AfriqueDuZuid: The IMF's forecast is in line with the SA Reserve Bank (SARB) which also revised upwards the 2021 GDP forecast to 5.3 percent from a previous forecast of 4.2 percent.
The IMF said the economic and fiscal policy assumptions underlying the projections in South Africa drew on the 2021 Budget.
Mkenya2019: It expected to recover to pre-covid - 2019. Kenya grew last year by 0.6 percent and will grow this year by 6 percent. You are hoping to undo -5 percent of last year. You will have lost 2yrs. Kenya hasnt lost anything except potential higher growth last year.
In 5yrs time - I am sure Kenya GDP will be 200B dollars - while South Africa will be stuck btw 300-400 - or would have even come down to 250B.
Mkenya2019: We started talking 5yrs - can we pull the data and see who has made progress and who is stuck. If I am not wrong the other thread started in 2016 - Kenya GDP was 5 trillions kshs - now it almost 11 trillion shillings. Kenya has in that time also doubled it paved road network (arteries). We have world fastest electrification. We have Africa best internet connections. Africa best HCI.
South Africa is at best where it was - and at worst it has sunk to 300B dollars...just 3 times! bigger than Kenya
firstly Kenya does not have the best HCI in Africa nor the best Internet connection

cool story bro we all know SA had a sh1t couple of years under Zuma but times have changed my friend.... In 2021 SAs economy is predicted to grow at the same(or very near) rate as Kenya
Mkenya2019: A slum is a slum. Even one built with concrete near a tarmac. There many criteria that makes a slum. This our slums is better than your slum is really waste of time. You are going to see more and more slums - as your economy stagnates - creating many more poor people.
23% vs 47%....not mention most of SA is already urbanised and Kenya is only at like 24% or something.....that means more and more slums are going to pop up in kenya as you urbanised.
Again... Go look at what is classified as a slum.... Its about informal housing not the infrastructure around it.
Mkenya2019: When Accra or Abuja get to Mombasa level - we will let you know. It almost will never happen. Nairobi is overtaking Joburg - not little towns of west africa - that looks so unplanned - it almost an insult to call them cities.
let me remind you that Joburg has a road network nearly the size of the entire Kenya, a gdp nearly the size of the entire Kenya, a rail network that's is longer than your entire country, more sports stadiums than your entire country, more mall than your entire country, a world class brt system, gautrain, brand new metro rail trains..... Must I go on?
Shma2020: yes. All slum dwellers both in Accra South Africa or Kenya are equally the same. If she tackled something about slums, It doesn't necessarily mean Nairobi slums are extremely worse than the area she came from. She had something at least to talk about so as not to sound biased in the eye of gheniuns.
Your last statement is nonsensical as usual, who told you whites owns best parts in Nairobi? Do you think Nairobi is SA? Come on Mr, kenyans own Kenya. Kenyans own huge potions on land in rich neighbourhoods - less than 2% of foreigners owns huge portions of land in Kenya.. Delamare used to own huge chunk of land in naivasha but it was confiscated. This is not SA or Ghana where Chinese own your resources
Except slums weren't created equal.... Ours have infrastructure with planned streets,malls,police stations,schools,sports stadiums and electricity as you yourself have posted here....
Also please show me where in SA foreigners own huge portions of land?
Justnotyou: Factually. The average Kenyan is only twice as poor as the average South African. Black south africans believe it or not wouldn't fair any better. (Pic 1) wealth per capita (pic 2) gdp per capita.
Poverty headcount between the two countries actually makes it clear Kenya has 36% while south africa 55.5% so it's actually the other way around one is about twice as likely to live in poverty while being in South Africa than in Kenya. <iframe src="https://data.worldbank.org/share/widget?indicators=SI.POV.NAHC&locations=KE-ZA" width='450' height='300' frameBorder='0' scrolling="no" ></iframe>
Compare apples with apples, the national poverty lines differs between Kenya and South Africa in SA its R1,335 per person per month in Kenya its only 3252 shillings per month..........that's considerably less!!!! hence the skewed figure.
vaxx: what a stupid injunction. ""If the dog reached the age of consent and was willing to marry the lady"" how do you measure this and arrive at this madness .
1 dog year equals 7 human years..........so at 3 years the Dog has reached the age of consent since its 21 years in human years
kikuyu33: SIGHHHH....young MOFO you know NOTHING about ANYTHING! Which is why you're so full of meaningless advice for those who know better. Iow you don't EVEN know what you don't know. I've been banned twice and I DOUBT it's the spambot so I WON'T say the J word. Here are the Randlords; the guys who pushed the Crown into Southern Africa for minerals displacing millions: guess their ethnicity? Hint: they AIN'T Tswana/Swazi/Xhosa or Pedi. Neither are they Chinese.

obaaderemi: The bolded is the key. However, read up on Protestantism and how it has shaped the German work ethics. A German believes when he works hard and produces quality product, then he is doing God's work. That's the simple reason why for many years the whole world saw the German manufacturing standard as the gold standard.
Jordan Peterson makes a similar argument especially people who debate that the world would/would have been a better place without religion...specifically the western world
Lurker4Long: I've only seen the 3 Oryx in Moz footage. There are rumours 2 Rooivalke are there, but nothing confirmed. On the Moz military side, Paramount has loaned them a Mwari, and delivered more Hinds, armed MI-8 and some ex-UK Army Gazelles.

mtisTheQubit: Can we all just agree ths is weird..Its is stupid an dirty an some nigga will come here shouting enlightenment..Why not...let allow them do whatever they want even if they want to sleep with their mothers...enlightenment my a.ss
Am really pissed off today coz just find out that my superhero Superman has come out as gay..the other day was Robin..who next..Batman??
Lurker4Long: And not all of the lessons learned have been applied. For example, one of the recommendations was never deploy when you can't easily extract or reinforce your forces. Dont see that happening in either DRC or Moz.
Well in the DRC at least our Rooivalk are being deployed under our own costs since MONUSCO ain't footing the bill anymore.....I'm not sure what assets we have deployed in Moz though
Lurker4Long: Imagine that! A military that learns from its mistakes and thereafter applies the lessons learned.
Man to think 200 of our boys had to take on 4000 Seleka with no air cover........all thanks to our fantastic leadership but hey, at least they sent a couple of Gripen AFTER the fighting was done
