Best festive wishes

Thank you for being part of Bizcommunity this year. We hope you will remain a part of our local, African and global business communities in 2016.

December is considered a quiet time for business news, nevertheless we will keep you updated with daily stories across our industries throughout the festive season. This is our last newsletter for 2015, our first editions for 2016 will be ready for delivery on Monday, 4 January.

Here's hoping you are surrounded by everything you hold dear and valuable this holiday season and may peace and goodwill be upon you all.

Best festive wishes,
