Traditional medicine – lessons for tree conservation and livelihoods
We quite rightly talk about the importance of planting trees. We talk about their role in absorbing carbon, protecting biodiversity and supporting healthy landscapes.

At the point of sale, a consumer can tap or insert a card, open a banking app and make a PayShap transfer, scan a QR code, or split the purchase across three interest-free instalments using PayJustNow or Payfex.

In many South African mid-market businesses, the IT team is now expected to operate with the discipline of an enterprise technology function. However, it must do so without the depth of resources that larger organisations can bring to bear.
