NUGGET (13 OCTOBER 2021)

It’s not too early to talk about 2022. January the 26th 2022, you might be interested in the Free Virtual Digital Retail Africa 2022 Conference. I don’t have a link yet, but its worth pencilling in your diary for now.

Don’t have a 2022 diary yet? Get planning Future Thinker!

‘South Africa is the 12th biggest source of greenhouse gases in the World’ so say some reports. I say, prepare! It’s coming soon!

What?

The National Climate Change Bill and all sorts of laws and regulations that will allow government to roll out real climate-related measures and impose rules on people and business.

It is necessary.

South Africans litter all the time, I see it every week. It’s a sign of low self-respect.

Did you know the 18th of September was World Clean-up Day?

Apparently 180 countries and 20 million people were involved. I had no idea! It was by chance I learnt it from this site: https://www.worldcleanupday.nl/en/

Mr Goxx is making money and his lifetime career performance is reported to be up by around 20%, which is better than many professional traders. BTW, Mr Goxx is a hamster. An actual fluffy hamster. It is worth a quick Google. His trading office is most interesting. See image post.

TikTok says 1 billion people now use its App every month. I am not one of them, but my mom is.

In September, the South African judiciary system was compromised by cyber criminals. So many government and related institutions have been attacked successfully: Transnet, Eskom, SARS, IEC, to name just a few reported. Have you secured your company website yet?

The Financial Action Task Force and the Eastern and Southern Africa Anti-Money Laundering Group have published a serious report about major ‘issues’ with cryptocurrency regulations in South Africa, and now have 18 months to get things sorted out. See: http://www.treasury.gov.za/…/Mutual-Evaluation-Report…

Have you invested in any type of e-money yet? Made a loss or profit?

Google “Dr Patrick Soon-Shiong”. He is a billionaire doctor and scientist, born in Gqeberha South Africa, and appears to be set to help with some awsum tech-o-vation. Perhaps worth keeping a hopeful eye on.
