In the past decade, there has been an overall increase in first-generation students across racial groups. Seventy-five percent of first-year students are the first in their family to attend university. Although these students come to university with an inspiring motivation to succeed, higher-education research shows that these students are at risk due to a lack of role models in their immediate family.

For anyone trading in forex during the pandemic, things have been quite uncertain in the markets and this created volatility. Volatility can be seen as a good or a bad thing. It increases risk but can also increase profits for the brave and the shrewd.

Our next guest speculates that based on the year’s events, 2021 will be a revealing year given our struggling economy. “For anyone who’s looking to make a lot of money, now might be a good time to hit the ground running. But they need to be mindful that they could just as soon lose everything they invest as have a sudden windfall in returns”.

A core theme of this year's 16 Days of Activism is economic justice for women. Deputy President, David Mabuza, launched the campaign under the national theme: Women’s Economic Justice for a Non-Violent and Non-Sexist South Africa'. One of the reasons why women cannot leave abusive relationships is due to the lack of economic participation.
