  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.

A Federal Capital Territory High Court in Abuja has discharged former Aviation Minister Stella Oduah and her co-defendant, Gloria Odita, from a N2.5 Billion Fraud Case.

The decision follows a Plea bargain agreement where two companies linked to Oduah, Sobora International Limited and Global Offshore and Marine Limited, pleaded guilty to amended charges and agreed to forfeit N1.98 billion to the Federal Government.


The Court ordered the companies to be wound up and to forfeit N1.2 Billion in restitution and N780 Million recovered during the investigation to the Federal Government. 

Oduah and Odita were originally arraigned in December 2025 on a five-count charge bordering on Fraud, Criminal breach of trust, and Obtaining money by false pretences.
