Disruption Timeline: Something to Think About
Disruption has become a buzzword, we hear it every second day! Everyone in digital technology wants to be the Uber of their respected industry. Thinking back in history, disruption has continued over the years. The car has replaced the horse, passenger ships replaced by airplanes, you don’t have to look hard to find an example. The timeline I am going to share in this article is no different but is, however, incredibly interesting because we are not sure how it will end?
Revisiting Questions On Fixed Income Funds
At the recent Glacier Invest Roadshow, a number of important questions relating to fixed income funds were raised, that we didn’t have time to address.

House Hunting and How To Choose Your Neighbourhood
When you’re trying to find the best places to live, choosing a neighbourhood is almost as critical as choosing a house or apartment. If you’re planning on purchasing a home, keep in mind that you’re not just buying a house, you’re investing in a neighbourhood. The two are synonymous so you need to be extra careful in choosing the area you’ll be living in.
Consume More in Retirement With Confidence
In South Africa, we grapple with the problem that people haven’t saved enough for retirement. Added to this is the fact that people are living longer, and market returns are unpredictable, so retirees need to be resilient in the face of uncertainty. With most retirees using living annuities to give them an income, many are worried their capital could run out too early. Is there a solution?
Proactivity Is The Key to Effective Cybersecurity
Given current threat levels, all organisations should assume that they will experience some sort of cybersecurity incident sooner or later—probably sooner, adds Nadia Veeran-Patel, Manager: Cyber Resilience, ContinuitySA. “Plan for the worst and, most important of all, know what to do when an incident occurs. Understanding that a successful attack will be launched is the basis of a proactive approach to information-security and risk management,” she advises.
Driving Real Value From Facilities Management
It’s how you integrate work, workforce and workplace that will determine your position in the economy of the future. What you do, attracting and retaining those who do it and the environment in which it is best done are foundational pillars which now require converging attention. The workplace is undergoing significant change. Once a fixed location where the work of a company was churned out, todays workplace is distributed across physical and virtual environments.

Education that Works for Our Youth

The Energy Crisis
Can buying the right home make saving energy easier? Globally over the last two centuries, energy needs have skyrocketed dramatically. We know today that these resources are close to exhaustion and our societies are facing a major challenge: THE ENERGY CRISIS It’s been 12 years since South Africans first experienced load shedding and we know that as we go into winter energy consumption increases over the colder months.
Beach Hotel Sold
Between 1906 and 1909 the dunes were cleared on Durban’s beachfront and for many years the Beach Hotel (then known as Back Beach) was the only hotel on what is today Durban’s Golden Mile. In the 50’s the Back Beach made way for the hotel that many South African’s have come to love and where many fond memories were made. Reliance Auctions recently sold the Gooderson Beach Hotel, arguably one of the most iconic hotels in South Africa.

Our Cracks Reveal Gold
Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” This is a quote that resonates deeply with Maredi Technologies as a company because it speaks volumes to why we are still here and why we will continue to remain ahead of the pack. We live in a business culture and environment that primarily celebrates and applauds winners and number ones. We are reminded constantly that no one ever remembers number two.
‘Emotional clutter’ - rubble that hinders an intentional life
Our health is affected by our psycho-social well-being. This is not news. When we become self-aware and mindful, we may be able to recognise how ‘emotional clutter’ could prevent us from having healthy lifestyles of intention and simplicity. In a world that is hectic, busy and hurried, simplicity is not. (In) a society that is rushing to gain more, satisfaction with less may be regarded as counter-cultural.
The Energy Crisis
Globally over the last two centuries, energy needs have skyrocketed dramatically. We know today that these resources are close to exhaustion and our societies are facing a major challenge: THE ENERGY CRISIS It’s been 12 years since South Africans first experienced load shedding and we know that as we go into winter energy consumption increases over the colder months. South Africa is blessed not to have long, extreme winters but we need to be mindful, none the less.
Independent Review or Audit?
In 2008, the Companies Act was revised, removing the requirement for certain companies to be audited. The Act now provides for two types of reviews on financial information, an independent review and an audit. The review the business decides on will depend on where the business falls in the threshold specified in the Act. The threshold is known as the Public Interest Score (PIS). The PIS is calculated as follows: 1 point for every employee. 1 point for every million Rand owed to a third party.
Are There Responsive and Responsible Leaders Out There
Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu once said, “Hope is being able to see that there is light despite of the darkness.” The world seems to be in need of such encouragement at the moment. Confusion abounds. Leaders seem to have lost the plot, and the map as well. We had a different feeling about the world a few years ago. Remember how, in September 2015, world leaders accepted 17 bold, sustainable development goals as a roadmap for the future of the world.
Innovation as Culture as Opposed to Innovation as a Technique or Function
Reflecting on the feedback and correspondence received after training sessions with manufacturers, I have come to realise that people are looking for tools and tricks to “fix” innovation. Sometimes it is actually not even about innovation, but about making up for poor past decisions such as not investing in technology or market development when they should have.
