The public service unions briefed the media on Thursday morning on the way forward following the protest action it launched at the end of last year against the Government's decision to implement a 3% wage increase unilaterally. The unions involved include unions representing police officers and those in the medical sector as well as POPCRU, NEHAWU, DENOSA, SAEPU, PAWUSA, SAMATU, NUPSA and SAPU.

POPCRU's Richard Mamabolo said the unions think Government is being disingenuous as they are not keeping to specific processes that have been followed. These processes are supposed to be followed through the bargaining councils; instead, Government decided to make a unilateral decision. The unions believe allowing this trend to continue will set a precedent for future generations.

Besides breaking the stigma surrounding mental health, magazines, newspapers, and social media have become a breeding ground for what is called ‘Pop Psychology’. Umme Muhammad, the founder of Millennial Muslimah, who is passionate about mental health and has a particular interest in Islamic Psychology, a field in which she studied and completed advanced levels and practical training, describes ‘Pop Psychology’ as something that is a simplified version of the ‘human potential movement’.

Managing finances as a business owner is a year-round effort. The new year offers re-evaluation and improvement opportunities, allowing you to re-examine your fiscal management and make changes. In that case, it’s essential to do so responsibly because liquid capital and cash flow are the lifeblood of your business.

Speaking to Radio Islam International, Yusuf Bhamjee from Integrifin said that on the topic of business, Allah revealed in the Holy Qur’an in Suratul Jumu’ah, “and when the Jumu’ah prayer has been concluded, disperse within the land and seek from the bounty of Allah.” He added that those sleeping after the Jumu’ah prayer lose out on a blessed time.
