Credit ratings agency Fitch forecasts that the ongoing impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, fading base effects, and persistent structural constraints will see the country’s economic growth slow to 2.1% in 2022. It added that poor labour market conditions will cap private consumption growth.
Key to this is that Fitch anticipates president Cyril Ramaphosa to face continued opposition from leftist elements within the ruling African National Congress , but to survive a leadership challenge at the party’s elective conference in December 2022. South Africa’s ratio of government debt to GDP is expected to be reined in eventually as well, with debt stabilising. However, eliminating the deeply popular president from the leadership of the ANC, Fitch said, would likely see ‘slower progress on structural reforms’.The ANC’s poor performance in the 2021 local government elections is likely to affect both growth and the fiscal trajectory of the country, say economists at Momentum Investments.
“If the focus has indeed shifted from localised issues, such as service delivery, to concerns over national policy, this would pose a further threat to government’s fiscal consolidation and debt stabilisation goals.”

Heeeee hoo bese! We are still struggling from pravin gordhan's lies about cyril ramaphosa. So please give us a break!
The rand needs to chill it better make up its mind if it's a political party or not
Last of last year... 2 litre cooking oil was between R30 - R35-00 at most major stores in S.A. Today the very same oil is R75-00... that's over 100% percent increase... and that's only just one product, don't fool us please 🙎🏾♂️... The Rand is gone with the Land!.
We will pick it up
You talking bull shit, marete
Stop with the blackmail.
What has the “strong” rand done for us anyways… everything has been going up in prices including basic services
🤣🤣🤣😂😂 I thought we are already in Junk status under his presidency but hei anything that makes our Bishop's happy
Do you see that tree? Yes that one facing the opposite direction...That is South African journalism and almost everyone knows why🙄🙄🙄
The majority of South Africans are already poor & since 2019 the living standards of South Africans have declined, what I'm trying to say is you cannot threat poor people with more poverty.
Woow, ok.. this is a reality..
Let the rand fall. We will go back to barter training. We cannot as a country have an emotional currency
Let it collapse then
Badakiwe that's all I'm gonna say Danko!!!! Ngabe mfana nizoVota nini
It can go and suck 🍆 and those who controls it then we not moved even smh.
They’re mos planning to pick it up, anyway.
We don't care about that, ever since ur CR17 is a president everything is expensive, he's not good for this country specially in the black nation
Don't worry RAND will start its own political party
I refer you to Section 1 of Nomvula Act 51 of 2015. Aliwe sizolicosha 👇🏿👇🏿👇🏿
Tsek. Don't come here with propaganda. We know these tactics very well. Cyril has been useless.
...as if is DOING WELL as NOW !!! the ANC MUST G.O.
GTFOH
Black people were born into recession, they will perish into recession, whether Ramaphosa is pres or not, whether ANC rules or not..
Let it fall maybe the people who brought the rand into our land will leave, so that we as Africans can clean our oen house. They can take MfanaKeMfana with them
We are tired of being fed this thumamine by stellenbosch as if is our messhia
Rubbish
Let it collapse
Such a nonsensical article
Apart from oil what do we need from other countries?
Maliwe
The perennial fear mongering by you know who
We don’t care
When R500 billion disappeared, this bloody rand became stronger, didn't collapse. This proves that nothing good can be attached to the strength or loss of strength of this moody rand. In fact it chooses who to please, hates poor black people.
Which economists are those? Ke ba kopa one by one.
What hasn't collapsed under him? So if that happens it will be the last he collapses.. let it happen I pray he loses 🙏
ta_kweila
Let it collapse.... a revolution will not be stopped. The ground has had enough hence loans that dont have clear mandates... We know the puppets n u are one of them. History has not taught you anything. Empires always crumble. History doesn't repeat itself but people do.... Haha
So is also CR17’s faction PR desk? I never thought you’d stoop so low… how we long for honest journalism in South Africa. This is utter rubbish 🤮🤮
Let it collapse
Le bua masepa fela

