PAID MATERNITY LEAVE DROPS SHARPLY The proportion of South African employers offering four months of fully paid maternity leave has fallen sharply, dropping from 58.5% in 2023 to 41.7% in 2025, according to Remchannel’s latest Employee Benefits Guide. The decline comes amid changing parental leave regulations following a Constitutional Court ruling that supports shared parental leave, expanding the potential cost burden for employers as both parents become eligible for leave benefits. Remchannel Managing Director Lindiwe Sebesho (pictured) says companies are now reviewing employee benefits more carefully as they adapt to shifting legal and financial realities. Further changes may be on the horizon, with draft labour law amendments published in February 2026 proposing a unified shared parental leave framework. Full story - ln.run/wmJHj

I breathe you in with every heartbeat, slowly, deeply, as if your presence has always lived inside my breath, as if loving you is the most natural rhythm my soul has ever known.

Too close to be just friends. Too complicated to be lovers. Too much history to be strangers.

i’m still of the opinion that, even if you weren't raised properly, you’re an adult now, you’ve mixed with people.. learn from them at least.

I think of you constantly
