VW to reveal updated Grand California camper at Caravan Salon
The latest version of the Grand California introduces several visual and functional upgrades aimed at improving on-board comfort. Available in two wheelbase options, the revised camper will enter series production in the second half of 2025.
Refreshed interior with yacht-inspired finishes
Inside, the Grand California gains a new 'Atami Bamboo' décor for the tabletop and kitchenette surfaces, complemented by updated PVC flooring that carries through the kitchen, dinette and load areas. A redesigned black kitchen tap contrasts with the lighter tones, lending a calm, lounge-like feel with hints of Mediterranean yacht design.
A new exterior table-mounting option allows the dining table to be quickly attached to the outside of the kitchen unit — ideal for meals or drinks outdoors. Storage has also been improved, with added luggage nets in the upper cabinets of the 600 (6m, transverse bed) and 680 (6.8m, longitudinal bed) variants.
Optional features now include a thermal mat and blackout system tailored for the front cabin windows.
New tech and driver assistance features
From July 2024 all Grand California models will come standard with the latest Crafter upgrades, including a digital instrument cluster and a free-standing infotainment screen (10.4" or 12.9" depending on spec).
Standard driver assistance features include Front Assist, Lane Assist, front and rear parking sensors and traffic sign recognition. Travel Assist — offering semi-autonomous steering and adaptive cruise control — is available as a cost option.
The manual handbrake has been replaced by an electronic parking brake operated via a dashboard switch, freeing space to swivel the driver's seat towards the living area.

Egypt signs $35bn natural gas deal with Israel's Leviathan
Israel's Leviathan natural gas field has signed a deal worth up to $35bn (R620.27bn) to supply gas to Egypt, the largest export deal in Israel's history, NewMed, one of the partners in the field, said on Thursday. Leviathan, off Israel's Mediterranean coast with reserves of some 600-billion cubic metres (bcm), will sell about 130 bcm of gas to Egypt through 2040 or until all of the contract quantities are fulfilled. The Leviathan reservoir began supplying Egypt shortly after production began in 2020. It signed an initial deal in 2019 for 60 bcm, which is expected to be fully supplied by the early 2030s. Leviathan has already supplied 23.5 bcm of gas to Egypt since 2020, NewMed said.

The corporate athlete 2.0: Maintaining our human edge in an AI world
In a market flooded with artificial intelligence, creativity is the one advantage that still belongs to people. Leaders who help their teams move, eat well, recover properly, and look after their minds can unlock that edge and keep their people valuable. What you need to know 41% of American workers fear AI could make their job duties obsolete (American Psychological Association) 38% of employees link that same fear to poorer mental health, according to the APA's 2023 data brief (EPALE—European Commission) 91% of South African employees already use AI at work, yet concerns about displacement persist (Oliver Wyman) One in four South African employees are clinically stressed, raising the stakes for any additional AI-related strain (SADAG) Imagine a project lead bouncing between video calls while her AI assistant spits out urgent edits and slide decks faster than she can review them. Her smartwatch vibrates: 'High stress, low sleep!' She skips lunch to polish the draft but wonders if her tweaks still matter. The worry is not just burnout; she fears becoming obsolete while trying to keep up. The birth of the corporate athlete playbook Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz coined the corporate-athlete model in Harvard Business Review in 2001, urging executives to manage energy like elite sportspeople. That loop of training, fuelling, and rest lifted performance for years, but now AI does the rote analysis and instant recall. A 2010 IBM global CEO study already confirmed the shift: creativity eclipsed all other leadership traits for future success (PR Newswire). How elite sport evolved and why it fuels creativity High-performance sport has moved from 'harder is better' to science-led precision. It just so happens that the same strategy also nurtures the biology of creative thinking: Smarter intensity distribution. Most training minutes are now low intensity, with all-out efforts saved for prepared days. Just fifteen minutes of brisk walking raises divergent-thinking scores (Frontiers). Precision fuelling. Athletes fine-tune carbohydrates, protein, and polyphenol-rich foods. Mediterranean-style eating supports cognitive flexibility, a key creativity skill (ScienceDirect). Planned recovery. Heart-rate-variability tracking guides daily load; higher resting HRV predicts stronger executive control and mental flexibility at work (ScienceDirect). Sleep and mental hygiene. Sleep deprivation slashes creativity, and the twilight stage between wake and sleep can double problem-solving insight (Creativity Research Journal, Frontiers). Being Mindful. Mindfulness practices, already routine in sport, enhance creative performance (Springer). Exercise alone is no longer enough. Sustainable creativity comes from movement, nutrition, recovery, and mental health, each monitored as rigorously as an Olympic training plan. A multidimensional creativity programme Movement —walking meetings, mobility breaks, short aerobic bursts that prime idea generation Nutrition —brain-friendly meals, healthy snack stipends, personalised coaching Recovery —wearables or self-reports flag low-recovery mornings so meetings can be lightened or shifted Mental fitness —confidential counselling, executive coaching, and mindfulness tools, before creativity-sapping crises hit Learning cadence —deep creative sprints in energy peaks, routine admin in dips Even small gains add up. Cutting one burnout-related absence day per employee in a 500-person firm saves about R1 million in salaries alone, before counting errors or the 'creativity opportunity cost.' Four AI-driven plays for the next corporate athlete AI-guided work–rest planning Models learn each person's rhythm from calendars, biometrics, and keystrokes, then place complex work in peak hours and admin in dips. Cognitive-load dashboards Privacy-safe heat maps combine meeting density, context switching, after-hours activity, and well-being signals to reveal red-zone times when decision quality drops. Burnout early-warning index Composite scores of sleep debt, workload spikes, negative sentiment, and weekend log-ins flag risk weeks before sick notes arrive. Digital-twin coaching An AI model builds a real-time replica of each employee by combining wearable data, calendar load, and recent work patterns. It runs quick what-if scenarios to recommend the best schedule. If recovery scores dip before a client pitch, the system nudges the meeting later and inserts a short outdoor walk to restore focus. Of course, implementing these technologies requires navigating a significant ethical minefield. The goal must be empowerment, not surveillance. Success is contingent on a foundation of absolute trust, requiring transparent data policies, employee opt-in, and clear boundaries that ensure wellness data is never used for performance evaluation. Without this psychological safety, the very tools designed to reduce stress could become a new source of it. Now, imagine that same project lead a few months into her company's new approach. Her AI assistant, once a relentless taskmaster, now acts as a strategic partner. It analyses her calendar and wearable data, then proactively blocks out two hours for 'deep work' because her recovery scores are high. Her smartwatch still vibrates, but the notification is no longer a warning; it's a suggestion. 'A 15-minute walk now could boost focus for your 2 p.m. pitch.' She isn't just polishing AI-generated slide decks anymore; she's using the quiet, protected time to question the data, find the narrative, and craft the one key idea the machine could never discover. Her value now lies in planning ahead rather than keeping up. The anxiety of becoming obsolete has been replaced by the quiet confidence of someone whose uniquely human skills are finally the focus of her day. Future-ready companies In a world where AI can replicate knowledge but not genuine novelty, creativity is one of our most durable human advantages. For South African firms especially, blending athlete-style recovery with AI precision is the key to beating stagnation. By building an operating system for wellbeing that shields focus, respects recovery, and nurtures imagination, future-ready companies will use technology to humanise work, ensuring their most valuable asset—human creativity—thrives to define the age of AI.
