Die ekonomie minuut

Die afgelope week was die Brics lande en die dollar, of te wel, alternatiewe tot die dollar in die nuus. Ons het gehoor dat Rusland en Indië hulle skuld aan die Brics bank in hulle eie geldeenhede wil terugbetaal. Indië en China het ook aan die Suid-Afrikaanse regering gevra oor die moontlikheid om betalingsinfrastruktuur aan te pas om handelstransaksies in eie geldeenhede te betaal. Is hierdie di...

The Department of Environmental Affairs recently gave permission for Eskom to operate three of Kusile's generation units without a flue-gas desulfurisation unit. With the predictions of high stages of loadshedding throughout the winter months, most of us surely feel that Kusile should be up and running - we can worry about clean air later. One understands the necessity of electricity supply an...

Die departement van omgewingsake het onlangs toestemming gegee dat Eskom drie van Kusile se opwekkingseenhede kan bedryf sonder die filters wat swaeldioksiedbesoedeling verminder.

Mens verstaan die noodsaak van elektrisiteitsv...
