In the next couple of weeks, Unisa's Personal Finance Research Unit will launch its study into the financial well-being of SA households, with the aim to answer the question: Are we income poor and asset rich? June's retail trade figures would suggest we're not in saving mode, however economists expect retail sales growth will slow during this next half of the year. As we head into the last part of Women's Month, two ladies have been recognised by Businesswomen's Association's as outstanding leaders in the business world. Congratulations to the BWA's businesswomen of the year, Philisiwe Buthelezi and Nondumiso Mzizana! Lastly, our marketing mothership is celebrating a decade of being the Biz this week - there's some fabulous prizes to be won, so check out the competition details and send us your wishes here: The Biz Bang Theory. Happy, happy 10th birthday Bizcommunity!
