That's the view of Simon Leps, CEO of Fontera Digital Works. He says South African companies should spend more time on m-commerce. It's opportunity knocking for online retailers. You have a great idea, but lack the money to get it started. Well, Anton Ressel, associate consultant at ED and CSI specialist at agency Fetola, reckons there's no shortage of money, and asks: Why is accessing finance such a challenge for most SA businesses? For those in the property sector, or looking to make an investment in property, Zambia offers real estate investment opportunities, according to Inutu Zaloumis, MD of Pam Golding Properties Zambia. Finally, showing how it should be done, Veronica Shezi has won the 2012 GIBS MBA Business Plan Competition. In addition to the title, she was awarded a cash prize of R20 000 sponsored by GIBS and First National Bank Business Banking. Congratulations, Veronica - now turn that idea into a business.
