COMMENTS
……… And just around the corner the Chinese have a huge coking plant on a farm that doesn’t belong to them……..
A lot of sales in execution of transport and earth moving equipment. What is going on. Someone needs to look behind this.
Another fully indigenised organisation plundered into bankruptcy.
Does the minister with dreadlocks have a solution?
Maybe his uncle should task him to sort out the NRZ first and then HCC………within twelve months.
I bet you the result would be further failure.
