Stormers to face crack French team in Bay
'This is sure to be another big occasion against one of the top club teams in the world and we are looking forward to experiencing the vibrant atmosphere in Gqeberha once again.' Stormers chief executive Johan le Roux said after the success of last season's match in Gqeberha, the challenge would be to go even bigger and better this time. 'Our Investec Champions Cup match in Nelson Mandela Bay last season was a fantastic experience for all who were there and we want to build on that,' he said. 'With the DHL Stadium not available for this fixture, we are thrilled to be able to call Gqeberha home once again.' Mandela Bay Development Agency chief executive Anele Qaba said his team and the people of Gqeberha were ready to put on a show. 'We saw last year how much it means to the residents of our city and the entire province to watch top-tier rugby and the Stormers are bringing us another blockbuster in the Investec Champions Cup,' Qaba said. 'I am pleased that the stadium met the Stormers' expectations last year and, as a result, they are able to consider Nelson Mandela Bay as an alternative venue for their games. 'Hosting this game at the stadium would bring a significant boost to the tourism and hospitality sector. 'The game will also assist the stadium in generating revenue and contribute towards the annual target as set by the municipality. 'We are confident that together we can improve on what we achieved last year in every way.' Tickets go on sale in October, with Stormers season ticket holders able to buy at a 50% discount.

Meet IRIS, South Africa's first AI teaching robot to boost learning in classrooms
Gumede, who has won international awards for digital innovation and was crowned Miss Tech Universe 2024-2025 in Thailand, stated that she aimed for IRIS to reach every classroom by the end of October. 'IRIS does not belong to me. It belongs to everyone of us in South Africa, and that is the reason we need partnerships to be able to do that,' she said. She stressed that the robot would not replace teachers but rather strengthen the classroom experience. 'IRIS will enhance learning and teaching in South Africa, and help to close the educational gaps in the country, particularly in maths, science and technology.' Gina urged women and young people to take advantage of government funding for innovation. 'Women must lead in shaping the future of science, innovation and fields like AI. These are the skills that will drive tomorrow's economy, and they require contributions from both men and women.' The launch featured a live demonstration, where pupils put the robot to the test. Suhani Singh, a pupil at Reddam House Ballito, asked IRIS to explain the depreciation method in accounting. To the amusement of the audience, the robot not only broke down the concept but also illustrated it with examples. Education officials emphasised that teachers would be trained to work alongside the technology. 'Technology is not here to replace teachers, but rather innovations like IRIS will be part and parcel of the future of teaching and learning,' said Mbongiseni Mazibuko, deputy director-general for curriculum management and delivery at the provincial department of education. 'While it will be some time before IRIS can reach every classroom in South Africa, the innovation demonstrates how youth, with the proper support, can contribute to the country's growth and development,' said the department.

Costs of beef, water and electricity push up consumer inflation
Consumer price inflation (CPI) rose to 3.5% month-on-month in July in line with broader expectations among economists, the highest rate since 3.8% which South Africa saw in September last year. This was announced in Statistics South Africa's (Stats SA) CPI update for July released on Tuesday morning. Ahead of the release, economists widely expected inflation to rise sharply from 3% year-on-year to 3.7% in July. 'Annual consumer price inflation was 3.5% in July 2025, up from 3.0% in June 2025. The CPI increased by 0.9% month-on-month in July 2025,' the statistical release said. Fuel prices increased by 2.6% in July after four months of decline, lifting the annual rate for fuel from -11.2% in June to -5.5% in July. According to the statistical release, the main contributors to the 3.5% annual inflation rate were food and non-alcoholic beverages, which were at 5.7% and contributed a 1.0 percentage point. Housing and utilities, which were at 4.3%, also contributed a 1.0 percentage point. In July, the annual inflation rate for goods was 3.2%, up from 2.3% in June, while services inflation was at 3.6%, down from 3.7% in June. Patrick Kelly, chief director of price statistics at Stats SA, said inflation for food and non-alcoholic beverages was driven largely by meat and vegetables. 'Meat, specifically beef, continues to be the main driver. Annual price increases for meat accelerated to 10.5% in July, extending a strong upward trend that began in February. On average, beef prices increased by 28.8% over the past 12 months and by 7.6% between June and July.' He said though higher annual rates were recorded for carrots (up 20.7%), lettuce (up 17.5%) and tomatoes (up 30.7%), the prices for the products dropped in July, signalling an end to the seasonal increase in prices. 'Most items in the other food product groups were more expensive than a year ago,' Kelly said. Tariffs for water supply increased by 12.1% in 2025, higher than the 2024 rise of 7.5%, the sharpest increase since 2018 when tariffs rose by 12.9%. Electricity climbed by 10.6% in 2025, lower than the rise in 2024 of 11.5% and the 11.3% tariff increase allowed for by the National Energy Regulator of SA. Business Times
