Positive indicators in job-loss statistics

The mining sector has surprisingly not recorded job losses in the third quarter, despite mining companies reporting jobs cuts over the period, according to unemployment figures released by Statistics SA on Tuesday.

The agriculture sector also unexpectedly added a significant number of jobs even after a severe drought earlier this year sharply curbed output.
But despite these positive indicators, unemployment still rose from 25% to 25.5% in the third quarter — indicating that 5.4-million people looking for work were unable to find any, the quarterly labour force survey showed on Tuesday.

Kanye West Wins Award from Taylor Swift , Claims to be Running for President in 2020 at MTV VMAs

Kanye for President, bro.

What started as an opportunity for Kanye West to mend fences with Taylor Swift after their infamous run in at the 2009 VMAs ended up as bizarre, rambling campaign speech.

"As you have probably guessed, I have decided to run for president in 2020," he concluded to much applause - and laughter - making it unclear whether or not he was serious about a political run, especially after he admitted to rolling "a little something" before the show.

Interviewed: Africa’s Fastest Rapper, Sarkodie Arrives Ahead of His Time-

 “I wish Sarkodie was born in Harlem because I’d be bigger than Kanye and Jay,” the Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie (Michael Owusu Addo to those who know him personally) boasts on “Preach,” a track off his 2014 album Sarkology. Jay Z and Kanye West are artists he expresses great admiration for, but the 27-year-old has built an enviable career of his own. He’s one of the most bankable and popular MCs in Africa, and one of the most well-known outside of it. The list of national and international awards he has received has its own Wikipedia page and includes MTV Africa and BET Awards. Put his CV next to his discography of international hits and groundbreaking albums, and his hyperbolic bon mot starts to seem, well, quite reasonable.

 

This past month, he brought the massive annual concert he usually holds with other artists in Accra to the Apollo in New York City. The sold-out show was billed as “Sarkodie: History in the Making” and it was at least unusual for an event of its kind in the States. While Ghanaian stars like Sarkodie or rapper E.L.—who was also on the bill—come to New York from time to time, they often play big all-night affairs in the Bronx where a large Ghanaian community resides. This event coming together at the Apollo indicates that west Africa’s bold-face names are making greater inroads in the US. It’s also testament to Sarkodie’s star power.
