The Township Economy Report: shorturl.at/QueVV The Township Economy is a R900 billion market that represents nearly a third of South Africa’s population and plays a vital role in shaping the country’s social and economic fabric.

Consistent with its historic commitment to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East, I have decided that France will recognize the State of Palestine. I will make this solemn announcement before the United Nations General Assembly this coming September. The urgent priority today is to end the war in Gaza and to bring relief to the civilian population. Peace is possible. We need an immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages, and massive humanitarian aid for the people of Gaza. We must also ensure the demilitarization of Hamas, secure and rebuild Gaza. And finally, we must build the State of Palestine, guarantee its viability, and ensure that by accepting its demilitarization and fully recognizing Israel, it contributes to the security of all in the region. There is no alternative. The French people want peace in the Middle East. It is our responsibility — as French citizens, alongside Israelis, Palestinians, and our European and international partners — to prove that peace is possible. In light of the commitments made to me by the President of the Palestinian Authority, I have written to him to express my determination to move forward. Trust, clarity, and resolve. We will achieve peace.

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done. My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it. I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

Opportunities multiply as they are seized. They dwindle when neglected.

Happy #FreedomDay 🇿🇦 ❤️

Up to an hour ago, there was a debate on what would convince the US Administration to opt for some type of pause on tariffs. Would it be Congress, the President's advisors, business leaders, the legal system, markets, or something else? We got the answer today: It's the government bond market--particularly, how close it gets to the line that separates wild price volatility from market malfunctioning. #economy #markets
