Congratulations to @StandardBankZA on the official launch of its Cross-border Interbank Payment System (#CIPS), making it the 1st African bank to join CIPS as a direct participant! This milestone will enhance China-Africa cross-border payment efficiency, reduce transaction costs, and deepen economic cooperation.
With South Africa's historic assumption of the G20 presidency, this year's SA Tomorrow Investor Conference arrives at a crucial moment, as the nation champions investment opportunities across Africa, while advancing principles of solidarity, equality, and sustainable development.
The passing of Mr Ashwin Trikamjee, President of the South African Hindu Maha Sabha and Chairperson of the National Religious Leaders Forum, deeply saddens me.
I offer my condolences to the family, friends and associates of this outstanding icon of service to our nation who has passed on at the age of 80.
He was an attorney who served as president of the then Natal Law Society, president of the Association of Law Societies of SA, chairperson of the African Regional Forum of the International Bar Association and member of the Human Rights Committee of the IBA.
As a Black Consciousness activist, he also led the Durban Central component of the Natal Indian Congress, and he was a vice-president of the South African Football Association.
Ashwin’s deep spiritual devotion extended beyond his Hindu affiliation as he advocated tolerance and collaboration among the diverse religious communities in our country.
We will miss his gentle, serene presence, wise counsel and humble yet industrious service to many sectors of our nation.
May his soul rest in peace.

This man is a bladdy scientist and yet, he has been unemployed for 6 years.
Utterly heartbreaking.
I have 72,000 followers on this app. Any chance you can share (or just bump Amanda's post) to help this get seen by the right people?
Let's turn this into a good news story!
Spelt Spaghetti with Spicy Sesame Mushrooms is #RecipeOfTheDay – so very good hot or cold. Obviously, it’s not remotely Italian and, indeed, if you can’t get spelt spaghetti, I suggest you use soba noodles instead. Also, it’s #vegan, by the way https://t.co/FuS7B4n3Fe

15 Important Laws of Physics
1. Archimedes Principle
The principle was discovered in 3rd century B.C. by the Greek mathematician. Archimedes. It states that when a body is partially or totally immersed in a fluid, it experiences an upward thrust equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by it that i.e. its apparent loss of weight is equal to the weight of liquid displaced.
2. Avagadro’s Law
In 1811 it was discovered by an Italian Scientist Anedeos Avagadro. This law states that equal volume of all gases under the same conditions of temperature and pressure contain equal number of molecules.
3. Ohm's Law
It states that the current passing through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the potential difference across the two points provided the physical state and temperature etc. of the conductor does not change.
4. Newton’s Laws (1642-1727)
Law of Gravitation
Newton’s First law of Motion
Newton’s Second Law of Motion
Newton’s Third Law of Motion
Newton’s Law of cooling
5. Coulomb’s Law (1738-1806)
The force between the two electric charges reduces to a quarter of its former value when the distance between them is doubled. The SI unit of electric charge, coulomb, is named after Charles Augustin de Coulomb who established the law.
6. Stefan’s Law (1835-1883)
The total energy radiated from a black body is equal to the fourth power of its absolute temperature.
7. Pascal’s Law (1623-1662)
- When pressure is applied to a fluid, the pressure change is transmitted to every part of the fluid without loss. Hydraulic machines like the hydraulic press work on this principle.
- Atmospheric pressure decreases with increase in height. The SI unit of pressure is pascal which is named after Pascal who established this law.
8. Hooke’s Law (1635-1703)
This law states that the extension of a spring is proportional to the tension stretching it. Doubling of the tension results in the doubling of the amount of stretch.
9. Bernoulli's Principle
It states that as the speed of a moving fluid, liquid or gas, increases, the pressure within the fluid decreases. The aerodynamic lift on the wing of an aeroplane is also explained in part by this principle.
10. Boyles's Law
It states that temperature remaining constant, volume of a given mass of a gas varies inversely with the pressure of the gas.
11. Charles's Law
It states that pressure remaining constant, the volume of a given mass of gas increases or decreases by 1/273 part of its volume at 0 degree Celsius for each degree Celsius rise or fall of its temperature.
12. Kepler's Law
Each planet revolves round the Sun in an elliptical orbit with the Sun at one focus. The straight line joining the Sun and the planet sweeps out equal areas in equal intervals. The squares of the orbital periods of planets are proportional to the cubes of their mean distance from the Sun.
13. Law of conservation of energy
It states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but it can be transformed from one form to another. Since energy cannot be created or destroyed, the amount of energy present in the universe is always remain constant.
14. Tyndall effect
The scattering of light by very small particles suspended in a gas or liquid.
15. Graham’s Law
It states that the rates of diffusion of gases are inversely proportional to the square roots of their densities under similar conditions of temperature and pressure.
