If you’ve been eyeing that repo rate decision this week, wondering whether your bond repayments are about to climb again, you’re not alone — half the country is doing the same nervous maths. It’s the kind of uncertainty that makes an R36 million combined Powerball and Powerball XTRA jackpot look awfully appealing right about now. So while the economists debate what the Reserve Bank might do, plenty of hopeful South Africans are quietly betting on a different sort of financial relief tonight.
Numbers updated here after the draw — Powerball and Powerball XTRA draw every Tuesday and Friday at 21:00 SAST.
