Johannesburg: As the year draws to a close and owners take stock of their marketing, a free and well-organised resource for understanding search engine optimisation is now available. On his website, Josh Maraney, who founded Top Click Media, has published 788 short videos, and SEO is the biggest subject in the collection at 181 shorts, sorted by topic and searchable by keyword. Access is free and needs no signup. Across South Africa, October is planning season. Owners draft budgets, revisit agency contracts and question whether their website is pulling its weight. SEO is often the piece of the marketing mix they feel least sure about. This library lets them close that gap gradually, with one brief video at a time. Inside the SEO collection In total, the 788 shorts fall into 72 topics. The three biggest SEO topics are Technical SEO (28 shorts), SEO Myths (26) and Keyword Research (25). Next come SEO strategy with 18, Backlinks with 17, Choosing an SEO Agency and Content and Blogging with 12 each, SEO Results and Case Studies with 11, On-Site SEO with 8 and SEO Basics Explained with 7. Smaller clusters look at black hat tactics, duplicate content, page titles, meta descriptions, topical authority, digital PR and how organic search differs from paid search. Every title is aimed at a real-world problem. On the technical side, viewers can learn what the "Crawled, currently not indexed" status in Google Search Console means, how one WordPress setting can block Google from indexing a whole site, and how to undo a noindex added by mistake. The keyword research shorts walk through the four kinds of search intent and explain why search volume deserves a check before any budget is committed. Meanwhile, the myths series tackles popular misconceptions: that an SEO plugin does the SEO for you, that blogging on its own guarantees results, or that paying an SEO provider proves the work is actually happening. Kept brief on purpose All of the videos use the vertical short …
Damaged Cars Wanted Buys Hail-Damaged Cars as Gauteng Storm Season Starts
JOHANNESBURG, October 2026. A car that has been battered by hail or written off by an insurer is not worthless, and Damaged Cars Wanted wants Gauteng motorists to know it. The vehicle buying service is run by Lou Appel's Auto Spares from its yard on Booysens Road in Selby. With the Highveld summer storm season starting, it is asking owners of hail-damaged, accident-damaged and non-running vehicles to request a same-day offer rather than let the car stand idle and lose value. Spring is when Gauteng gets its first heavy afternoon thunderstorms, and hail often comes with them. One storm is enough to dent a roof and bonnet, crack the glass and damage the trim. Some owners face only a simple repair. Others find that their insurer has decided the car is not worth fixing. That leaves them with a salvage offer that seems too low and a vehicle they no longer trust to drive. When an insurer declares a write-off Damaged Cars Wanted buys hail-damaged vehicles straight from their owners. If an insurer plans to write a car off and its salvage offer is weak, the business will pay the owner directly. It takes cars the insurer has classified as Code 2, Code 3 or Code 4, and its own guidance confirms that Code 3 and Code 4 vehicles can be sold provided the paperwork matches the car. For motorists who want to sell damaged cars without delay, the attraction is a direct path from a damaged vehicle to money in the bank. There are no months of repair quotes and no private buyers asking what still works. A few photos are enough for the team to assess the car, and it then makes a same-day cash offer with no obligation to accept. More than storm damage Storm damage is this month's seasonal focus, but the business buys nearly any make, model or year in nearly any condition. That covers accident-damaged cars with front, rear or side impacts, as well as rolled and smashed vehicles and non-runners. It also covers cars with seized engines, blown gearboxes, slipping clutches or failed …

RM Capital Maps the Purchase Order Funding Process for Year-End Orders
JOHANNESBURG, October 2026. South African suppliers holding a confirmed order but short of the cash to pay for the stock now have a step-by-step guide from RM Capital. The niche funder, based at Melrose Arch, has set out how a funded deal moves from the day the purchase order arrives to the day the goods reach the customer. The fourth quarter is under way and many buyers want deliveries before the December slowdown, so the firm wants business owners to know how a funded deal works before they have to sign anything. This time of year, orders often get bigger than a supplier's bank balance. A distributor of finished goods might land a contract with a corporate client or a government department and still have to pay its own supplier before it can send an invoice. RM Capital was set up to close that gap. It believes owners hold back from outside funding mainly because they can't see how the process works, and that showing them each step removes most of that worry. How purchase order funding works Purchase Order Funding lets a business pay its supplier for goods it plans to resell or distribute to a customer who has issued a written purchase order. RM Capital also calls this tender order funding. The supplier is paid up front to make or deliver the goods, and the business repays the funding when its own customer settles the account. RM Capital will fund up to 100% of the purchase order costs. Most of these deals are structured as invoice factoring transactions, and factoring is not a loan. RM Capital buys the right to the payment the customer will make, then pays the supplier directly or issues payment guarantees. A growing company can therefore take on larger orders without bank debt and without giving up equity. From order to settlement The full sequence is published on RM Capital's website. This month the firm is pointing to it for businesses that already have year-end orders. The process starts when the business sends in a copy of the purchase order or a …

