Bearings maker SKF Q1 core profit beats, sees sales dip in Q2
Sweden's SKF, the world's biggest maker of industrial bearings, reported adjusted first-quarter earnings that topped market expectations in the face of slowing demand and said it expected softer like-for-like sales in the second quarter. SKF reported adjusted operating earnings of 3.30 billion Swedish crowns ($303 million) in the quarter compared to 3.48 billion a year ago and above a mean forecast of 3.11 billion, according to a LSEG compilation of analyst estimates. The Gothenburg-based company, whose bearings are found in products such as cars, tools and wind turbines, forecast a mid-single-digit like-for-like sales decline in the second quarter after sales fell 7% organically in the first quarter.

South Africa to mark 30 years of freedom amid inequality, poverty and a tense election ahead
As 72-year-old Nonki Kunene walks through the corridors of Thabisang Primary School in Soweto, South Africa, she recalls the joy she and many others felt 30 years ago when they voted for the first time. It was at this school on April 27, 1994 that Kunene joined millions of South Africans to brave long queues and take part in the country's first democratic elections after decades of white minority rule which denied Black people the right to vote. Like many things in South Africa, the school that Kunene remembers has changed, and what used to be a school hall has now been turned into several classrooms.