There are 26 letters of Alphabets. We don't don't him and his Colonial Rand. He must go worship his white Queen in England because they got him by the balls.
What do u call it now? Dead?
Lol!!
Wtf
Let the rand plummet. This time around we'll definitely pick it up if it falls!
Collapsing is nothing... It must die if need be, but that guy must go. Mere fact that big organizations are firing ppl for not vaccinating under his watch.... Cyril ayo hwa hle
Let it collapse for f*CK sake...and when the Rand collapses he should also collapse as well...coz ke MFANA🤦🏾♂️
The Propaganda machine in play.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fck the Rand I GOT XRP!!!!
😂😂😂😂 Looting continues
We don't care, let the Rand collapse to the floor, we will lift it up, Ramapuppet is going and we can't tolerate this bs for long, he had done nothing to improve the quality of life of common citizens,all they do is squander all the money through corrupt deals,he must go
Let it collapse, fok we can't be held ransom like this
What is the purpose of democracy, if the rand elect the President, lea lapiša lena maan. Why don't you just open a campaign office and do it freely stop hiding behind the Rand
Kleva blacks will definitely believe and support this propaganda.
Let the rand collapse, the people will choose whomever they want.The markets should not and cannot dictate who does the people want to represent them.
He must start by paying his members Luthuli house but he's failing to do that so the rand can collapse we do not care everything is expensive bcos of him. Hamba Ramaphosa Hamba ixesha lifikile
It can collapse
Asinendaba nalelo rand ne Zim dollar yahamba but bayaphila ngaphandle kwedollar
Weeh is this a joke or wat?no justice in mzansi serious
Go to hell with those views
African people have a reputation of incompetence because bad leaders occupy office and good leaders stay home and they come in ethnics. Measured in aptitude not nepotism.
Nomvula will pick it up
The wasted four years have been observed. Rather collapse the rand, it will gain its strength after the inauguration of the new President of this country. We have had enough ANC divisions already.
🤣🤣🤣let it fall
Anime
Nonsense!
That's not our problem. Go on and manipulate the rand as he stands for your own interests....
Hayi yi-film
Then let it be, we'll work to strengthen it once we have gotten rid of him.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 futsek
AlkebulanThe Ramaphosa is not the Messiah
They are getting ready to manipulate the rand. This economist if he's worth his salt knows there is no such
And most likely will collapse if he is , as he hasn’t acted on corruption and ANC incompetence
And there's someone out here who actually believes this 😩
Rand ya masepa... Bring it on nxa!!!
Let's not talk about South Africa has fallen apart due to more power failure, streets not attended to be fixed, robots are out in Johannesburg
Unemployment rate at its peak, petrol keep rising, there is covivi, food expensive, MYANC SAns depend on grants , CyrilRamaphosa is forever shocked,SA is burning n Rand never reacted but will react on that? SA media is a movie Yifilmi 😭😂😂😂😂😂😂 SAfmBTH UpdateAtNoon
It has already collapsed along with our state coffers, public infrastructure, and our dignity as a country.
Re tlae topa
It must collapse if need be
Ramaphosa as the ANC president 👇, has to be fucked so the rand doesn't collapse 🚮🖕🏿,what kind of rand is that ?
Scare tactics
Let it collapse together with the Constitution. Asinandaba thina.
Uhumm, we'll pick it up...
That's absolute nonsense the country has collapsed under his leadership and it keeps getting worse.
What if Cyril dies in an accident or something? He's mortal like all of us, he could die tomorrow morning. What will the rand do? This economist is talking nonsense.
We are in the dog already.
then let it collapse
But he ain't doing anything, so what will it make it to collapse? 🤔😂

Such reporting is tantamount to treason. Absolute garbage
Let it fall
The rand can collapse it will pick up again
The rand is so MOODY
Mxm
😂😅
But don’t his bosses control the currency
This is normal when a new president takes over. No one knows how the new president is going to lead the country, not even the markets manipulators. That's basic economics and this happens in every country when a new president is elected, their currency collapses.
Ramaphosa is burning our country. Can somebody issue a warrant for the public arrest of the president!
Re tla e thiba ka dib....
It's fine, let it collapse.RamaphosaMustGo
Nonsense
Let it collapse cause its not helping the majority even when its positive.

LMFAO! the rand has been collapsing since 1960, the purchasing power of R100 in 1960 equals R9,464.15 today, doesn't matter if we re-elect the mfer! coz every fiat currency in the world is going to zero against gold & bitcoin.
What the hell has this guy done? Really? Rand blackmail?
Last people were saying no one can pick up the Rand, but it can be carried? 👀
Let it collapse it doesn't not serve anyway and Ramaphosa has nor improved anything.
Voetsek
Hahh thats a blackmail.😂😂😂😂😂😂
Stellenbosch Mafia will likely lose control of political power if Ramaphosa is not re-elected ANC president it's not about the Rand.
Paid opinion piece.
It's been collapsing since his appointment and it doesn't serve the majority it's all fake business practice
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 let it collapse will shall pick it up.
Next they will tell us if ANC not re-elected in 2024 South Africa will be on fire

The rand canvassing for Cyril. Must be nice.

