to triple the budget for road repairs from R11-million to R30-million. To make communities safer, the DA opened a traffic office and vehicle pound, and purchased 6 new law enforcement vehicles. "They understand keenly that this is the consistent, concerted action required to build people's confidence in the future, which in turn spurs the investment and job creation needed to grow dignity and improve lives," said Steenhuisen.

Noluthando Mthonti-Mlambo speaks to Eskom's Acting CFO, Martin Buys about the company's results. The power utility incurred a net loss after tax of R23.9 billion, a significant increase from the R11.9 billion net loss reported for the previous financial year. Primary energy expenses, specifically the expenditure to supplement generation capacity through the usage of open-cycle gas turbines (OCGTs), remained the biggest contributor to the financial loss, with a total of R29.7 billion spent on both Eskom and independent power producers in the period under review. This is almost double the R14.7 billion spent in the previous year.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nick Hedley, Financial journalist Came across an article from Financial Journalist, Nick Hedley, and he says that Based on the original Turkish agreement with Karpowership, SA would have to fork out an estimated R218 billion over 20 years for a measly 1 220MW of power equating to about R11 billion a year for a one-stage reduction in load shedding. Nick says that the current deal doesn't make sense as we'd be overpaying for a solution which insufficient in alleviating SA from the current loadshedding challenges and that SA should rather look to China for a more adequate solutionSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Durante muchos años la mayor parte de los modelos de Renault tenían como nombre un simple número. Pero, a diferencia de otras marcas, en las que el número era una pista, en Renault el número despista. Así que vamos a repasar todos… del R3 al R900, ¿o no sabías que hubo un R900, una especie de monovolumen con motor V8? ¡Hoy nos vamos a divertir! Porque es cierto que en otras marcas la numeración te da una pista. Pongamos por ejemplo BMW. Sabes que el primer número te da una referencia de la categoría del coche, un serie 3 es más que un serie 1 y menos que un serie 5. Además, los impares son 4 puertas laterales y los pares 2. Y las dos siguientes cifras te orientan sobre la cilindrada… todo muy organizadito y muy alemán… algo parecido hace, por ejemplo, Mercedes-Benz. Pues en Renault resulta que un R15 es un deportivo y que un R16 es una berlina media. Un R10 es un tres volúmenes, pero el R9 es también 3 volúmenes, como el R12… pero en cambio el R11 es dos volúmenes… ¡Vaya lio! ¿O no? Pues la verdad es que no. Cierto que no hay una lógica “global” pero por el conocimiento de la marca y de los modelos lo cierto es que la inmensa mayoría de los casos nadie tiene ningún problema para saber de qué coche hablamos. Hay excepciones, como el R3 que no todo el mundo conoce, o el R7 que no lo hubo en todos los países, o los R15, R15 y R17 no muy conocidos en España. Y la estrella del video de hoy, el R900. Y empezamos, por orden ascendente y con una advertencia: NO hemos tenido en cuenta los coches de competición sobre todo los F1. ¡Vamos allá! R3 (1961), R4 (1961), R5 (1972), R6 (1968), R7 (1974), R8 (1962), R9 (1981), R10 (1965), R11 (1981), R12 (1969), ¿R12+1?, R14 (1976), R15 (1971), R16 (1965), R17 (1971), R18 (1978), R19 (1988), R20 (1975), R21 (1986), R25 (1983), R30 (1975) y R900 (1959) Conclusión. ¿Me he olvidado de alguno? Espero vuestros comentarios . Y en un próximo vídeo, los F1. Coche del día. Cualquiera me valdría. Confieso que cuando vi los primeros dibujos, ni siquiera eran fotos, de los R20 y R30 me enamoré de ese coche. Pero no, el coche del día es el R16, un coche que cuando le vi me pareció un R6 “grandote” y que cuando lo probé me enamoró… un TX tendría, sin duda, en mi garaje.

