* Second – WhatsApp has doubled its cap on the number of people in its Groups. So we are able to now reopen the BizNews Premium Interactive Group – click here to join. Also, if you’re not in the other (non-interactive and thus quieter) Group where we share useful updates, including BBB as it is published, click here.
* Third – Today’s D-Day for BNC#4 bookers to pay their deposits. As some may well change their minds, previously allocated rooms in the on-site hotel are likely to open up. Take advantage – click here and fill in the form at the bottom of the page to secure your spot as availability won’t last long.
* Fourth – Our partners at AltVest Capital have a special offer for a maximum of four BN Premium subscribers participating in the private placing ahead of the Umganu Lodge listing. A R2m investment secures 7% of the equity and can include a directorship of the company if desired.
