Siviwe Tyobeka: Wêreldburger wat kan
Dit is aanvanklik nie opmerklik nie. Eers wanneer Siviwe Tyobeka die verhaal van haar kinderjare vertel, begin jy dit hoor. Dofweg en buitengewoon. ’n Wonderlike intonasie. Die klank van die wêreld. Siviwe is in Johannesburg gebore, maar hulle het na die Verenigde State van Amerika verhuis toe sy net agt maande oud was, aangesien haar pa, dr…https://news.nwu.ac.za/nwu-and-partners-launch-api-plus-lab-grow-sas-bio-economy

Die invloed van skokke oor verskafferspryse het ’n toepaslike reaksie vanaf die monetêre beleid nodig
“Met die oorkoepelende balans van ekonomiese risiko’s wat Suid-Afrika tans in die gesig staar, is die oordeel van die Monetêre Beleidskomitee (MBK) dat ’n 25-basispunt-styging tans die regte ding is, hoewel die toon en taal van die MBK-verklaring duidelik aanvallend was.” Dit is die mening van prof Raymond Parsons, ekonoom van die…https://news.nwu.ac.za/influence-supply-side-shocks-prices-needs-appropriate-response-monetary-policy
Influence of supply-side shocks on prices needs appropriate response from monetary policy
“Given the overall balance of economic risks currently facing South Africa, the judgement of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) that a 25 basis-point rise should suffice for now is right, although the tone and language of the MPC statement was distinctly hawkish.” This is the view of Prof Raymond Parsons, economist from the Business School of…https://news.nwu.ac.za/nwu-academic-elected-president-african-astronomical-society

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine: what does it hold for South African consumers?
The invasion of Ukraine by Russia has sent shockwaves across the globe, causing significant uncertainty in global markets.

Rusland se inval in Oekraïne: wat beteken dit vir Suid-Afrikaanse verbruikers?
Rusland se inval van Oekraïne het skokgolwe regoor die wêreld gestuur en beduidende onsekerheid in wêreldmarkte veroorsaak. Hoewel ons geografies ver van hierdie strydende lande is, beteken die moderne era van globalisering en sterk integrasie van markte deur handel en finansiële vloei dat Suid-Afrikaners moontlik die uitwerking daarvan aan hulle…https://news.nwu.ac.za/anja-sets-her-sights-early-detection-kidney-disease-young-south-africans

Bertie Jacobs ’n Arend het nie slagtande nie – kloue wel. Maar, sou die NWU Eagles eersgenoemde gehad het, sou hulle dié weliswaar ook in die NMMU Madibaz ingeslaan het.

Bertie Jacobs An Eagle does not have fangs, but they do have claws. However, should the NWU Eagles have had the former, they probably would have used them on the NMMU Madibaz too. On Monday evening on the Fanie du Toit sports grounds the Eagles thrashed their visitors from Gqeberha with 61–26.

In die nadraai van die Covid-19-pandemie het die uitsluiting van selfs nog meer Suid-Afrikaanse burgers van ekonomiese aktiwiteit die land se reeds brose vrede verder laat verswak.
