  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.

NO REASON FOR NNAMDI KANU’S IMPRISONMENT. NO ONE SHOULD BE ARRESTED FOR INSULTING PEOPLE- PETER OBI. (PHOTO).


 No reason for Nnamdi Kanu’s imprisonment. No one should be arrested for insulting people- Peter Obi


The presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, Peter Obi, says he sees no reason why Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB is being incarcerated.


Obi stated this during an interaction with Nigerians in Washington, D.C., United States, a few days ago. The former Anambra State governor said he had consistently maintained that Kanu should not remain in custody.


‘’I have said this repeatedly, there is no reason for keeping (in prison) Nnamdi Kanu. As far as I’m concerned, there’s no reason whatsoever.


You cannot arrest somebody because he was speaking on radio and calling people names. It doesn’t make sense. Anybody can tell you anything. I’m a politician. People call me all sorts of names.

I don’t think calling me names is an offence. It is not an offence.


If I’m in government today, I will discuss with all agitators. I will engage with them. I will consult with them.


Because I believe that they have a reason for whatever they want to do. It’s only by engaging them that we’ll learn and see how we can solve it.”


Kanu is currently serving a life imprisonment sentence following his conviction on terrorism-related charges by a Federal High Court in Abuja in November 2025. The court found him guilty of multiple counts bordering on incitement, membership of a proscribed organisation, and alleged involvement in attacks linked to separatist activities in the South-East.