Heavy-duty equipment multinational Barloworld says it will unbundle and separately list Zeda, the group's integrated vehicle mobility solutions provider. Zeda trades under the Avis and Budget brands in South Africa, as well as ten other sub-Saharan African countries. The unbundling will be implemented by way of listing 189-million ordinary Zeda shares on the main board of the JSE, effective December 13, as well as a pro rata distribution in specie of such JSE-listed Zeda distribution shares for no consideration to holders of Barloworld ordinary shares entitled to receive this distribution on December 19. Moreover, the unbundling will be implemented on the basis that Barloworld ordinary shareholders recorded on the Barloworld share register at 17:00 on December 15 will receive one Zeda distribution share for every one Barloworld ordinary share held. Barloworld explains the pro rata distribution in specie of the Zeda distribution shares will be paid from sources other than 'contributed tax capital' as contemplated in the Income Tax Act and shall accordingly constitute a 'dividend' for purposes of the Income Tax Act. RATIONALE Barloworld is actively pivoting its portfolio towards defensive, relatively asset-light and cash generative industrial sectors, based on a business-to-business operating model. To this end, Barloworld has divested several businesses identified as noncore to its strategic ambition. The board believes that, to separate the business of Zeda through an unbundling will enable Zeda to execute on its own strategy and allow it to operate in a more focused and efficient manner, unshackled by the umbrella of Barloworld's capital allocation framework. Additionally, the Barloworld board says Zeda will benefit from a fully dedicated executive management team and its own dedicated board of directors. It is expected that the unbundling of Zeda will position it as a distinct sub-Saharan Africa-focused integrated mobility solutions providers and provide enhanced governance, cost of capital and ability to drive a market-leading return profile. For Barloworld, the unbundling marks the completion of its noncore divestiture programme, allows the group to focus on its consumer industries and industrial equipment pillars, and delivers deleveraging of the balance sheet. FINANCIAL RESULTS Barloworld has posted an increase of 48.2% in headline earnings a share to R17.71 for the year ended September 30, from R11.95 (restated) in the prior financial year. Basic earnings per share (EPS) amounted to R10.51 in the reporting year, compared with basic EPS of R13.90 (restated) posted in the prior year. The group's operating profit from core trading activities increased by 12.8% in the year under review to R3.7-billion, from R3.2-billion in the prior year. Barloworld has declared an ordinary final dividend of 295c apiece for the second half of the year, bringing the total dividend to 460c apiece, and a special dividend of 550c apiece. This compares with total ordinary and special dividends of 437c and R13.50 declared in the prior year, respectively. CEO Dominic Sewala says the group delivered improved results despite some key challenges in the prevailing operating environment, He anticipates headwinds in the short term resulting from the effects of high inflation; however, the Equipment Southern Africa business is well positioned to achieve sustainable growth in the long term, driven by the need for infrastructure development and increased mining activity to support the energy transition to zero-carbon emissions. Barloworld says it continues to manage exposures and risks to its Equipment Eurasia business including a strong focus on addressing the needs of employees through a very uncertain and challenging period, while remaining agile and adaptable to ensure compliance with an ever-changing regulatory environment. Sewala confirms the company has started with cost-reducing measures and right-sizing working capital, in line with some expect...

