Women in South Africa face a retirement crisis.
They live longer than men — but retire with far less money. Women save harder… but still retire poorer.

Here’s what the latest research says

📢Victory in KZN

@ProtestZa welcomes the Scottburgh Magistrate’s Court ruling dismissing Afrimat’s application for a final interdict and spoliation order. This marks a critical step in protecting the right to protest and challenging SLAPP suits that silence communities.

One of the places young women are particularly vulnerable to sexual violence is at school - often at the hands of the educators who are meant to protect them #JusticeForCwecwe

"How can development banks tackle the so-called just energy transition, if nobody is asking communities what they want and how a "just" transition could look like for them?"

🔹New financial systems
Bold action now!

This week, at #FinanceInCommon2025, public development banks are talking about "solutions". But their current approach is failing people & exacerbating the problems they claim to solve.

And if we don't change this mindset, we can't expect any change at all, says Jessica Holles from @InstitutoMaira👇

Johannesburg Water just awarded a R263-million contract to two obscure companies – owned and run by directors in their 20s – to supply the city with water tankers for the next three years.
Our investigation uncovers the red flags that the city overlooked:

All books must be read, including bad books. If we do not, we would not know how a bad book looks like.

Having said this, Blair is arguably amongst the worst, if not most degenerate of western leaders. His war campaign in the invasion of Iraq, alongside Bush, amounts to serious crimes against humanity that should have seen him end up in jail!

Any South African taking a leadership lesson from him ought to know that leadership is first & foremost driven by an honest/truthful love for humanity! FACT: Blair’s legacy, his leadership, is one of crimes against humanity.

Morally, we ought to ask, is prescribing, celebrating & promoting a book on leadership from a man like this not complicity to his general evil, now being whitewashed by liberals like yourself (@helenzille).

President Mbeki has also asserted that Blair proposed a similar criminal solution to Zimbabwe: war! (https://t.co/eKZLE4dt34)

That is who he is: a war monger who is now seeking legitimacy with such books on leadership!

So, essentially, we must say, the War Criminal and Imperialist Megalomaniac has written a book on leadership: it must be read, but with a critical focus on how such a megalomaniac still thinks the world should take lessons on leadership from himself. Isn’t Blair continuing his deep seated condescending megalomania through teachings on governance?

South Africa granted citizenship to Christoph Huber, a Swiss national accused of war crimes in the DRC. Open Secrets demands answers from Minister Schreiber: When, how, and why did this happen?
