Cat got your tongue Moagi?
Do you not realise all you do is quote irrelevant African news or talk about me? You never discuss anything sensibly.
I'm sorry you have thrown Kenmare money away, and bought very badly into TLOU.
I lost a fortune buying into Avanti comms at £7 a share expecting a successful Ariane launch to raise it to £9.
Ariane was 110% successful, the satellite used so little fuel to reach its orbit that its life was extended by 7 years!
AVN never saw £7 again, it halved, I even ploughed good money after bad at my idea of an all time low of £2.20 .
They went into administration a few months ago and my brokers say the debts are so high I'll get nothing!
At least your losses should be alive and kicking in a thriving company under a very different leader in TG.
When the price hit 17p he did not cash out £millions as David Williams ,AVN CEO, did! That was the catalyst for the drop to £3.50 . AVN were targetting Africa and surprise, surprise , could not find buyers of their bandwidth. Ariane and the satellite cost a fortune, was followed by more launches , and more debt. Technologically they were perfect , they could beam broadband to anywhere in Africa or the Middle East and parts of Europe , including the UK! I always said the UK had enough bleak areas that they should have built a business here! I like to think TG would , but cretinous Williams persevered in Africa. Debts of £850m eventually killed them.
Now do you see why I revere TG? He has kept us out of debt and technologically Africa has bitten him like Australia did not in his first 2 successes with CBM. How can Selemo be dewatered in a couple of months, yet Lesedi, a few miles from Selemo, is taking years?
How did the Govt insist on an impossibilty i.e. tenderers had to have a history of selling CBM powered electricity to BPC? And finally , why did Covid strike during those two delays?
TG's experience in Botswana is the total opposite to AVN with 3 or 4 satellites orbiting earth successfully.
Those satellites have a limited shelf life, Tlou's shelf life is at least 40 years, once dewatering comes to an end, we'll see progress. Then with some income to work with , TLOU can become the £billion industry I have expected to grow for several years.
Moagi, I hope you have some TLOU golden nuggets left, one day you'll worship Tony as well. And you'll be able to buy back into Kenmare and give any survivors here a rest from your incessant bleating! Silence of the lamb.