Harmony Gold Mining Company's disaggregated Tshepong North and Tshepong South gold mines stole the proverbial show by both delivering strong operational performances in the three months to the end of September. The two Free State mines provided 37% of group operating free cash flow and drove much of the improvement in Harmony's optimised underground South African portfolio. Owing to better recovered grades, Tshepong North's operating free cash flow margin improved to 11% this quarter from -13% in the last quarter of the financial year to June 30, while Tshepong South's operating free cash flow margins improved to 22% from 9%, with the two mines together bringing in R314-million of free cash. In fact, it was the South African underground and surface operations that did it for Harmony this quarter, when production from its international segment slumped 28% to 32 537 oz. As a rand-cost producer, the gold price received continued to move in Harmony's favour, increasing 1% to R954 916/kg from R944 671/kg in the previous quarter, resulting in a 1% increase in gold revenue to R11 226-million. Collectively, improved performances at South African high-grade and South African optimised underground operations resulted in a 17%-higher total group operating free cash flow to R857-million. Adjusting for the closure of the Bambanani gold mine, the remaining South African underground production increased by 2% to 8 467 kg (272 219 oz), supported by a 1% increase in underground recovered grades to 5.35 g/t. Production at the South African surface operations increased 4% to 1 917 kg (61 634 oz) on the improved performance of Mine Waste Solutions. The loss from electricity loadshedding was 100 kg (3 215 oz) this quarter, the Johannesburg- and New York-listed company stated in a release to Mining Weekly on November 17. The free cash flow contribution of R407-million from the high-grade Mponeng and Moab Khotsong gold mines represented 48% of total group operating free cash flow, with Hidden Valley in Papua New Guinea generating R82-million. Group all-in sustaining costs increased by 5% to R907 864/kg ($1 657/oz) mainly from lower production at Hidden Valley, Kusasalethu and Target 1. Net debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation increased to 0.26 times in this quarter from 0.1 times in the previous quarter on currency translation and working capital movements. Net debt increased to R2 070-million from R731-million. A 1.4-million- to 1.5-million-ounce gold producer with near-term copper prospects, Harmony remains on track to meet cost, grade and production guidance. Continued focus is placed on delivering safe production and value creation through execution and productivity initiatives. To boost its copper footprint, Harmony last month announced the acquisition of Eva Copper in Australia. Alongside the Wafi-Golpu project in Papua New Guinea, this investment introduces near-term copper into the portfolio. For four consecutive quarters, the lost-time injury frequency rate has been trending below 6. This quarter it is at 5.58.

In this episode, I reflect on a recent news story about Don Ogden -- a story that came as a surprise to many (myself included), and a story that was known to others and brushed under the rug for decades.

A deadline of the end of October has been set for the signing of power purchase and implementation agreements by the remaining 22 Bid Window Five (BW5) renewables projects, following the conclusion of the first such agreements with three wind projects, with a combined capacity of 420 MW and a combined investment value of R11-billion. IPP Office head Bernard Magoro reported on Thursday that all BW5 preferred bidders had now secured grid-connection Budget Quotes from Eskom, the absence of which had delayed the conclusion of the round from an initial deadline of April, and that “the next step is to now sign the agreements”. “It did take long to get these three project agreements concluded . . . but the base agreements that have emerged should make the process much easier for the remaining 22 projects. “So, we are ready for other projects to come forward and to sign by the end of October,” Magoro said at an event in Centurion, Gauteng, where wind project agreements were signed with EDF and black empowerment partner Gibb-Crede, including power purchase agreements with Eskom. “Given the current load-shedding, there is really no reason to delay and there will be other wind bid windows. “So, if you miss this bus, there is another bid window that's coming,” he added, indicating that the IPP Office was prepared to move forward from the round even if some projects failed to conclude agreements. Likewise, he indicated that the deadline for the signing of project agreements for the remaining Risk Mitigation Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (RMIPPPP) preferred bidders, including the three power ship projects, had also been set for the end of October. “We have been looking at a few bid-optimisation requests that we received from the preferred bidders . . . and we have secured legal opinion on those so that the process is not compromised. “That, too, has been finalised and we now want to conclude both programmes [BW5 and RMIPPPP] by the end of October.” BATTERY STORAGE BID WINDOW Magoro also announced that a battery storage bidding round would be launched on September 30 and that bid submissions under BW6 of the renewables programme, which had been expanded from 2 600 MW to 4 200 MW, were anticipated on October 3. Lessons, he said, had been learnt from the BW5 delays, which had been extensive, with preferred bidders having been identified in October last year following the launch of the bid window in April last year. The projects were initially anticipated to reach financial close by the end of April this year, but when that deadline was missed, a staggered close process was announced for the end of July and the end of September. The initial three wind projects have been given 60 days to achieve financial close, while those that sign their project agreements at the end of October are likely to be given until the end of the year to progress to financial close. Most of the delays have related to securing Budget Quotes for access to the Eskom grid. To overcome those delays, Eskom's Grid Access Unit had been beefed up and BW6 bidders had been instructed to secure cost estimate letters (CELs) from the unit before submitting a project bid. Eskom transmission group executives Segomoco Scheppers reported that the Grid Access Unit had issued CELs to prospective BW6 bidders relating to projects with a potential capacity of 32 000 MW. He said the market had also been informed of Eskom's grid constraints, particularly in the Cape provinces, as well as to where residual capacity remained through the publication of the Generation Connection Capacity Assessment. Additional information regarding available grid capacity would be released when the utility published its latest Transmission Development Plan at the end of October. WORK UNDER WAY Meanwhile, EDF's Tristan de Drouas announced that work had been under way since July on a self-build substation that would support not only the three 140 MW-apiece wind farms, but also other renewables ...

