Die eerste helfte van 2025 was allesbehalwe kalm, met 'n golf van ekonomiese skokke en geopolitieke probleme wat wêreldmarkte en beleggersvertroue geskud het. Terwyl aandele gereeld hoofopskrifte haal, het kommoditeite die duidelikste seine van die onderliggende wêreldwye bui gelewer. Namate makro-ekonomiese risiko's vererger, pas beleggers hul taktieke aan en kyk hulle toenemend na kommoditeite as aanduiders van wêreldwye stabiliteit.

Capricorn Group het 'n sterk vertoning gelewer in die jaar tot Desember 2024, met 'n hoër opbrengs op ekwiteit van 19,1 persent, vanaf 16,8 persent verlede jaar.

Ondanks hierdie sukses is daar steeds uitdagings soos stadige leningsgroei, stygende koste en druk op die winsmarges as gevolg van moontlike koersverlagings.

FirstRand Namibia het sterk finansiële resultate vir die eerste helfte van sy 2025 finansiële jaar gelewer, gekenmerk deur verhoogde verdienste, robuuste voor-voorsieningswinste en stewige leningsgroei, wat doeltreffende bedryfsbestuur demonstreer. Maar, volgens ‘n ontleding deur Simonis Storm dui stygende waardedalingskoste en nie-presterende lenings egter op groeiende kredietrisiko's, en met die voordele van koersverlagings wat afneem en dus staar die bank 'n meer uitdagende tweede helfte in die gesig waar doeltreffendheid en risikobestuur deurslaggewend sal wees om prestasie te handhaaf.

A group of doctors, healthcare workers, and patient rights groups in South Africa believe there’s a better way to improve healthcare than the government’s current plan, the National Health Insurance (NHI) Act. They say the NHI is unrealistic, too expensive, and doesn’t solve the real problems in both public and private healthcare. Instead, this group, called the Universal Healthcare Access Coalition (UHAC), has come up with a more practical plan that could be put into action sooner and wouldn’t require raising taxes too much. Their plan would keep both private and public healthcare but fix the issues in both systems. Prof Alex van den Heever, Universal Healthcare Access Coalition (UHAC) Steering Committee Member shares more now.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Die gasvryheidsektor het 'n gemengde prestasie in die derde kwartaal beleef, met nasionale gemiddelde besettingsyfers wat effens gedaal het vergeleke met vorige jare.

“We do not attain anything by our own holiness, but by ten thousand surrenders to mercy. A lifetime of received forgiveness allows you to become mercy.” - Richard Rohr

"Die “honger en dors” waarvan hierdie saligspreking praat, staan eintlik in vir al ons verlangens en begeertes. En die “reg” waarna Matteus verwys is nie net die teenoorgestelde van verkeerd nie. Dis nie ‘n sinoniem vir “korrek” of “deugsaam” nie. Dis 'n veel meer dinamiese konsep in die Israel van Jesus se tyd. Dis 'n energiebelaaide sfeer van heilige teenwoordigheid. Om IN die geregtigheid van God te wees is om direk verbind aan en geanker te wees in hierdie kragveld."

"Ons komplimenteer graag iemand wat alles met “oorgawe” aanpak en bedoel dan eintlik seker: voluit, met passie. Maar oorgawe is nie iets wat mens kan byvoeg, soos ‘n bestanddeel in ‘n resep nie: meng dit MET melk. Oorgawe is die mengbak. Dis nie met nie; dis in."

In a few hundred years, when the history of our time will be written from a long-term perspective, it is likely that the most important event historians will see is not technology, not the Internet, not e-commerce. It is an unprecedented change in the human condition. For the first time – literally – substantial and rapidly growing numbers of people have choices. For the first time, they will have to manage themselves. And society is totally unprepared for it. Peter Drucker
