# Soil of Africa vra die regering om praktiese maatreëls in te stel om kwesbare huishoudings te beskerm teen stygende lewenskoste. Dit volg nadat verbruikersinflasie verlede maand op ‘n jaargrondslag tot vyf-persent gestyg het teenoor 4,5-persent in Mei, die hoogste vlak in twee jaar. Woordvoerder Luzuko Sofute sê die skerp styging in vervoerkoste, aangevuur deur […]
# Die DA sê die bedanking van die Openbare Beleggingskorporasie se raadsvoorsitter, David Masondo, is nie genoeg om vertroue in Afrika se grootste batebestuurder te herstel nie. Dit volg op die voorkomende skorsing van uitvoerende hoof Patrick Dlamini en die bedanking van ses nie-uitvoerende direkteure. DA-woordvoerder Andrew Bateman sê nuwe direkteure sal ʼn moeilike roete […]
# Canadian prime minister Mark Carney says they will continue to negotiate a new trade deal with the US, but is willing to respond should the new threatened tariffs come into effect.

# The Soil of Africa Civic Movement is calling on government to implement practical measures that cushion vulnerable households from the impact of rising living costs.

# The DA says the resignation of Public Investment Corporation board chairperson David Masondo is not enough to restore confidence in Africa’s largest asset manager.

# Die Gautengse metro Ekurhuleni sê sy algehele uitstaande krediteure-balans was einde Mei sowat agt-miljard-rand. Ongeveer 50-persent het verband gehou met fakture wat nog nie hul betaaldatum bereik het nie. Die metro het egter slegs twee-miljard-rand in sy bankrekening.

# Die Forum for South Africa verwelkom die besluit van die Suid-Afrikaanse Reserwebank se Monetêre Beleidskomitee om rentekoerse onveranderd te laat. Die terugkoopkoers bly op 7,5-persent en die prima uitleenkoers op 10,50-persent. FOSA-leier Tebogo Mashilompane sê egter die besluit bied min onmiddellike verligting aan miljoene Suid-Afrikaners wat steeds sukkel met stygende lewenskoste, hoë werkloosheidsvlakke en […]
# Standard Bank sê die Reserwebank se Monetêre Beleidskomitee se besluit om rentekoerse onveranderd te laat, bied welkome verligting vir die landbousektor. Dis geneem ondanks die inflasiekoers wat verlede maand tot vyf-persent gestyg het. Brendan Jacobs van Standard Bank waarsku dat die landbou-sektor steeds aansienlike eksterne risiko’s ondervind, veral weens die voortslepende geopolitieke spanning in […]