No me digáis que soy malo por llamar al Renault 14 el “coche pera”… Porque fue una idea, mala idea, de la propia Renault. Muchas cosas salieron mal para que este coche, sucesor del R12 y mucho mejor que él, no triunfase… y para que nunca viese la luz su versión coupé. No nació para competir con el Volkswagen Golf, sino con la idea de superarlo. Ahí es nada. Pero esa era la meta del director de Renault, Bernard Hanon quien no escatimó recursos. Renault en los años 70. La gama de Renault en 1970 gozaba de un gran éxito, pero excepción hecha del Renault 5, nacido en 1972, se había quedado anticuada. Hablamos de los R4, R6, R16 y del R12 y sus derivados deportivos, los R15 y R17, sin olvidar que al R8 llegó hasta el 71 en Francia y 1976 en España y México. En el segmento medio, el de mayores ventas, el R12 ya era un dinosaurio, aunque se vendía bien y tenía mucho prestigio… y tuvo algunas segundas vidas como Dacia y en mercado de América de sur. ¡Más madera! Había que pararle los pies, mejor dicho, las ruedas, al VW Golf y a todo lo se le venía y desde Renault se pusieron en marcha. Hanon pidió a Robert Broyer, diseñador del R12, que diseñase su sustituto, pero pensando en el Golf, es decir, con dos volúmenes. Y como Renault tenía prisa hizo algo hoy en día muy frecuente, pero que no lo era tanto en esos años: Llegar a un acuerdo con una marca rival, concretamente Peugeot, para desarrollar un moderno motor que acabaría siendo usado más por Peugeot que por Renault. Recibimiento frío. Hemos tenido en esta serie de coches incomprendidos coches como el #Fiat Multipla o el AMC Pacer, coches que causaron rechazo desde el principio… pero no dejaron indiferente. Eso de que se hable de ti, aunque sea mal, también pasa en los coches. El R14 no causó rechazo, fue peor, causó cierta indiferencia. El R14, incluso por dentro, a muchos les parecía “demasiado moderno” a otros, simplemente soso… como era el caso de su salpicadero. El ”coche-pera”. Y entonces a un “brillante” -con comillas- ejecutivo-creativo publicitario se le ocurrió una idea extraordinaria: Comparar al R14, que se vendía en un verde “pera” con una pera. ¿Con que objetivo? No se sabe. A lo mejor ese día este creativo no se había tomado su medicación, pero lo cierto es que esta publicidad salió adelante. ¿Y qué pasó? Que se retiró enseguida. Pero el daño estaba hecho. Los clientes, no veían esa forma de pera como una solución de diseño destacable, más bien lo interpretaban como una prueba de falta de solidez y seriedad. Al final se quedó con el mote, que rebasó Francia para llegar a otros países. Convivió cuatro años con el R12, al que apenas superaba en ventas y antes de siete años fue sustituido por el R11 y luego por el 9. Su produjeron en algo más de seis años casi un millón de coches… ¿Puede considerarse en fracaso? Hombre si te digo que del VW Golf I se han fabricado 7 millones de unidades, desde 1974 hasta 2009, cuando cesó su fabricación en Sudáfrica, pues sí. Todo es relativo. España: Más de lo mismo. La vida del R14 en España fue todavía más breve, pues no apareció hasta 1976, cuatro años más tarde, pero eso sí, era Made in Spain. A pesar de los esfuerzos de la marca, el R14 lo tuvo peor en España, un mercado mucho menos maduro y donde los coches de 2 volúmenes, pese al Golf, se perciben como “menos coche” que un tres volúmenes. ¡Hubo un coupé! El proyecto 121, que era la clave interna del R14, contemplaba una versión coupé, parecida a un Hunting Break o Shooting Brake, como más os guste… “coupé de caza” para