Date: Wednesday, 10 December 2025
Time: 11h00
Venue: GCIS, Ronnie Mamoepa Media Centre, 1035 Francis Baard, Hatfield, Pretoria
The Government Communication and Information System (GCIS) is pleased to announce the launch of the 2026 Southern African Development Community (SADC) Media Awards. Entries are now open in four categories: Photojournalism, Print Journalism, Television Journalism, and Radio Journalism.
Government welcomes the latest Gross Domestic Product (GDP) results released by Statistics South Africa today (2 December 2025), showing that the economy grew by 0,5% in the third quarter of 2025. The growth marks the third consecutive quarter of growth following the 0,9% expansion in the second quarter. The continued improvement reflects the resilience of the South African economy and the impact of ongoing structural reforms to support inclusive and sustained growth.
The fight against Gender-Based Violence and Femicide (GBVF) is traditionally viewed as a “women’s issue” and a battle that is to be conquered by women, and this notion makes it difficult to frame GBVF as a systemic issue.
Government welcomes the decision by the South African Reserve Bank’s Monetary Policy Committee to cut the interest rate by 25 basis points, bringing the repo rate to 6.75% and the prime lending rate to 10.25%.
The rate cut is expected to ease pressure on consumers with loans, support small businesses, and encourage investment and economic activity. Government continues to prioritise measures that help reduce the cost of living, create jobs, and improve economic stability.
