    United States hits South Africa hard

    Only partially true: US importers will largely shift to suppliers that don’t have the tax, unless SA exporters can still undercut them. This means SA selling for less, and cutting costs. The only time it wouldn’t matter to SA exporters is if they have a ton of alternative buyers willing to pay...

    The South African paid over R227 million to manage a billionaire’s investment company

    Somewhat bizarre to sum up 13 years of earning in order to get an inflated number for the headline. His annual pay is hardly outrageous.

    How much money do you earn? And how do you spend it?

    Johannesburg is better than London for young professionals

    "TWAK"? That's true in most places. There's a reason why the cost of living is expensive: it's because nearly everyone wants to live there, especially professionals with money. For professionals, that's a huge advantage - career opportunities, social opportunities, travel, life experiences...
