WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

While it is a fact that a country’s economy is not judged only by the value of that country’s currency, currency exchange rates do play a very important part in determining a country’s overall stability and in particular – economic health and growth.
Exchange rates can give us an indication of what the rest of the world think about us – our political stability, economical growth etc.
While exchange rates may change and differ every minute (or second) of the day, I made up a list comparing the South African Rand against some other countries, using the previous year’s data.
This should provide an overall picture of where the South African economy is coming from – and, to some extend where it may be heading – in comparison with the rest of the world.
In the list provided, a minus means that the specific currency value grew (by the percentage) faster during the past year than the South African Rand.
Likewise, a plus would indicate that the South African Rand’s value grew faster than the particular currency.
