Business leaders are fed up. South Africa's unemployment rate has increased from under 25% a decade ago to 33.9% in the second quarter of 2022, and that's if you ignore the discouraged job seekers. A whopping 66% of young people are not employed. Warnings about a recurrence of the July 2021 riots are growing as escalating food prices and other living expenses have pushed more households towards and below the poverty line. And South Africa seems stuck in the 1% to 1.5% growth corridor, which means there isn't much hope for the unemployed and hungry.The country's GDP growth can't seem to reach 5%, something other emerging countries already have. The GDP per capita and industrial output have declined materially, but Eskom still can't generate enough electricity to keep the economy going - even with less demand. Nedbank CEO Mike Brown said it was time the government accepted that economic growth won't magically appear from somewhere without it delivering on the structural reforms it has been promising for the past decade.
The recent quarrel between the EU and SA over import rules has not so far affected SA’s avocado exporters — but local avo exporters and “marketers” caution they also face similar logistical problems at major European ports. Local avocado growers garner better profits from exports than domestic sales, and SA avocado farming has become largely an export business. Export volumes in 2021 were similar to those of 2020, with SA sending about 16-million 4kg cartons to overseas markets. In 2020, overall SA exports of avocados were valued at nearly $77m, with about 65%-70% of the annual crop exported. Though 2021 was not the best season for local avocados, with about the same amount of production tonnage as in 2020 and less than in 2018, the local “green gold” has nonetheless been scoring overseas, and predominantly in the EU. SA exporters have made gains in the EU and UK, which represent the deep, affluent markets for local exporters. The main importing countries of SA avocados are the Netherlands, France, Spain and the UK. SA is the second-biggest avocado supplier to the Netherlands with an 11% share, and also to the larger European market with a 14% share.
Ons landbouers wat langs die grens met Lesotho boer, word daagliks beroof van skape en beeste- En daar is baie min wat gedoen word om hierdie boere te beskerm. Die veediewe skryf sommer self die permitte uit wat jy nodig het om vee te vervoer. By padblokkades word hierdie permitte net aanvaar. Miljoene rande se vee word jaarliks gesteel en oor die grens geneem.
Ons edelagbare President het die naweek gewys hoe mense 'n gat in 'n teerpad heelmaak ten aanskoue van al sy volgelinge. Hy het 'n roller gebruik om die gat toe te rol. Die regerings elf is verantwoordelik vir die swak toestand van die paaie en nou dink hulle dat om gate met 'n bietjie teer regtemaak dit die probleem gaan oplos- Paaie moet instand gehou word en oorgebou word waneer dit vol gate is.

The latter includes scientists and economists.The competition closes at the end of October 2022 and the winners will be announced at an event held at the historical Villa Arcadia in Parktown in November.

Vinnige klimaatsverandering kan die fisiologie, optrede en voortplantingsukses van diere negatief raak.

About 80% of the billions of dollars pledged by rich nations for South Africa's shift away from coal will be loans, not grants, and some may be hard to unlock due to national rules protecting domestic jobs, an official familiar with the matter said.
The greatest threat to honey bees isn’t much larger than a pinhead. But left unchecked, the varroa mite—a blind, eight-legged parasite—can kill enough bees to doom an entire colony. Now, researchers report that a strain of honey bee bred to fight back survives much better than standard commercial colonies, even under the stressful conditions of industrial-scale pollinating.

Suid Afrika se regering wil nou ook beheer neem oor hoe jy jou boerewors moet maak- die regulasies is meer van toepassing op die handel . Die regering sukkel nog steeds om beheer te neem oor die land en sy mense - so ek dink nie hulle gaan suksesvol wees met die reels en regulasies van jou eie boerewors nie.

Die Internasionale Monetêre Fonds het ‘n lening van een-komma-drie miljard dollar aan Zambië goedgekeur. Die IMF sê die lening sal Zambië help om ekonomiese stabiliteit te herstel en hoër en meer inklusiewe groei te bevorder. Volgens die organisasie is die land nie in staat om na jare se ekonomiese wanbestuur — armoede, ongelykheid en ondervoeding op sy eie te hanteer nie.
