US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a history-making jurist, feminist icon and national treasure. As you embark on your own legal journey take inspiration from her words. bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-cana…

I offer my deep condolences to the Mandela family as we mourn the passing of a fearless political activist who was a leader in her own right. Our sadness is compounded by this loss being visited upon us just days before the world marks the birthday of the great Nelson Mandela.

South Africa has its own George Floyd's & Eric Garner's. Their names are Andries Tatane, Sibusiso Amos, Collins Khosa just to name a few. Died at the hands of SAPS and SANDF members. Never got justice for their brutal deaths. Lest we forget.

On Saturday, we published a story about philanthropist Bill Gates’ support for SA with Covid-19. We wrongly reported that Gates wants to test a “vaccine” in Africa. This is false. The Gates Foundation will support SA with testing kits and research. We apologise for the mistake.

SO, WE ARE JUNK. #Moody’s could have easily and justifiably stayed this decision to see what SA’s moves will be post the COVID-19 pandemic. Moody’s has been a long-standing supporter of SA but this decision seems like kicking an individual when they are down. #Moodys #JunkStatus

Like his first address, this one is a sobering, well thought out statement that addresses a number of key elements in the country. Love him or hate him Ramaphosa was the man for the job and I shudder to think how other politicians would handle this crisis #cyrilramaphosa

I really love what #Rwanda is doing! Portable wash basins have been taken to bus stops, restaurants & shops across the capital of Kigali. They must be applauded. Lessons in there for all. #Coronavirus #Covid_19
