No chance of a decrease. Consensus is unchanged. With USDZAR at 900 we are again looking at inflation

No interest rate cut is expected, we may expect rate cuts in the first quarter of 2009.

If there is another big enterprise to be sold to foreigners in the near future we may just see that cut in interest rates. Is the SARB still in control of the Rand?

the SARB is not trying to be in control of the rand. The only thing they care about is CPIx.
