For women navigating the demanding world of leadership, the saying “health is wealth” takes on a whole new meaning. Climbing the corporate ladder or running your own businesses, means women leaders often sacrifice self-care in the pursuit of success. Ironically, that success will be of no value to you if you cannot enjoy it due to ill health. Therefore, investing in your physical, mental, and emotional well-being is the key to living a successful and impactful life – where you matter as much (or even more) as your work or business. I have previously mentioned that my focus on my job and the “success” that went with it, literally brought me to my knees and the chronic health conditions I live with bear testament to that every day.

Consumers have been given a slight reprieve this month after the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (DMRE) announced a cut in the petrol price this past week. On Wednesday, the price of both grades of petrol dropped by R1.24 per litre while the cost of diesel fell by between R1.08 (50ppm) and R1.18 (500ppm).

The journey of boutique coffee company Infood Coffee Roastery began in 2012 as an offshoot of Infood Bakery and Deli, after then-barista Percy Chikwira’s interest in coffee was piqued by competing in competitions and making his own blends. Today, MD Chikwira and Infood CEO and owner Jayne Debra Davies see that their unique blends are not only supplied locally but have been growing on Pick n Pay’s shelves since their launch in 23 stores in February. “We started with a 2kg roaster in 2012 but as our volumes grew…

The Richards Bay-born actress is taking over the lead role of Sibongile (played by Luyanda Zwane in season 1) in the new season. Last month, Zwane confirmed that she had not renewed her contract.

During season 1, the telenovela saw an impressive average viewership of over two million, making it the most-watched show on Mzansi Wethu. In season 2, Mthiyane will continue to tell Sibongile’s story…
