Last week's top headlines:In case you missed it...

  • Last week also saw the release of the ABC's Q3 2017 results. Danette Breitenbach provides analysis on their continued declining trend of the previous quarter.
  • Breitenbach also covered the Direct Marketing Association of South Africa's (DMASA) #Assegais2017 and got comment from the night's big winners on how a good idea still costs the same as a bad idea.

Here's to another successful week of learning and earning!
