  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.

BLAKE LIVELY 'RUINED' IN HOLLYWOOD AFTER LAWSUIT AND NO ONE IS 'SHEDDING TEARS' OVER HER, SOURCE CLAIMS. (PHOTO).


 Blake Lively 'ruined' in Hollywood after lawsuit and no one is 'shedding tears' over her, source claims


Blake Lively’s ongoing legal battle with Justin Baldoni has reached a critical stage, and the fallout is already affecting her standing in Hollywood. 


After a federal judge dismissed most of her claims including sexual harassment and defamation she is left with only three allegations to prove at trial: breach of contract, retaliation, and aiding and abetting retaliation. 


Industry insiders have suggested that her reputation has taken a major hit, with some executives claiming the lawsuit has “ruined her” and that she may struggle to recover professionally. 


Lively, however, remains defiant, insisting on pursuing the case not only for herself but for other victims of harassment.


Her public statements have drawn mixed reactions. While she expressed gratitude for the chance to present her story to a jury, brand experts warn that her outspoken stance could backfire if she loses. 


Comparisons have already been made to Amber Heard, with analysts noting that a verdict in Baldoni’s favor could leave Lively vulnerable to being viewed as a “pariah” in the industry. 


Entertainment attorneys emphasize that winning the case is crucial for her to restore her image, as her reputation has already suffered significant damage. 


The trial, scheduled for May 18, is expected to hinge on witness credibility and the effectiveness of each side’s legal team.


Meanwhile, rumors suggest that Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds may be preparing for a semi‑permanent move to the U.K., having reportedly purchased a home in Barnet. 


The speculation comes amid strained ties with Hollywood peers, including Taylor Swift, who was pulled into the dispute through Baldoni’s allegations. 


With both Lively and Reynolds facing career uncertainty, the outcome of the trial could determine not only her professional trajectory but also the couple’s future in the entertainment industry.