entendernos. En 1974 François Wasservogel, propuso este concepto de un "shooting brake" basado en el R14 que entonces se estaba industrializando. Se piense en Ligier para hacer esta carrocería, pero suceden dos cosas: Una la crisis de petróleo no invita a lanzar coupés, aunque sean modestos. La otra, que se acaban de remodelar los R15 y R17… así que iba haber una rivalidad interna. Se decide dejar el proyecto para más adelante, pero el escaso éxito del R14 aconseja no liarla más. Una curiosidad, para este modelo se preveía la denominación R9, por ser impar, como los otros coupés y de una numeración inferior, que debía dar idea que se situaba por debajo de los otros modelos deportivos. Conclusión. ¿Mereció este modelo semejante “maltrato” por parte de los compradores? Pues sin duda no. Honestamente, creo que no era un producto redondo que, si tren delantero McPherson no estaba bien resuelto, que faltaban versiones más prestacionales que sí tuvieron sus rivales, entre ellas el Golf GTi, que la estética no cautivo y que la publicidad fue en error de bulto… pero, dicho todo esto, no era un mal coche, ni mucho menos. Y, en mi opinión, en este momento, precisamente porque no tuvo éxito, porque se fabricaron, pocas unidades y se mantienen aún menos, es una buena pieza de colección.

We ADORED the Belmont Days of racing last Friday and Saturday! Maybe our favorite race cards of the year! Timestamps follow as always. Forget the complaints about small fields, there were almost no undercards, the calliber of horses and races were so good! 3:03 Friday's Race 9, the True North G2 showed what a baller (and a boy) Jackie's Warrior is. 5:15 Friday's Race 10, the New York G1, had 4 Chad Brown entries, including the great Bleecker Street, Family Way (an Uncle Mo kid) and Flighty Lady, who came in for Trixie. 8:15 Saturday's Race 2 was an allowance where Weej won with Uncle Moonlight, progeny of… who else?! 8:43 R3, the Acorn G1, ended up with the 4 horses of the Apocolaypse after Echo Zulu's late scratch. Matareya dominated. 10:21 The Just a Game G1 turf, R4, offered a nice story for Peter Brant, owner of Just a Game,and now, of winner Regal Glory. 12:51 R5 was the Brooklyn G2, which Fearless won for Weej. 13:32 R6, the Woody Stephens G1 crowned Jack Christopher as a Elite

Seguro que os acordáis del vídeo “Deportivos generalistas, garantía de fracaso”. Y es que con, excepciones, siempre es así. Y en ese vídeo incluía el Renault Fuego como fracaso, lo que creó una oleada de protestas por vuestra parte… Tantas, que he elegido este modelo para inaugurar este formato de “Coches incomprendidos”. Renault quería un coupé. A pesar de su presencia exitosa en competición, del empleo del turbo en sus coches y de su experiencia en pequeños coupés, como el Floride, los R15 o R17 o el propio Alpine, Renault no tenía el prestigio de otros fabricantes europeos como Alfa Romeo o BMW entre otros. Y pensó que tener un coupé la ayudaría a conseguirlo. Opron, de Citroën a Renault. Para mí Robert Opron es el mejor diseñador de coches francés que ha diseñado coches como el Citroën Ami 6, el DS, el SM, el GS y el CX… Otros coches suyos fueron el Simca 1.100/1.200, los R9 y R11, el R25 y el denominado, “Il Mostro”; el Alfa Romeo SZ, pero es que también es el diseñador de otro de mis coches favoritos, el Alpine A310. Y, además, del Renault Fuego. La pregunta clave es: ¿Os gusta la estética del Renault Fuego? A mí, mucho. Creo que Opron tiene, como diseñador, una virtud que valoro especialmente: Sus diseños son muy