After transitioning from a senior corporate role to focus on her family, Geard observed that many highly skilled professionals, particularly mothers, were leaving the workplace due to limited flexible employment opportunities.

At the same time, businesses were seeking experienced talent but often did not require full-time roles.

What began as a focused recruitment solution has grown into a specialist business serving companies across South Africa and internationally.

2026/04/21 | 1 mins.
Die studente van die Noordwes-Universiteit (NWU) in Potchefstroom sê hulle het genoeg gehad van die slaggate in die studentedorp.

AfriForum Jeug se PUK-tak het ’n nuwe “Gatvol-veldtog” geloods om geraas te maak oor die slaggate rondom die kampus.

As deel van die aksie is ’n dringende brief aan die munisipale bestuurder van die JB Marks Plaaslike Munisipaliteit, Kgomotso Kumbe, gestuur.

Die brief versoek dat tien spesifieke hoërisiko-slaggate in die dorp binne die volgende 30 dae reggemaak word.

Om die munisipaliteit se aandag te trek, het studente op 16 April ’n protes gehou.

Studente het in van die grootste gate gaan staan en die woord “Gatvol” op hul agterstewe uitgespel.

This small South African town is up for auction
2026/04/20 | 2 mins.
Have you ever wanted to own a whole town? Well, a small South African village is going up for auction.

The entire village of Middelpos is heading to auction, giving one buyer the chance to own an authentic piece of the Karoo.

Located on the R354, halfway between Sutherland and Calvinia, the town is a well-known halfway stop for travellers heading to the Tankwa Karoo National Park.

According to Home & Hectare, the village is one of the last remaining places of its kind in South Africa.

"With its tranquil, enchanting atmosphere, original character and charm, it retains the cultural heritage of long ago, untouched by modern mass tourism," said Home & Hectare.

The property spans 103,260 hectares and is said to have great potential for business, residential development, manufacturing and tourism.
