Hi South Africans 🇿🇦

Letsile Tebogo 🇧🇼 wins the men's 200m at the Lausanne Diamond League in 19.87s (-0.3).
Sinesipho Dambile 🇿🇦 was 2nd in 19.98s, while Makanakaishe Charamba 🇿🇼 came from behind for 3rd in 20.14s.
A Southern Africa 1-2-3.
A Big Mac costs R56.90 in South Africa and $6.22 in the United States.
This translates to ZAR9.14/USD under purchasing power parity. But the market says R16.01 on a Friday afternoon. The difference might be some combination of emerging market discount, policy uncertainty, and country-specific risk.
I've got a 15-handle on the rand (not a forecast, insert smiley).
