The Land Bank is asking its creditors to co-ordinate with each other after it defaulted on its obligations last week.
The formal declaration of an event of default by the bank last week meant that investors in its notes, a debt instrument used to fund its commercial activities, can demand immediate repayment of debts owed. The Land Bank said on Tuesday it was requesting the note holders form a co-ordinated group, and had taken up an offer from the Association for Savings and Investment SA to take the lead on co-ordinating the note holder group.
The bank said it was seeking a deferral of all interest and capital payments which fall due within the next six months, for a period of 12 months. Moody’s Investors Service downgraded the Land Bank further into junk on Friday on news of the institution failing to honour its obligations, and said the government’s willingness and capacity was “weaker than previously thought”.
Land bank has been mismanaged. Now it wants collaboration. It should go bust.

EFF wants Covid-19 unemployment income grant to stayTHE EFF has warned the government not to stop the 6-month unemployment income grant for the jobless if it wants peace in South Africa. And I and many others want Malema and the EFF to GO... This doesn't seem right.. 😩 Will people even go look for jobs? The CIC even wants the unemployment grant to increase to R1000. All for the unemployed? Idk man.. This is exactly what will happen. Once grants are given or increased, it becomes politically impossible to take them away.
