International Day of Families - Financial Empowerment For Low-Income Families.

This year, this day fell on the 15th of May and highlights the importance of families as basic units of society. The United Nations General Assembly proclaimed that 15 May of every year shall be observed as the International Day of Families

Statistics SA shows 43% of South African households are women-led, often relying on a single income. These women are financially vulnerable, and many rely on social grants.

EasyPay Everywhere helps families avoid unregulated lenders. Financial empowerment is key for low-income families, especially safe access to credit.

Topic:  Africa Month Reflection - The importance of learning local languages

 

South Africa is a country that holds vast landscapes of immense natural beauty. It encompasses an area of 1.2-million square kilometers and is home to people with many different cultures and languages. South Africa had 11 official languages, with South African Sign Language recently added as

 

number 12. These languages are Ndebele, Pedi, Sotho, Swati, Tsonga, Twana, Venda, Xhosa, Zulu, Afrikaans, English and SASL (South African Sign Language). This shows a nation willing to embrace its diversity with equity, including its differently abled citizens. Language is important to South Africans!

A land with rich resources, South Africa is a popular destination for international businesses looking for economic investments, and expatriates looking for professional opportunities. One aspect that can greatly help with the experience of life in South Africa, is to learn a local language.

 

Learning a local South African language such as Zulu, Xhosa, Sotho, or Afrikaans makes it easy to establish rapport with residents, colleagues, and clients. Making an effort to learn these languages shows that you respect the culture of the people you live alongside and it encourages unity and oneness.

 

Understanding the local language enables you to immerse yourself in the culture, connect with locals, and gain a deeper understanding of local customs and traditions. You will also be able to appreciate the humour in local jokes, understand the poetry in local songs, and enjoy the beauty of the local language.

The first-ever nuclear medicine research facility in South Africa or the continent will be unveiled by the Minister of Higher Education, Science and Innovation, Dr Blade Nzimande.

Housing a cyclotron that will produce isotopes used in radiation therapy, NuMeRI will provide consolidated expertise in nuclear technologies in medicine and biosciences, creating significant research, development and innovation capacity in South Africa. This will assist in the treatment of cancer and other diseases.

The opening of the new, central building at Steve Biko Academic Hospital is a milestone under the Department of Science and Innovation’s South African Research Infrastructure Roadmap.

The facility – a "one-stop-shop" offering medical nuclear imaging and theragnostics (a treatment strategy that combines therapeutics with diagnostics) – is dedicated to drug development and clinical research to benefit not only South Africans, but African and global populations.

The Minister will be accompanied by Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi and Prof. Themba Mosia, the Interim Vice-Chancellor and Principal of the University of Pretoria, one of the Department's project partners.

Ahead of looming elections: Afrika Tikkun demands urgent action to the youth unemployment crisis

Youth unemployment is not merely a statistic; it is a national emergency demanding immediate and sustained attention, SA’s young people deserve tangible solutions. As South Africa gears up for the national elections, the youth unemployment crisis must be tackled head-on. Youth unemployment is not merely a statistic; it is a national emergency demanding immediate and sustained attention

 

All political parties must prioritise youth employment in their agendas, committing to concrete policies and actionable plans to create opportunities for our youth. Empty promises are no longer enough; our young people deserve tangible

 

⁠The report highlights that SA’s young people have disengaged from the labour market and that they are not building on their skills base through education and training. More than four in every 10 young people are not in employment, education or training
