South Africa's economy in 2014-2017
12/14/2014
Deteriorating prospects for foreign investment in South Africa for 2015. Economic growth is forecast by the IMF to remain below 2.5% for years till the power situation is tackled. Growth is estimated in 2014 at a mere 1.4%, not enough to reduce high unemployment of over 25%. Lower commodity prices for mining exports, and a decline in the value of the rand reduce any benefit from lower oil prices. The government of president Zuma is seen as ineffective in tackling power shortages, and making changes at electricity company Eskom which suffers from cash shortages.

Michiko Kakutani writing about Nadine Gordimer in 1991, as Apartheid Africa cast a long shadow on people's lives
10/04/1991
No didacticism, just the universal themes in the context of South African society under the shadow of Apartheid, where people are strangers to the people next to them. But the shadow cast is long and deep affecting all aspects of life.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
