# Die EFF sê Amerika het weer getoon hy is bereid om sy diplomatieke en ekonomiese invloed te gebruik om met Suid-Afrika se soewereine sake in te meng. Washington het visumbeperkings ingestel op mense wat volgens hom rasgebaseerde diskriminasie en aanhitsing van geweld teen die Afrikaner-minderheid aanvuur. Die EFF sê Amerika moenie toegelaat word om […]

# ‘n Senior ekonoom van FNB, Siphamandla Mkhwanazi, sê die herverskyning van verhoogde geopolitieke spanning, hoër oliepryse en die moontlikheid van hoër huishoudelike leningskoste dui daarop dat verbruikersbegrotings onder druk gaan bly.

# Die Nasionale Tesourie sê die regering sal seker maak Eskom se ontbondelingsproses word versigtig beplan en bestuur om alle risiko’s te hanteer. Die proses om eienaarskap en beheer van die kragverskaffer se netwerkbates aan ʼn onafhanklike transmissiestelsel-operateur oor te dra, gaan voort. Die operateur sal toesig hou oor die stelsel en bemarking, en die […]
