Now its really done. Both the economists gone. Think Trev will finally accept that World Bank post?

[Killa Merc]

Nah.. we biting of them. Blair was 'recalled' a while ago.


I hope the other TM (Tito Mboweni) stays.

There might be blood on the JSE if he goes as well.

he should take it and hopefully negotiate a discount on the money we owe them  

we still owe them money right.

btw this discussion has been going down on the Mbeki Resignation thread.

Things are really getting out of hand.
Eish....... I just don't even know what to say.

Markets rallied somewhat after Manuel confirmed that he was willing to serve under a new president, hinting that this might not be his final goodbye. Should soon-to-be-confirmed acting president Kgalema Motlanthe wish to, he could rehire Manuel.

Manuel, who is currently in Washington, will hold a press conference at 15:15.

[Killa Merc]

I hope Tito stays. but it seems unlikely as Vavi wants him out. the ANC has been hijacked people. Who will you vote for?

Our Westmister style system is straight up biting from Britain. We are the biters!

Our Westmister style system is straight up biting from Britain. We are the biters!

what if britain paid all our minister's to leave... so our country can f*** each other up... to lower the coloured and black population

But here's what i don't understand- people are going all over these resignations- it was Mbeki's cabinet- if he resigns he must take his people with- a president elects the cabinet- not the party- so they had to leave- i'm not at all suprised bet you some of them will get back to their jobs after the elections- or sooner
