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.
