After nearly two decades of legal wrangling, the mobile telecoms giant has quietly reached an out-of-court settlement with Nkosana Makate. But at what cost? By @mcleodd:

The saga is a parable for corporate South Africa: when promises are left unfulfilled and disputes roll on for decades, the cost is higher than the headline payout

Rand looks like it's going to move stronger than R17/$. New inflation target of 3% no doubt helping sentiment...

So, after nearly two decades of bitter legal wrangling, Vodacom and Nkosana Makate have settled out of court. Doubt Vodacom will want to disclose the number, but will it be required to in future financial reporting?

No US President has ever spoken about his predecessor like this. Ever. Trump lost the 2020 Election badly. He is hateful. Spiteful. Nasty. Biden was nothing but gracious to him after the 2024 Election as was Harris. And saying this while abroad. Despicable.
Donald Trump on former President Biden this morning: “He is a criminal and should be in jail. A major lowlife and failure. An ugly person, both inside and out. I beat him badly and love watching him squirm now.”

Affinity, recently acquired by Canva, has just announced its photo editing and design software is now completely free to download and use. It's really good software - I've been using the paid version for a while. This is the equivalent of a nuclear bomb on Adobe headquarters!

Amazing chart, Venezuela used to be wealthier than Poland. Poland introduced capitalism & free market principles, Venezuela followed socialism Free market makes people wealthier, socialism always ends in bitter poverty and misery. Why are young people so fascinated by socialism?

The Elettrica is a driver’s EV that puts Alfa squarely back at the top of the game. Without question, this is an Alfa - and a worthy one.

Nvidia's market cap has just topped $5-trillion in pre-market trading. Assuming it holds at the open in New York, Nvidia will become the world's first company with a $5-trillion valuation!
