We launch BizBuy

Bizcommunity.com has launched a new service that we reckon you will love - whether you're in business and need a particular product, and/or as an individual, want to get away from it all at a great price, or buy something - at an equally great price.

If either cap - or both - fit you, then take a look at our new online shopping portal, BizBuy.

By the way, we're also looking for partners who want to offer their products and services to a bigger market - for unbeatable prices. Businesses and companies that want to enrol as a BizBuy partner can email bizbuy@bizcommmunity.com for more information.

As we all know, we already have enough fraud and corruption in this country, so it's good news that the government is rolling out a new biometric card to boot out social grant fraud. Here's hoping it works - we think we'd all like to see our tax monies being spent properly and not stolen or wasted.

On the education & training front, two PHD candidates at UCT have focused their respective theses on factors that influence motivation, performance and decision-making, and performance expectancies and individual motivation that lead to discretionary effort within team members of professional networks.

Finally, something more for you petrol heads out there... According to our tame motoring editor Henrie Geyser, Lexus has produced a couple of new models that are ready to rumble the Germans, ja!

As Henrie puts it: "The latest styling is mean and muscular, particularly the new front with its spindle grille, gaping air intakes, chin-out bumper, deep-set headlamps and... Hmmm, must be like looking in a mirror for Henrie.
