Brand expert Dion Chang voiced these opinions last week at a Habari Group lecture in Johannesburg. Read more >>

At last... a marketing model that works!
[Paul Williams] My best childhood attempt at "advertising" involved piling up old magazines on my toy wagon and selling them to my parent's dinner party guests. It was relatively lucrative for a four-year-old, yet my parent's unexpected embarrassment at my entrepreneurial instincts scarred me for life... but what I established amongst the skewered gherkins and cocktail sausage rolls all those years ago is still one of the most successful advertising models I have found.

SABC, MWASA showdown over collective agreement
