Justice Minister has increased the Small Claims Court Amount and limit to R30 000.00 from 1 August 2026.

This means that parties can now take on matters that are R30k or less to the Small Claims Court.

This is the Financial Mail’s response to some of the comments on their lack of diversity. @FinancialMail

[FinancialMail @FinancialMail]

A note on FM/Currency and inclusion:

The FM and Currency teams wanted to address the discussion on social media about the picture we posted as part of announcing our merger.

We got this wrong. The image did not simply create the wrong impression, it reflected a newsroom that is not yet diverse enough. That falls short of what South Africa should expect from an influential business publication and of the standard we have set for ourselves.

As we build the combined Financial Mail and Currency newsroom, increasing the representation and advancement of Black journalists and editors will be a priority across recruitment, commissioning, mentorship and leadership.

This has prompted a necessary conversation about who tells South Africa’s business story, whose perspectives shape coverage and who sits in the rooms where editorial decisions are made. We have heard the criticism, and we will act on it.

With 28 Days to go, it seems like the South African National Hockey Team are having a hard time heading to the 2026 FIH World Cup.

They're trying to raise R2M between roughly 60 people.
That's R33 333 a head.

Considered in perspective that we have degenerates in government spending R436,619 a head for showboating at FIFA, some very serious moral questions arise.

You can't fund a national hockey player at R33K a head, but you can take some random podcaster on a trip at R440K a head.

Cool story, bro.

There's a lady in my street who when I greet her is either very nice and chatty, asking after the kids and calling me by name; or is polite and a little bit confused lol. It's always bothered me. Today I saw the 2 of them at their gate. They are twins 🤣🤣🤣.

This is the Nigerian passport that enabled Chidimma Adetshina to travel internationally. It has now came back to haunt her as Home Affairs submitted as proof to demonstrate that she has a country to which she can return. Her kid has a similar passport

Having a little community at work is nice , don’t let them lie to you guys . That 8 hours spent with your people in the midst of the chaos might actually be the best thing that has ever happened to you .

For a publication covering such a diverse economy, the team itself seems surprisingly undiversified.
