Their extreme saving habits meant they were able to retire early & they put as much money as they could afford into investments.

The greatest learners aren’t the smartest, they’re the most humble.

They ask more questions, make more attempts, and aren’t afraid to look like beginners.

Ego slows you down.
Stay curious like a scientist.
Curiosity is what moves you forward.

Economic hardship is real. But does the evidence support the claim that migrants are to blame?

New research from Wits' Southern Centre for Inequality Studies explores the root causes of South Africa's economic challenges, highlighting how unemployment, declining public services and inequality fuel anti-migrant sentiment, while calling for evidence-based solutions instead of scapegoating.

[Scholarship for PhD @ScholarshipfPhd]

Most PhD programs train specialists.

The best ones train thinkers.

A PhD isn’t just about mastering a niche topic it’s about learning how to question assumptions, evaluate evidence, solve complex problems and communicate ideas across disciplines.

The researchers who make the biggest impact often think beyond their field.

The entry-level job pipeline is thinning globally—and the consequences of eliminating these types of roles in favor of AI are compounding.

Eliminate entry-level roles, and you reduce the headcount that justifies mid-level managers. Reduce mid-level managers, and you shrink the pool feeding director and VP pipelines. What looks like a staffing efficiency decision is actually a leadership supply decision whose full cost won’t appear for years.

The leaders who navigate this well don’t abandon their automation strategies; they build the talent infrastructure that those strategies require. Here are three critical ways to do it. https://t.co/6YobiefPwP

Markus Jooste had a ghost. His name was Malcolm King — British, Cotswolds-based, invisible by design. He moved R1.6bn through offshore structures for Steinhoff. He died poisoned by a woman young enough to be his granddaughter, whom he was paying for sex. No conviction. No sentencing.

South Africans must carefully review their SARS auto-assessments before accepting them, as missing income or deductions could result in tax problems or missed refunds.
