  South Africa's Unemployment Rate Rises to 33.6% in Q2 2026 South Africa's unemployment rate climbed to 33.6% in the second quarter of 2026, up from 32.7% in the first quarter, according to new figures from the national statistics department. The number of unemployed people rose to 8.5 million, while the number of employed people fell by 16,000 to 16.7 million. The data shows job losses across key sectors including community and social services, mining, agriculture, manufacturing and utilities. The steepest declines were recorded in the Western Cape, Gauteng, and North West provinces. Officials did not provide clear reasons for the downturn, leaving the main drivers of the rising unemployment rate uncertain.

 Alabama student James Gracey, 20, found dead two days after vanishing in Barcelona


James “Jimmy” Gracey, a 20-year-old University of Alabama student, was found dead in Barcelona after disappearing during a spring break trip. 


Catalan police confirmed that divers recovered his body near Port Olympic on Thursday evening, and his family has been notified. 


Authorities believe he drowned, though an autopsy will be conducted to determine the exact cause of death. Gracey was last seen leaving the beachfront nightclub Shôko around 3 a.m. Tuesday with an unidentified person.


Investigators pieced together his final movements using witness accounts and security footage. A passerby reported seeing him head toward a rocky breakwater near the beach, where police suspect he may have fallen into the water. 


Search teams deployed boats, divers, drones, and helicopters, eventually locating his wallet floating offshore before discovering his body in shallow waters. 


While Gracey had been seen speaking with an American woman inside the club, police have not identified the person he left with, and they do not believe foul play was involved.


Gracey, originally from Elmhurst, Illinois, was a member of the Theta Chi fraternity at Alabama. His friends said they lost track of him in the crowded nightclub, and police have interviewed those he was staying with at an Airbnb. 


His family, choosing to focus on grieving together, expressed gratitude for the support they’ve received during this tragedy. 


For now, investigators continue to review footage and witness statements to clarify what happened after Gracey became separated from his group.
