While the "progressive caucus" within Parliament may seem promising, Motloung warns of its potential collapse into farce or tragedy, noting its troubling embrace of paramilitarism, nativism, and violent rhetoric that echoes dangerous historical ideologies.

One of Africa’s largest diversified financial services groups reports a significant rise in e-commerce transactions, with a 25% increase in Q1 and steady growth throughout the year.
