Impulse tells you to leap at the opportunity of a big deal but that deal may be the nemesis of your business, explains Pavlo Phitidis, our resident Small Business expert and the Director of Aurik Business Incubator.

Government has, for a long time, suggested implementing card-style IDs which makes carrying around far easier. The Department of Home Affairs have announced their plan to roll-out new identity documents in South Africa.

Altech Card Solutions won the multimillion-rand tender to provide the technology for the smart ID card roll-out.

Willie Oosthuyzen, Chief Strategic and Chief Technology Officer for Altech was on-air to discuss the new and improved South African identity.
