Net minder as 86 474 mense het die jaar se skou bygewoon. Altesaam 20 835 mense het Vrydag, die laaste dag van die skou bygewoon, met 45 vastevlerkvliegtuie en 10 helikopters wat geland het, en 109 bewegings wat op die aanloopbaan hanteer is. Dr. Dirk Strydom, hoof van Graan SA se Nampo-afdeling asook bemarkings- en navorsingskoördinering, het gesê die warmer weer by vanjaar se skou was 'n bydraende faktor tot die goeie besoekersgetalle. Volgens dr. Tobias Doyer, uitvoerende hoof van Graan SA, wat vanjaar sy eerste Nampo aan stuur van Graan SA beleef het, is dit heerlik om te sien dat boere so ’n ongelooflike skou kan aanbied. “Ons is nie professionele skou-organiseerders nie, en ons doen dit elke jaar. Nampo 2025 sal volgende jaar op 13 Mei afskop.
South Africa has cracked the top ten of the world’s most beautiful countries to visit, according to a new ranking by online trip-planning company Rough Guides. New Zealand, has been voted as the world’s most beautiful after narrowly beating last year’s number 1, Italy. The annual ranking was determined by votes from readers across the globe and is aimed to identify the world’s top 20 most beautiful countries. It considered various categories determined by voters, such as the landscapes, culture, people, architecture, food, and much more. The countries which made up Rough Guides’ 20 – 11 rankings are: 20 – Japan 19 – Slovenia 18 – Portugal 17 – Indonesia 16 – India 15 – Croatia 14 – Argentina 13 – Iceland 12 – Chile 11 – United States of America.
April marked the end of SA’s 2023-24 marketing year for maize. This marketing year corresponds with the 2022-23 production season, as the crop harvested midyear in 2023 was marketed from then to end-April. According to data from the crop estimates committee of the department of agriculture, forestry & fisheries, the 2022-23 production season was characterised by an excellent harvest of 16.4-million tonnes. This was on the back of large plantings and the favourable summer rainfall that boosted the yields. The ample harvest allowed SA to maintain its position in export markets as the world’s ninth-largest maize exporter, trailing the US, Brazil, Argentina, Ukraine, Romania, France, Paraguay and Poland. Data from the SA Grains Information Services shows that in the 2023-24 marketing year, the exports amounted to 3.4-million tonnes, down 6% from the previous year. About 63% of the exported maize was yellow, with 37% being white maize. In the past, South Korea, Japan and Taiwan were the leading markets for SA’s maize exporters. But in the 2023-24 marketing year Zimbabwe took the lion’s share of the exports, accounting for 18% of the 3.4-million tonnes exported.
Four in five people believe the government is not doing enough to address corruption, according to a new Corruption Watch report. The nonprofit organisation says the report reveals a clear demand for stricter consequences for any corrupt behaviour of government officials. The Impact of Corruption: Insights From a Perceptions and Experiences Survey questioned 1 500 respondents in all provinces and assessed the profound impact of corruption on people’s lives. Findings in the report revealed a lack of confidence in the efficacy and ability of law enforcement agencies to tackle corruption. It reported that 81% believed the government was not doing enough to address corruption in the provision of basic services. “More than half of the respondents [73%] agreed corruption mostly affects the provision of housing and land, safety and protection of communities [69%], the provision of quality education [68%], access to quality health care [67%], the administering of justice by courts [64%] and food security [62%],” the report noted. Corruption is part of life in South Africa- Regarding interactions with officials in relation to corruption, the report said 24% of 600 to 700 respondents had admitted to giving a “gift”, or doing a favour for police officers, car licence officers (23%) or traffic management officials (23%). Look at all the so called Millionares - all corrupt- Thieves in every way.

Cow methane, although emitted in smaller quantities, has a stronger warming effect compared to carbon dioxide. Over the past 100 years, carbon dioxide has caused the highest warming effect, followed by methane and nitrous oxide. Despite methane's shorter lifespan in the atmosphere, its radiative forcing capability makes efforts to reduce cow methane crucial. READ MORE

Dit was opvallend met hoeveel geesdrif van ons banke in Suid Afrika hulle "groot- en "ryk klieente onthaal het by Nampo. Dis 'n baie goeie gebaar en dit is goeie Klieente diens. Daar word jaarliks miljoene uit die landbouers se besigheid gemaak en die bank verskaf ook groot dienste aan die boere- Maar wat die banke nie moet vergeet nie- is hulle getroue jarelange klieente wat 50 en 60 jaar plus reeds klieente van die bank is - en nou in baie gevalle net 'n nommer en net nog 'n klieent. Ek kan onthou hoe van hierdie banke se amptenare hulleself kom bekend gestel het op die plaas en met baie mooi praatjies jou rekening wou gehad het. Daar is sekere banke wat 45 jaar terug nuut begin het onder 'n ander naam. Ander banke is nog jonger en ouer. Tye het verander- maar seker goed is blywend. Die klieente wat vandag 50/60 jaar en meer by banke is het help bou - Moenie hierdie mense in die hande van junior Korporatiewe personeel plaas wat geen mense verhoudinge het nie- die mense was getrou aan die bank en het hulle geld aan julle toevertrou en julle het baie geld uit hulle gemaak. Dit was lankal tyd om hierdie mense op een of ander manier te beloon- daar is genoeg geld.
Namibië het by die wêreld aangesluit om Wêreldtelekommunikasie- en Inligtingsamelewingsdag te vier onder die tema: “Digitale Innovasie vir Volhoubare Ontwikkeling”. Die dag dien as ‘n herinnering aan die eindelose geleenthede wat die digitale ruimte bied, veral in hoe digitale innovasie konnektiwiteit en volhoubare welvaart vir almal kan bevorder.

Owerhede in die Ivoorkus het sowat 40 koöperasies geskors wat hulle vermoed kakaobone onwettig opgaar om dit teen ‘n hoër prys te verkoop aan uitvoerders wat sukkel om hul kontrakte na te kom. Daar is tekorte aan kakaobone weens klimaatsverandering. Geskorste koöperasies en onafhanklike kopers het sedert die begin van die middel-oes vroeg in April meer as 60 000 metrieke ton kakao opgegaar en alhoewel dit nie onwettig is om bone op te gaar nie, is dit onwettig om voorraad terug te hou om hoër pryse te vra.
S&P Global Ratings has retained SA’s foreign currency rating at BB- with a stable outlook. The decision was expected by most analysts with Nedbank economist Isaac Matshego and Investec chief economist Annabel Bishop both saying earlier on Friday: “We expect no change.” S&P last downgraded SA’s rating in April 2020 to three rungs below investment grade as the world was thrust into the Covid-19 pandemic and global economic activity ground to a near halt. The next scheduled review from S&P is in November. It can however change a rating at any time.
