The automotive sector supports over 110,000 jobs and contributes 5.2% to South Africa’s GDP.​
​
But recent data shows it’s falling short of expectations. That gap is starting to put pressure on growth, jobs and investment. This doesn’t just affect the sector. It shapes demand, planning and where opportunities sit.​
​
BDO South Africa’s automotive sector research report unpacks what’s changing and what it could mean for your business. Read the report: https://indd.adobe.com/view/eb02afac-6bdf-4f49-bbc3-795a7ec01ec0

Cyber risk is one of the things telecom businesses are dealing with, but it’s not the only one.​
​
BDO’s latest Telecommunications Risk Factor Survey looks at what telecom businesses are worried about right now and how those concerns have changed over time.​
​
A few years ago, the focus was more on regulation and tax. Today, the bigger risks include cyberthreats, supplier issues, competition and rising costs.​
​
The report outlines the key risks, how they have shifted over time and some of the ways telecom businesses are responding to them. Read the full report here: https://www.bdo.co.za/en-za/insights/2025/technology,-media-and-telecoms/telecommunications-risk-factor-survey-2025-26​

Studying accountancy is not easy, and I know that from personal experience. The late nights, demanding test weeks, and moments when motivation feels out of reach are all part of the journey.

While the workload can feel overwhelming, those challenging moments often create the greatest opportunities for growth. Every hour you invest, every obstacle you overcome, and every commitment you make to your future is building the resilience and discipline that will serve you throughout your career.

Most importantly, remember to celebrate the small wins. Whether it's completing an assignment, passing a test, or simply making it through a demanding week, every step forward matters.
Keep believing in yourself and trust the process. Your hard work will pay off.

Seventy years after more than 20,000 women marched to the Union Buildings, Chief Brand Officer Lynn Stevens writes about what she carries from that history as a Black woman in corporate South Africa. Her piece moves between activism, spirituality and leadership, and argues that resilience alone isn't enough: real change means challenging the structures that demand so much endurance in the first place.

Chief People Officer Jenny Gonsalves once had a career move she was excited about described by a mentor as a "backwards step", trading a structured path toward Audit Partner for a role in HR. Her piece is about redefining success on her own terms, leading through an unhealthy leadership experience that taught her the kind of leader she didn't want to be, and why she believes belief backed by opportunity is the greatest gift a leader can give.

Financial Services Partner Terri Weston has had the same sponsor and mentor for 18 years, Lance, who she says consistently backed her and pushed her further than she'd have pushed herself. Her piece also covers being told she came across as "aggressive" for holding firm on an ethical position, and why she believes the right sponsor doesn't need to look like you.
