The Security Council just approved a long-awaited resolution on Gaza, demanding an immediate ceasefire, and the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages.

This resolution must be implemented. Failure would be unforgivable.

Words of hope from Hugh Masekela that moved the nation in the State of the Nation Address by Pres Ramaphosa on 16 February 2018.

They are still meaningful to me as I first heard them in the song before 16 February 2018.

A remembering of Bra Hugh who transitioned on 26 Jan 2018

Netanyahu has again rejected a two-state solution.

He said: “the prime minister needs to be able to say no, even to our best friends.”

I have a message: it’s time for the U.S. to say NO to Netanyahu. Tens of thousands of lives hang in the balance.

What we share online can have consequences in the real world.

I am old enough to remember well South Africa’s struggles for freedom from apartheid. I have found it deeply moving to have lived not only to see them gain their freedom but now to watch them stand up and attempt to help Palestine gain theirs. It’s been a poignant moment 🇿🇦 🇵🇸

[SA Reserve Bank @SAReserveBank]

The SARB has a constitutional mandate to maintain inflation within a credible 3–6% target range. The Monetary Policy Committee meets bimonthly to decide on the repurchase rate, considering inflation, rate projections, key economic data and the risk outlook. The 2024 MPC meeting dates are:

The Amalek quote (a biblical injection to destruction) used by Benjamin Netanyahu is here. So are the others now being argued by Advocate Tembeka Ngcukaitobi at the ICJ which amount to systematic dehumanisation of the Palestinian people.
