The United States (US) Dollar weakened to a three-month low on Wednesday as the impact of President Donald Trump's escalating trade war took hold. The greenback dropped by 1% against a basket of major currencies following the implementation of US tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China on Tuesday.

This triggered market volatility, with investors unsettled by the growing uncertainty. While it remains unclear whether these tariffs will be temporary or long-term, President Trump has announced that reciprocal tariffs will take effect next month. Analysts warn that such policies could have significant implications for emerging market currencies, including the South African (SA) Rand.


To unpack these developments and their potential consequences, Peter Ndoro spoke to Viv Govender, a Wealth Manager at Rand Swiss in SA.

Ghana celebrates 68 years of independence-a milestone that holds deep historical and political significance, not only for the nation but for the African continent as a whole.

In 1957, Ghana became the first sub-Saharan African country to break free from British colonial rule, setting a precedent for other liberation movements across Africa. Led by Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, the country embarked on a journey of self-governance, shaping its identity and development over the decades.


As Ghanaians commemorate this day, we reflect on its legacy and what independence means in today's context. To explore this is Dr. Bernard Tutu-Boahene, a Lecturer at the University of Education, Winneba, in Ghana

Lesotho has reacted with shock and disappointment following comments made by United States (US) President Donald Trump.

Speaking during a congressional address about foreign aid expenditure, Trump singled out Lesotho, dismissing it as "a country nobody has ever heard of" while arguing that American taxpayers' money was being wasted on funding certain nations. His remarks have sparked criticism, with many calling them dismissive and ignorant of Lesotho's history and contributions on the international stage.


To discuss the response from the Lesotho government, Peter Ndoro spoke to Lesotho Government Spokesperson, Thabo Sekonyela and Advocate Lekhetho Rakuoane, He is the Member of Parliament in Lesotho and Former Minister of Law and Justice also was Minister of Tourism, Environment and Culture.
