[SA Reserve Bank @SAReserveBank]

Governor @KganyagoLesetja delivered a special lecture at the University of Stellenbosch titled ‘Lessons learnt: how the South African Reserve Bank moved inflation to 4.5%, and what it cost’. Kganyago said: "We have an opportunity to achieve permanently lower inflation and therefore permanently lower interest rates. Executed effectively, a lower target could be achieved at little cost – just as we moved to 4.5% at little cost."

This is the real state of SA's field hospitals.

With over 4 months to prepare, Eastern Cape and Gauteng have only one functioning field hospital between them.

At this rate Ramaphosa’s praise will amount to nothing more than a double-tap of the snare drum, followed by a lazy bash of a cracked cymbol, forgotten by the next trick https://t.co/VNYrTCxLJC
