You know how nuts things have gotten, and you're not wrong - it's not just you, the landscape has shifted into a whole new playing field (and not in a good way). Small business life in South Africa? Totally different beast than it was even a few years ago. But few people are calling it out. So let’s get real and talk through how we survive this circus.

Let’s be honest, remote work isn’t just another pandemic buzzword. It’s also not just for big corporates with huge budgets, beanbag chairs, and free lattes. For small businesses in South Africa, it can be a downright game-changer.

So, buckle in as I show you why remote working for small businesses South Africa style works like magic when you trust people. And also why it might suck horribly if you don’t.

POPIA compliance in South Africa is one of those things most small businesses avoid thinking about. Until the spam complaints roll in. Or worse, someone threatens to report you to the Information Regulator because your email signup form didn’t have a checkbox.

Here’s the truth. The POPI Act compliance requirements aren’t actually that complicated. But the jargon makes it sound like only lawyers and IT people should care. You don’t need either. You just need a straight-talking guide and a few smart fixes.
