Is a cashless society on the horizon for South Africa? If so, the practical implications for us all will be enormous. And as always we should prepare ourselves for it on the “forewarned is forearmed” principle.
We’ll discuss how some countries are already pioneering the way towards a society without cash, the pros and cons of the concept, and the arguments for and against the proposition that cash, like the cheque before it, might already be firmly on the slippery slope to extinction. We’ll end off investigating the various reasons why despite everything, cash remains – at least for the moment - ubiquitous.

Every day, it seems, we learn of yet another hack exposing our passwords and other private information to cyber criminals.
Sometimes the hacks are international, sometimes local. But every time it happens, vast amounts of sensitive data end up in the wrong hands and we all of us need to take responsibility for reacting immediately and effectively to protect ourselves.
The first step of course is to find out “Has my information been compromised, and if so what?” We’ll show you how to check that online - quickly, easily and at absolutely no cost. The important thing is to do it NOW!
