Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.SOUTH AFRICAN stocks finished weaker, weighed largely by a financial sector suffering nagging concerns about bad debt.
The All Share Index fell by 80.6 points, 1.17 per cent, to 6,817.8. The bank-dominated Financial Index dropped 2.36 per cent: industrials sagged 1.81 per cent. Dealers said Johannesburg equities looked oversold and were likely to rally today. But they said the threat of more public service strikes after the government abandoned wage talks with public sector unions also weighed on market sentiment.
