Joburg sits on the richest square mile in Africa. Yet the city owes creditors R25.2bn and holds just R3.9bn in cash, and the sheriff just seized its assets over a R3.4m debt. A city in decline, or a rough patch it can fix?

WHAT'S ACTUALLY ON A CELL TOWER?
That tower you pass every day is doing a lot more than just "giving you signal."
Here's what's happening:
• Sector antennas divide coverage into multiple directions to serve more users.
• Microwave dishes connect sites where fiber isn't available.
• Remote Radio Heads (RRHs) handle RF processing close to the antennas, reducing signal loss.
• Fiber optic cables carry high-speed data between the radios and the baseband equipment.
• Baseband Units (BBUs) process voice and data before it's sent over the air.
• Power systems, batteries, and grounding keep the site running safely even during outages.
• Lightning protection and obstruction lights protect both the equipment and aircraft.
Every phone call, video stream, and message travels through a chain of equipment like this before it reaches the internet.
There's a lot more engineering behind those "signal bars" than most people realize.
Someone sent me this video of the Livingstone - Sesheke road. The video was taken yesterday. This is the Highway that connects our country to Namibia.
I long said, we sold our Mineral Wealth after 91 & said if Zambian Mines will be owned by West, our country would develop.
🎉👏🏾I am excited for this new chapter.
@CityLink_buses will officially start with its first routes on 10th July 2026.
🇳🇦 Namibia is on the rise, once again.
When people unite to call for the rule of law, some immediately reach for labels like "xenophobia" or "vigilantism," shifting the debate from policy to identity (one of the oldest political tactics to fracture a united citizenry by redefining their shared civic demands as moral failure. WMC is slowly getting defeated. South Africans, across race, culture and province, marched peacefully in UNITY ✊🏾

What goes into a monetary policy decision?
Before the Governor steps up to the podium to announce the decision, a rigorous process takes place behind the scenes.
Over two days, economists and members of the Monetary Policy Committee analyse global and domestic economic developments, inflation trends, review financial market conditions, evaluate risks to the economy and discuss the outlook for Namibia.
This video offers a glimpse into the process that helps shape one of the Bank’s most important decisions to safeguard price stability while supporting sustainable economic growth.
