Abstract
Subject South African reform dillemmas. Significance The rand dropped to eight-month lows last week amid conflicting signals from the ruling ANC on changing the mandate of the South African Reserve Bank (SARB). This followed news of the worst first-quarter economic decline in a decade. Renewed question marks have been raised over President Cyril Ramaphosa’s ability to gain consensus on economic policy and to provide the policy certainty that investors desperately seek. Impacts The 27.6% unemployment rate (over 50% for young people) will likely edge higher, providing fertile ground for social protest and crime. Weakness in the rand could re-ignite concerns about inflation, making an interest rate cut less likely this year despite weak growth. The government's reluctance to put South African Airways into business rescue may force it to try to bring in a strategic equity partner.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