personales, muy “de autor” y saca mucho partido a lo que tiene. Diseñar un coupé con el motor delantero en voladizo es complicado. Debut, éxito y “pinchazo”. En el Salón de Ginebra de 1980 se presenta en sociedad el Renault Fuego y el éxito es inmediato en Europa y Norteamérica. Al año siguiente se convierte en el Coupé más vendido en Europa. La cosa prometía. Renault se vino arriba. Y en el Salón de París de 1982 para mi cometió un error: Presentar el Fuego TD que no gustó al mercado. Además, la publicidad no fue muy acertada, con una foto del Fuego TD boca abajo se decían tres cosas, no sé cuál menos oportuna: 1. “Un Diesel que pone patas arriba la carretera”. ¿Qué quiere decir esto? 2. “Un coupé único en el Mundo”, sí, pero para mal. Por mucho turbo que tuviese, arrancar un coupé y que suene a Diésel de los ’80, en general no gustaba. 3. “El Coupé Diésel más rápido del Mundo”, lo que era falso, porque ya en 1977 Mercedes tenía un Coupé, el 300 CD Turbodiésel, que era más rápido. Fuese por esto, por cansancio del público, pero no era nada deportivo o por lo que queráis, las ventas del Fuego en Europa y en los EE.UU. de Norteamérica, cayeron en picado. ¡El patito se convierte en cisne! Para pasar de “patito feo a cisne” el Renault Fuego tuvo que emigrar. El Fuego, como ya he dicho, se comenzó a fabricar en Europa en 1980 y su producción cesó en 1985. Pero en Argentina comenzó su producción a finales de 1982 y se prolongó nada menos que 10 años, convirtiéndose en un coche de referencia. ¿Qué pasó para que en Argentina este modelo consiguiera un éxito que no tuvo en Europa, o lo tuvo poco tiempo? 1. La filial de Renault en Argentina no se limitó a seguir fabricando el coche, sino que lo evolucionó con diversas motorizaciones de hasta 2,2 litros y muchas mejoras. 2. En Argentina y en América en general, los competidores del Fuego eran otros, generalmente coches de importación más caros. Hablamos de un coche que, en Argentina, era de fabricación nacional. 3. La competición creo que fue muy importante en un país con tanta afición por el automóvil. Este coche ganó muchos campeonatos argentinos en la categoría Turismo Competición 2000 gracias, sobre todo, a Oreste Berta, un preparador muy ligado a la filial argentina. Y ahora, ¿qué? Como clásico, aquí en España, este coche, no como todos los coupés de marcas generalistas, sino incluso más que otros, ha sido despreciado por los aficionados. Pero esto ha cambiado por varios motivos, uno es que comienza a ser un coche escaso y otro, que en mi opinión es un coche que ha envejecido bien, es un coche que en este momento resulta incluso más llamativo y bonito que lo era en su tiempo. Conclusión. Honestamente, la trayectoria del Fuego en Europa puede calificarse más de fracaso que de éxito. Pero en Sudamérica yo diría que, todo lo contrario. Pero, si entendemos lo que es, un coche práctico, bonito, un coupé con nulas o escasas pretensiones deportiva, es un buen clásico, porque era un coche muy fiable. Y un diseño espectacular de Opron. Coche del día. Voy a elegir un Renault Fuego, pero una versión especial con un Kit de preparación que desarrollo el preparador argentino Berta y que elevaba la potencia a 178 CV. Este Renault Fuego GTX Berta Grupo 2 incluía muchas modificaciones, no solo en el motor, sino en frenos, suspensiones, ruedas incluso aerodinámicas. La verdad es que el coche por fuera cambiaba muy poco, pero raspaba los 210 Km/h y aceleraba sobre 1.000 m. desde parado en poco más de 30 segundos. Unas prestaciones muy serias.

