This is a SEISMIC shift. 🤯Modern Germany’s foreign policy vis-a-vis Isreal has been less political position & more considered a sacred moral obligation. That abandoned?

Full steam ahead, SA. You stand on the right side of history. Stand proudly. Stand firmly. Do not budge. ✊🏾🇿🇦

You are not as special as you think.
You’re unique, yes. But so is everyone else. The universe doesn’t revolve around your dreams, your heartbreak, or your potential.

Since 16 November last year we’ve been asking the RAF to send us a list of its attorneys panel and how much each law firm gets paid. They never did despite repeated follow ups. Yesterday we forced them to produce it during the seating. This is what we found: 🧵

OPINION | Stand with South Africa against Trump’s wrath: To allow South Africa to be isolated and punished would be to surrender to the imperial logic that seeks to divide and conquer all who resist.

Here are somethings worth asking your financial advisor at your next visit. This is not financial advise🙏🏾☺️

1. REITS

Think of a REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) like joining a club where you and others get together to buy pieces of property. Only, in this case, you’re not actually buying the buildings – you’re buying shares in a company that owns and manages them. The company, in turn, owns properties like shopping malls, office buildings, or apartments, all aimed at making money.

Now, why would you want in? Simple: this setup lets you invest in real estate without the headaches of buying a property, finding tenants, or handling maintenance. REITs pay out most of their profits as dividends, so when the company earns money from rent, you get a slice.

Take @growthpoint Properties, for example. Growthpoint is one of South Africa’s biggest REITs, owning properties across the country. Imagine them as the landlord of hundreds of properties, and by investing, you become a part-owner who shares in their earnings.

Where can you buy a piece of this pie? In South Africa, you can get REITs on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (@JSE_SENS ). You could use an online platform like @EasyEquities – where even small amounts go a long way – or go the traditional route with a stockbroker or financial advisor to help you choose. It’s about making property work for you without buying the whole building

PRESIDENT RAMAPHOSA SADDENED BY PASSING OF FORMER MINISTER TITO MBOWENI

President @CyrilRamaphosa is deeply saddened by the passing of former Governor of the South African Reserve Bank and Labour and Finance Minister Dr Tito Mboweni at the age of 65.

President Ramaphosa offers his condolences to the family and friends of Dr Mboweni who has passed away following a short illness.

Dr Mboweni was the democratic South Africa’s first Minister of Labour from 1994 to 1999 in the Cabinet of Founding President Nelson Mandela.

He served as Governor of the South African Reserve Bank for a decade from 1999.

From 2018 to 2021, Dr Mboweni served as Minister of Finance in the administration led by President Ramaphosa.

President Ramaphosa said: “Given his sense of vitality and energetic and affable engagement with fellow South Africans, Dr Mboweni’s passing at 65 comes as a shock.

“We have lost a leader and compatriot who has served our nation as an activist, economic policy innovator and champion of labour rights.

“As Governor and Finance Minister, he had a sharp focus on fiscal discipline and economic transformation.

“Tito Mboweni distinguished himself in different strategic roles in the private sector and was a flag bearer in global forums for our economy and developing economies more broadly.

“He conducted himself with expert rigour while maintaining the personable touch that made him a social media star and ambassador for Modjadjiskloof’s
culinary traditions.

“His passing is a great loss. May his soul rest in peace.”

#RIPTitoMboweni 🕊️
