Trump says US-Iran ceasefire on ‘massive life support’ The ceasefire between the US and Iran reached a particularly precarious moment Monday as President Donald Trump said the agreement was on “massive life support” after he rejected Tehran’s latest peace offer.

The president could do worse than bribe a few seraphim, since the DA won’t save him President Cyril Ramaphosa’s legal and political advisers will be giving him all sorts of advice as the spectre of impeachment begins to loom over him again, but his next move is surely obvious: he must emulate Donald Trump by trying to distract everyone by releasing blurry videos of UFOs. Of course, Ramaphosa finds himself in a slightly better position than Trump, not being trapped in a quagmire of his own making in the Persian Gulf that looks set to unleash economic devastation on the world.

Redefine lifts 2026 guidance after 7.4% increase in half-year distributable income South African real estate investment trust (Reit) Redefine Properties says improving property fundamentals and rising operational momentum have positioned the group for sustained earnings growth in 2026, despite mounting uncertainty linked to the fluid Middle East conflict.

This is after reporting a 7.4% increase to R1.9 billion in distributable income for the six months ended 28 February. The group posted its , alongside other major

Ramaphosa says he will ask the courts
