PARLIAMENT SADDENED BY PASSING OF ICONIC JAZZ PIANIST AND COMPOSER ABDULLAH IBRAHIM Parliament, Monday, 15 June 2026 – The Presiding Officers of Parliament, led by National Assembly Speaker, Ms Thoko Didiza and National Council of Provinces Chairperson, Ms Refilwe Mtshweni-Tsipane, have learned with profound sadness of the passing of the iconic jazz pianist and composer, Adbullah Ibrahim – at the age of 91. Mr Ibrahim, previously known as Dollar Brand, was one of South Africa’s most distinguished musicians and a towering figure in the global jazz community. His musical journey spanned more than seven decades, during which he captivated audiences around the world with a deeply original style that blended the diverse musical traditions of South Africa - from the African and Khoi-San songs to the Cape Malay music, American jazz, gospel and classical influences. His music was never merely entertainment; it was a powerful weapon of liberation. During the darkest years of apartheid, Mr Ibrahim’s compositions, most notably the iconic Mannenberg, became synonymous with the struggle for freedom. Mannenberg was adopted as an unofficial anthem of the anti-apartheid movement, frequently played at rallies and concerts of the United Democratic Front and other progressive organisations, directly linking his art to the politics of resistance. As a coloured man in apartheid South Africa, he was subjected to severe racial restrictions and was repeatedly denied opportunities, including being refused admission to the University of Cape Town’s College of Music because of his race. Nevertheless, he persevered using his piano as a voice and a shield. In recognition of his immense contribution to the arts and his role in the struggle for a non-racial, democratic South Africa, Mr Ibrahim was bestowed the Order of Ikhamanga in Silver in 2009 by the then President. This national order is awarded to South Africans who have excelled in the fields of arts, culture, literature, music, journalism or sport, and Mr Ibrahim’s receipt of this honour stands as a fitting tribute to a life dedicated to excellence and justice. The Presiding Officers offer their condolences to Mr Ibrahim’s family, friends, colleagues and to the millions of South Africans and music lovers worldwide who found hope and inspiration in his timeless melodies. As Parliament, we salute a true patriot and iconic cultural giant. ISSUED BY THE PARLIAMENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA

What just happened? At 9:45 AM ET, the S&P 500 was trading nearly 1.5% higher and tech stocks were sharply higher. At 10:40 AM ET, selling pressure began to intensify without any major headlines in one of the biggest reversals of the year. Just 2 hours later, President Trump said Iran shot down a US helicopter "last night" and that the US must "respond to this attack." This sent the S&P 500 to a new low of the day, down 240 points since 9:45 AM ET. In just 3 hours, the S&P 500 has erased -$2.1 trillion in market cap. Volatility is back.

A 24-year-old Polish tennis player arrived in Paris last week ranked 114th in the world, with no sponsors, no guaranteed income, and no certainty she could even pay for her hotel room. She had to win three qualifying matches just to enter the French Open main draw. Prize money is only paid at the end of the tournament, so a Polish sports drink brand quietly stepped in and covered her hotel bill. Her name is Maja Chwalinska. And today, she plays in the French Open final. Before this tournament, she had won exactly one Grand Slam main draw match in her entire career. She had battled depression so severe that in 2021 she couldn't get out of bed. She underwent knee surgery in 2022. She spent years grinding through small tournaments across Europe just to stay afloat. Then she arrived in Paris, won three qualifiers, and kept winning. Zheng Qinwen. Elise Mertens. Maria Sakkari. Diana Shnaider. Nine straight matches. One set dropped. She is now the first qualifier in French Open history to reach the final. The last time a qualifier reached a Grand Slam final, it was Emma Raducanu at the 2021 US Open. Raducanu won. By simply making the final, Chwalinska has earned more prize money than her entire career combined. The runner-up cheque alone is $1.6 million. If she wins today, she takes home $3.25 million. One week ago she couldn't pay for her hotel room.

Quite an improvement if you ask me...

South Africa remains on course to meet its fiscal targets despite the economic uncertainty created by the recent conflict in the Middle East, National Treasury Director-General Duncan Pieterse said on Monday. Speaking at the Citi Emerging Markets Macro and Credit Conference, Pieterse said the country’s public finances had reached a turning point following the February 2026 Budget, which saw government debt stabilise relative to GDP for the first time since before the 2008 global financial crisis. tinyurl.com/3j7dcmrv #GovZAUpdates
