Whatever else they say and do. the gods of Krynn exist in balance (maintained by Gilean). Takhisis is constantly trying to upset this balance and achieve dominance, but the others understand better that the good side are the other side of their coin. All things in balance.

When the fiery mountain was hurled at Istar, the gods were all in agreement because for the first time a *Human* was demanding that the gods themselves give him the power to upset the balance. That act of hubris offended them *all*.

So they met and agreed on a course of action.

And it's not the first time that all the gods of all three pantheons would meet and make agreements.Have fun playing the amazing Ghosts 'n Goblins game for M.A.M.E. - Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator.

It dropped to R0.50 last year. What went wrong?] When PPC started to use the money generated in South Africa to expand into other countries in Africa, it did so quite rapidly and it did not all work out the way it was planned – like it often goes. We had one particular project in the DRC where commitments were made, that any shortfall in cash generation of that business would be compensated by South Africa.
As a result, South Africa ended up paying millions and millions of dollars into the DRC. That was one of the first things I realised I joined in October 2019, that we had to separate the balance sheet of South Africa from the balance sheet of the international operations. Effectively, that is what we have agreed to do with the lenders. We struck an agreement with them [in] March this year and we’re implementing that. As a consequence, we will no longer have any economic benefits out of that business in the DRC. But more importantly, there will no longer be cash outflows independencies. I think that fixed big issue that we had in the balance sheet.
We have put in over $70m, what we call deficiency funding – money that was not generated in the DRC that was supplemented from South Africa. To get out of the arrangement, we paid an additional $16.5m in early April. And with that, we have drawn a big line underneath that.
Positive EBITDA has always been generated in South Africa. We’ve gone through a very tough spot, where competition increased and demand came down at the same time. But it’s hard to stabilise. You refer to the old days where business was a lot easier. I personally believe that the current environment drives us towards innovation and making sure that we are cost competitive.
That is something that PPC, for the last three years, has been busy with. Making sure that we right size our footprint to demand that we have. If demand were to increase, we still have spare capacity that we can bring into the market. We need to make sure that we run properly what we currently have and what we need for this market.
We see things as we anticipated, retail demand was very strong coming out of Covid. We see that coming back to normal. But if I give you an indication, comparing to last year is difficult because of the lockdown. Obviously, we had a very strong first quarter (still not finished) but we’re building up to quite a strong first quarter. However, the volumes of cement are the same, more or less as in 2019. So it is not yet that the cement market has grown by 10% or 20%.
I still think they’re cheap. To put this into the manufacturing context, I think there are so many businesses that are still being chucked away and all you have to do is compare their asset values. The amount to which it costs you to buy these businesses, relative to where they are and what they represent in the economy. I’m not a great value investor, but these are areas that I don’t think you can ignore. I think if you hold PPC now, you’re still going to be on an upward journey – especially looking at the results, which are starting to point in the right direction.
With the IPL 6 just days away, much is being written on whether the tournament has lost its sheen. Discussions such as this miss the point. What smart marketers should be asking is if they are using one of the best marketing and branding platforms that India has ever seen in an intelligent and optimal manner.
It is surprising how unimaginatively and ineffectively some companies have leveraged their IPL associations and marketing assets. It appears that sponsors have developed their partnerships without much strategic thought beyond basic brand visibility, and still consistently fail to demonstrate deep understanding of how best to sweat this not inexpensive marketing platform.
If you are participating in the IPL or are considering participating, here are some tips for you.
If advertising on the official broadcaster’s feed is all that comes to mind, you’re being shortsighted. Stop complaining about whether rates should come down. There are a range of other more powerful “emotional assets” that can provide you with a better return on your marketing spend if used with some imagination. You should aggressively work with different rights holders, beyond the broadcaster, to leverage different assets such as the players, teams and owners.
As a 21st century sponsor, you should seek to carefully identify and create a package of rights that is most relevant to your business, your target demographic, and how they engage in the sport using technology. Make sure you understand the additional resource and activation investment required to fully capture that value.
Can you articulate the business plan behind your sponsorship? Do you have a scientific way of measuring whether your goals are being met? If you don’t, then it’s very likely that you’ll fail to capitalise on the sponsorship.
You can’t improve what you don’t measure. Many IPL sponsors have stated reach as their primary goal, but reach alone will not create differentiation, neither does it create loyalty towards your brand or increase propensity to purchase. An IPL sponsorship must be more than a trophy asset to see your logo on the field, uniform or on television. Ultimately, you have to effect and track a tangible impact on the bottom line.
What brand values do you want to create / embellish through the IPL?
Have you asked yourself what kind of brand values you are seeking to promote when you participate in the IPL? When you are one of the numerous mobile handset or network companies competing for consumer mindshare, are you able to create enough of a connection with your audience for your brand values to stand out in the clutter? Ask yourself which of the assets or rights gets you closest to the brand values you are aspiring to.
In Rolex’s association with Wimbledon, the link is obvious. As an IPL sponsor, do research among your target audience to verify if the brand values link between your brand and the sporting asset you have rights to is obvious. If not, you probably have the wrong message or have chosen the wrong asset. Just picking a new IPL star, and putting your marketing spend behind him isn’t enough if you can’t identify how this creates or adds to your brand value.
Are you creating enough emotional attachment with your brand?