South Africa is cash-strapped and the economy is not firing on all cylinders. National Treasury DG Dondo Mogajane gives a breakdown of South Africa's latest R11.4bn loan from the World Bank. This comes on the heels of a R70bn loan from the IMF in 2020.

South Africa's government has a putrid record of spending money wisely. Dr Lumkile Mondi from the Wits School of Economics and Finance is cautiously optimistic the R11.4bn World Bank loan will be prudently allocated, but warns the vultures must be kept at bay if the loan is to have any impact.

If you secretly hate us but haven't been able to find a different source of financial information, I have some great news! I found a Freakonomics Radio episode that summed up exactly the principles we champion on this show. In this episode, Simon and I take the financial literacy survey. It's only three questions, but understanding their answers will enable you to make great financial decisions. If this sounds vaguely familiar, you might be thinking of this podcast we did last year. Here are the questions: Suppose you have R100 in a savings account and the interest rate was 2% per year. After 5 years, how much do you think you would have in the account if you left the money to grow? More than R102 Exactly R102 Less than R102 Imagine that the interest rate on your savings account was 5% per year and inflation was 6% per year. After one year, how much would you be able to buy with the money in this account? More than today. Exactly the same as today. Less than today. Do you think the following statement is true or false: buying a single company stock usually provides a safer return than a collective investment scheme like an ETF or unit trust. Win of the week: Rob has been coming to our events for ages. He has some ETF investments, but he's been wanting to trade since the day I met him. This week, he sent this email: Yes I have done my first trade and  bought my first bunch of shares (7 shares in total - some bits and bobs) (as oppose to ETFs) I am not sure how I am supposed to feel! Its bit like sex for the first time - did not know what to expect! Frederick My world has been turned upside down! I started listening to your podcast a week or so ago, and fok... my google is broken!! From googling sport all day I now spend endless nights and have sleepless nights on where to put my money and avoid tax as much as possible! I use to think money is money and my RA is perfect and that life is sorted! I was wrong! I have an RA (diversified wealth builder) with Sanlam. Any thoughts here please? My FEES (to my knowledge) is 0.65%. It says “management fee at benchmark %”. I put some money in monthly with a 10% annual increase. By retirement I should be paid out R11,5m. Let's say you live another lifetime after your working life, how much will you need? It's possible to retire at 60 and live to 100. https://justonelap.com/podcast-much-money-need/ Frank is trading Simon's Lazy system and wants to know if he can park his money somewhere while he waits for entries.

I asked author Sam Beckbessinger hers and she said on R10k per month, you'll earn R19m in your  working life. Mine is that a low cost of living is basically the answer to all your problems. Lesigisha wrote back after we sent him a shout-out last week. Thank you so much for the great affirmation I received from the submission of my email, it really really went a long way in validating what I'm doing. It's hard to start on this journey, but after doing it for a while one does sometimes get despondent and wonder if this is worth it. Your affirmation has helped reinvigorate me and I go back to it every time someone says they're waiting until they have a bigger shoe size before they can start making “real money decisions”. Khuliso's mind-blowing fact is that you don't need huge amounts of money to invest. As a result of his mail I spent a lot of time thinking about kotas this morning. The most mind-blowing fact was finding out that if I can afford to buy a kota (R23.00) or street wise 2 I can afford to invest in the JSE and create wealth. Even though it's little money, over the long term it makes a difference. In my case the problem was lack of information rather than a lack of money to invest. I am now very conscious about my spending habits. Whenever I buy takeaways in the back of my mind I keep on thinking of ETFs that I could be buying. When I look back, I see missed opportunities where I could have invested and build wealth. Subscribe to our RSS feed here. Subscribe or rate us in iTunes.