Breast Cancer Awareness Month: St. George’s University Advocates for Advancing a Risk-Informed and Equitable Approach to Breast Cancer Screening in Africa
Across Africa, breast cancer is the most diagnosed cancer among women and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths. According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer’s GLOBOCAN 2024 estimates, published in 2026, Africa recorded approximately 225,643 new breast cancer cases and an estimated 100,070 deaths in 2024. These figures underscore the importance of raising awareness, recognizing symptoms early, and improving access to timely diagnosis and treatment. The median age of diagnosis among African women with breast cancer varies across countries and populations. A 2025 study of women diagnosed with breast cancer across five sub-Saharan African countries found that 21.9% of participants were diagnosed before age 40. These findings underscore the importance of breast awareness, timely symptom evaluation, clinical examination, and individual risk assessment. The World Health Organization recommends early diagnosis and timely evaluation of women with breast cancer symptoms, while screening recommendations should consider individual risk and available resources. “Breast cancer risk does not suddenly begin at a particular birthday, and two women of the same age may have very different risk profiles,” said Dr. Tonia Frame, Assistant Professor and Director of the Global Health Unit in the Department of Public Health and Preventive Medicine at St. George’s University, Grenada, West Indies. “Women should be encouraged to become familiar with the usual appearance and feel of their breasts and to seek prompt clinical evaluation for unexplained breast changes. In Africa, where breast cancer often presents at a comparatively younger age, and access to high-quality imaging is uneven, discussions about early detection should extend beyond age alone. Family history, inherited susceptibility, previous breast findings and other recognized risk factors can help determine whether a woman may benefit from earlier assessment, specialist referral or additional …

From Resource Development to an Integrated Industrial Ecosystem Yite Group Is Forging a New Development Paradigm for Kaipeng Mining Through the Resilience of an Integrated Industrial Chain.
Against the backdrop of global energy transition, growing demand for critical minerals, and the restructuring of global industrial supply chains, the mining industry is evolving from resource development toward greater industrial integration and collaboration. With a deep-rooted presence in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Yite Group is advancing from simply developing resources to leveraging and managing them more effectively, and from building individual mines to developing an integrated industrial ecosystem. In 2026, with newly added mining resources and the successive commissioning of projects in photovoltaic power generation, roasting, sulfuric acid production, and other areas, Yite Group is steadily building an integrated industrial system covering resource extraction, ore processing and smelting, green energy, and the supply of auxiliary materials and essential inputs. I. From Resource Development to Industrial Synergy Yite is a company with long-term competitiveness, supported not only by stable resource reserves, but also by strong capabilities in resource development, processing, energy supply, and industrial synergy.

Acepak Showcases Pouch Fillers for Liquid and Food Producers
This October, Acepak is turning attention to its pouch filling machines. The family-owned Cape Town company builds end-of-line packaging machines and turnkey systems, and every pouch filler it sells is designed, engineered, assembled and tested at its South African head office. The timing suits producers in food, beverage, dairy and personal care, many of whom are now reviewing their lines before the busy summer trading season, with stand-up and spouted pouches still high on plenty of planning lists. Acepak brings more than 40 years of experience to the table and supports customers in over 36 countries, stretching from South Africa to the United Kingdom. Pouch fillers are only one part of its catalogue, which also covers case packers, shrink wrappers, banding machines, palletising systems and line integration. That breadth lets producers treat pouch filling as a stage in a full end-of-line setup instead of a one-off equipment buy. A pouch filler for every scale The current range includes three pouch filling systems, each matched to a particular size and style of operation. For large outputs there is the Automatic High Volume Pouch Filler, sometimes called the Blank Pouch Filling System. This fully automated machine fills and seals blank stand-up pouches whose tops are still open, including pouches with side-mounted spouts. It is aimed at higher-volume producers who want filling and sealing combined in a single automated process. Next is the Center Fitment Pouch Filler, designed for efficient, precise filling. Pouches feed automatically from a magazine rail into a rotary turret, so it works well for products in spouted pouches with a central fitment and for operations that depend on consistent, repeatable fills. The third system is the Manual Spout Pouch Filler, a manual unit for filling and sealing. It packs product into pouches formed from centre-folded film, which is drawn off a roll already folded in half and fed through a splitter loading …

