A near unanimous vote #InternationalCourtofJustice (The ICJ) rules in favour of an order asked for by South Africa against #Israel. Remarkably Uganda Judge Julia Sebutinde voted for #Israel on every provision, even where in some provisions the #Israel judge voted for South Africa. 🤷🏽‍♂️ | #ICJGenocideConvention #GazaGenocide #GazaHolocaust #IsraelPalestineConflict

[Prof Thuli Madonsela #KindnessBuilds @ThuliMadonsela3]

In simple language, the ICJ has said there is a prima facie violation of the Genocide Convention specifically articles II (a) - (d) and that until a final determination is made regarding Gaza, Israel must stop:
a) Killing Palestinian civilians;
b) Causing serious bodily harm to Palestinians
c)Deliberately inflicting on Palestinians conditions of life calculated to bring about the physical destruction of the Palestinian community in whole or in part (include destroying homes and infrastructure)
d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within Palestinians

And
1) Stop its army and others from committing the above prima facie genocidal acts
2) stop encouraging these prima David genocidal acts
3) Enable free flow of humanitarian aid

COP28 is now on the verge of complete failure. The world desperately needs to phase out fossil fuels as quickly as possible, but this obsequious draft reads as if OPEC dictated it word for word. It is even worse than many had feared. It is “Of the Petrostates, By the Petrostates and For the Petrostates.” It is deeply offensive to all who have taken this process seriously. There are 24 hours left to show whose side the world is on: the side that wants to protect humanity’s future by kickstarting the orderly phase out of fossil fuels or the side of the petrostates and the leaders of the oil and gas companies that are fueling the historic climate catastrophe. In order to prevent COP28 from being the most embarrassing and dismal failure in 28 years of international climate negotiations, the final text must include clear language on phasing out fossil fuels. Anything else is a massive step backwards from where the world needs to be to truly address the climate crisis and make sure the 1.5°C goal doesn’t die in Dubai.

GDP growth for 2023 is revised slightly upward to 0.8% from the September figure of 0.7%.

Our GDP growth forecast for 2024 and 2025 is increased from the previous meeting, to 1.2% and 1.3%, respectively, in large part due to an expected decrease in load-shedding. #SARBMPCNOV23

Since early 2020, the Committee has recommended additional means of lowering inflation that are within the reach of the public sector, including achieving a prudent public debt level, increasing the supply of energy, moderating administered price inflation and keeping real wage growth in line with productivity gains. Such steps would strengthen monetary policy effectiveness and its transmission to the broader economy. #SARBMPCSEP23

SA unemployment rate improved to 32.6% in Q2 2023, down from 32.9% in Q1 2023. This was helped by a 143 000 increase in formal sector employment, mostly within the construction sector. This most likely reflects the increased investment in renewable energy.
