This is good news if you hold... ››› more
It's been yet another short week this week thanks to yesterday's public holiday. And although the numerous public holidays we've had have been welcomed by workers, they haven't good for businesses or the South African economy as a whole. According to some estimates, our economy lost billions of rand over the last few weeks. And it's starting to reflect in the news coming out of the stock market th... ››› more