Amasimba ke lombhedo enisitshela wona la, iRandi collapsed long before lomkhufefe owu Ramaphosa. Manje nifuna abuyiswe ngenkani lo Ramaphosa wenu ingakho senisisabisa ngale Randi leni. Let it collapse bcos it is as useless as himself it doesn't do us any good in anyway.
Nonsense is he God,he already messed our economy.RSA is at its knees because of this guy.Its high time we stop blaming the past President he has 4years to account.His only proud of Zondo commission,besides that he hasn't done anything for Mzansi than bringing vaccines to the RSA
How much did u get to report dis?
🤣🤣🤣
Rand has collapsed a long time ago . Don't scare us with your bullsh*t
Who are these economists?
Let it. We are so tired of bullying vis financial vehicles. We don't want him. Those who love him so much must take him away with them
We will survive. We surviving the worst. That is CR. Ruperts rand manipulators have started.
They are showing their true colours
Let it collapse
Fvck the Rand and fvck ramaphosa presidency
“Aliwe sizolicosha!”
This is very likely, as this would mean the looters are back.
Ao👀
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 but we know that it is manipulated
Lol
Bullshit
Just via inflation, the rand has lost 85% of its buying power in the last 30 years (99.5% over 60 years). Against the $ it's dropped from R2.89 in 1992 to R15.31 in 2022. However you look at it, the rand has been collapsing over time. CR has in fact had little impact either way.
Let it collapse then... Cause as things stand, I don't think it can go any lower. And why now, surely the rand has gone down based on his leadership alone, and now the same rand he let go wants to be his Savior? This rand is not loyal
Aliwe sizolicosha
So the rand fond of anc now?
WMC is doing a great job already. Let it collapse! We're tired of being manipulated.
😂😂😂

The rand is factional and it already worsened during his tenure 😭😭
Rand loves murdered.why?
😂 Paid headlines
You are doing a very bad job campaigning for him. Give ANC members in good standing space to go into a conference and elect people they believe will take the mandate of the organisation forward. Why it did not collapse when Groenewald of the FF+ took over from Peter Mulder?
Don't stress Mam' uNomvula is still alive😫😫
We will pick it up... 😌
Let it collapse!
The Rand will have to vote for him if wants to avoid collapsing.
🤣🤣
We will pick it up …
Indeed Stelenbosch mafia controls the rand, Maria Ramos we see her
Dear reader, note how you are being prepared for the shenanigans that transpired when monopoly capital fiddled with the rand during the tenure of His Excellency President JG Zuma.
How is he helping it not collapse
Mara the blackmail 🤯💔💔
ali_naka They are no longer hiding their funders interests
Let it tank if its stability is anchored on person, but not policies. Country cannot be held at ransom
Let it collapse nxn
What kind of nonsense is this now? This economists are soo mad
Let it collapse but chances are very slim for second term
We'll never fall for this nonsense ever again. We know what they do with the Rand. Maria Ramos admitted but wasn't held accountable. Corruption reign
We will not be threatened to keeping that guy we are removing him come the conference this December
we will deal with it
This rand is super picky 🧐
This theories of the rand collapsing have been heard before and the rand didn't collapse
Let it collapse and the people of this country will pick it up! Ramaphosa is not a God!
Rubbish Nonsense Amasimba lawo, lets it collapse, solicosha washo no Nomvula, ningazosisabisa la
Ave nisenza msunu njalo Nina nxaaaa
You mean the puppet masters will put sanctions on the ZAR if their puppet isn't re-elected? Moody's will start downgrading RSA again? Lol. It's funny how they don't hide their intentions anymore... Revelation of the method.

ali_naka What if Ramaposa dies before his re-election, does this mean he must be life president because the Rand will crumble? smh
They are now working overtime 😂👌🏿😂😂🤡🤡🤡
ali_naka Baanyaaaaa
How low can it go though? CyrilRamaphosa was responsible of employment not jobs losses. Service delivery was an optimum goal and focus on SAns now so called right-wingers. What up with South African Human Rights comission? Oh ofcourse everyone was on holiday. Stomach politicians
Great! Old colonial rubbish out.
ali_naka Sanama bish
ali_naka Let it collapse...it will bounce back jst like wen he took over frm jz...
Let it collapse asinandaba
We don't care we will eat dust
What an emotional Rand, a Rand that is affected by party politics...
If Cyril is re-elected as an ANC president, the whole country will be in flames... The guy is useless in this country.
Who's Rand are you talking about?
😂😂😂😂😂What 'n kak statement
Really🤨😂
Bulll...it will collapse futher when he is reelected
