AI has no doubt taken over almost every aspect of our lives, and moving beyond being a tool that simply assists people.

Increasingly, AI systems are becoming capable of acting on behalf of individuals, researching products, comparing financial options, initiating transactions and managing routine financial tasks with permission.

What then does this mean for the future of banking.

To talk to us more on this, Thami Ngubeni spoke to Chipo Mushwana, Divisional Executive of Emerging Payments at Nedbank...

South Africa's hospitality industry is said to have hit its 2030 target for women in senior management four years early. But those in the industry say that it still has ground to make up at the top.

Women from designated groups now hold 47.3% of senior management roles, exceeding the 46.1% target, while top management sits at 36.2% against a 38.1% target.

To find out what contributed to this outcome, Thami Ngubeni spoke to  Alison McKie, General Manager of Radisson Collection Hotel, Waterfront Cape Town...
