To all our supporters, members, friends, and the South African public, please take all necessary steps to remain safe and healthy in these very difficult times. The FMF has been hard at work researching the impact of the lockdown, especially the impact of regulations on poorer South Africans.

EWC not the answer for post-COVID-19 South Africa – CHRIS HATTINGH
On 23 July 2020, the Governor of the Reserve Bank (SARB), Lesetja Kganyago, said that the SARB currently expects GDP in 2020 to contract by 7.3%. I consider this to be an optimistic figure, as contraction between 12% - 15% is likely more accurate, especially with the ever-present threat of load shedding. For the next few years, GDP is expected to grow by 3.7% in 2021, and by 2.8% in 2022. In the midst of such depressing news, we have to give some time to thinking about the future – and the kind of thinking the country needs to adopt if we are to turn things around. South Africa will have a fighting chance post-COVID-19, only if property rights are recognised and strengthened.