The Gold Avenue Flags the 91.67% Krugerrand Seller Mistake
Before a Krugerrand ever reaches a buyer's counter, many South African sellers have already shortchanged themselves on paper, and The Gold Avenue wants that to stop. The Illovo company, which buys gold, diamonds, luxury watches and Krugerrands, is using October to highlight a common miscalculation. A large number of Krugerrand holders estimate their coin's value by taking 91.67 percent of the gold price, reasoning that the coin is 22 carat gold. The logic seems sound, but it is mistaken, and it leaves the seller expecting about 8 percent less than the gold in a full ounce Krugerrand is really worth. The season makes this especially relevant. Spring has arrived in Gauteng, and in The Gold Avenue's experience selling follows a seasonal rhythm, with summer reliably busier than winter. As more people consider cashing in Krugerrands they bought long ago or inherited from relatives, the company would like them to walk in with an accurate starting figure, not one they have mistakenly lowered at the kitchen table. The source of the error Krugerrands are struck from 22 carat gold, an alloy of 91.67 percent gold and 8.33 percent copper. Seeing that percentage, many sellers conclude that a one ounce coin must hold 91.67 percent of an ounce of gold, so they multiply the gold price by 0.9167. In fact the coin was built in reverse. A one ounce Krugerrand contains a full troy ounce of fine gold, with the copper added on top instead of being blended into a set weight. That explains why the coin weighs 33.930 grams gross, compared with the 31.103 grams of a troy ounce. Its owner does not have 91.67 percent of an ounce of gold. They have an entire ounce of gold together with a little copper. For a full ounce Krugerrand, then, the right multiplier is 1.0 rather than 0.9167. The smaller coins work the same way: a half ounce contains exactly half an ounce of fine gold, a quarter contains a quarter and a tenth contains a tenth. How 8 percent adds up A shortfall of around 8 …

H2O Guru Offers SANS1657 Bottled Water Testing for Summer
October is the month to get SANS1657 bottled water testing done, according to H2O Guru. The SANAS-accredited water testing laboratory works with clients throughout South Africa and is urging water bottlers, refill stations and businesses that sell purified water to book now. Spring is in full swing and summer is on its way, and that is when demand for bottled and purified water usually climbs. Producers who check their water quality ahead of the hotter months can keep supplying customers with confidence. South Africa treats bottled water as its own food product category. The Department of Health regulates and monitors it, and has set purity and safety standards for the water bottling industry. For anyone who bottles or sells drinking water, regular accredited testing is therefore a practical necessity rather than a nice-to-have. Inside the SANS1657 package The Bottled Water (Purified Water) SANS1657 package from H2O Guru covers chemistry and microbiology in one analysis. The work is done in the company's accredited laboratory, reference T0647. On the chemistry side, the panel measures EC, pH, SAR, the Langelier and Ryznar indices, turbidity, colour, TDS, fluoride, chloride, sulphate, nitrate, acidity, alkalinity and bicarbonate. Calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium and boron are included, along with a broad spread of metals and trace elements: manganese, iron, copper, zinc, barium, cadmium, chromium, lead, nickel, aluminium, antimony, arsenic, selenium, mercury and molybdenum. For microbiology, the laboratory checks for faecal coliforms, total coliforms, heterotrophic plate count (HPC) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Taken together, the results show a bottler plainly whether the product meets the parameters in the South African National Standard for bottled water. The cost is R3 150 including VAT, and payment is due before results are released. Results and analysis are currently taking about ten to twelve working days. Putting results to work on the …
