SOUTH AFRICA
  • President Cyril Ramaphosa called for a reform of the United Nations Security Council, which remained "largely unchanged" since its creation after World War II.

  • EWN reported that Justice Minister Thembi Simelane may appear before the African National Congress's (ANC's) ethics committee later today over her alleged involvement in a corruption scandal.
  • The National Treasury holds a regular bond auction today. On offer will be ZAR1.25bn of 10% 2033 bonds, ZAR1.25bn of 10.875% 2038 bonds and ZAR1.25bn of 9% 2040 bonds.
