Tanzania Wants Large Miners to Refine, Trade 20% of Gold Locally
Tanzania plans to make it compulsory for large-scale miners to refine and trade at least 20% of their gold output domestically as the East African nation seeks to benefit from a rally in the bullion price and control a larger share of its resources.
Miners that will likely be affected by the move include Barrick Gold Corp., the world's second largest gold producer, and AngloGold Ashanti Plc.

Shop My Baby Registry With Nestig CMO Sara Adam Slywka
Sara Adam Slywka started building her baby registry before she was even pregnant. That might not sound so uncommon for those who dream of welcoming little ones one day—except Slywka actually designed the products she wanted to see on her future registry by creating an entire nursery company: Nestig, makers of one of the most viral and beloved cribs. She met Gui Picciotto, her Nestig cofounder and partner, while earning her MBA at Columbia, but says she first caught the entrepreneurial spirit when she partnered with a former high school friend to run a small ethically sourced clothing line. Raised by two doctors, Slywka spent part of high school in east Africa where her mother worked for a time where she met her clothing line partner. Later, she worked in marketing at Amazon in the mega retailer's baby business thus igniting another spark that would lead to the birth of Nestig. At the same time, her brother was expecting a baby and sharing that they were frustrated by finding nursery pieces that fit with their design style. 'I felt like there was an opportunity to create more products that were both functional for everyday use, but really elevated from a visual and design perspective,' Slywka told me. 'And I also thought there was a big opportunity for a brand that celebrated the joy of getting ready to bring a new baby home.' Picciotto and Slywka founded the direct-to-consumer nursery company Nestig five years ago in the heart of the global pandemic (August 2020) with the really thoughtful and beautiful convertible Wave crib, and it's grown from there into offering nearly everything a design-minded couple might need to outfit their nursery, including additional cribs, bedding, dressers, toy storage, rugs and wallpaper. Next up for Nestig is expanding the assortment of furniture into older kids and teens. 'Our overall goal as a company is to be the most delightful place to shop for children's furniture,' she said. And now that she is an experienced mom and a favored nursery brand, I wondered what her baby registry must-haves might be in 2025. Find Slywka's picks below, including her very favorite Nestig creations. 'Living in a New York City apartment, I gravitate toward items that can convert and adapt as babies grow, so I buy—and store—things I can keep around longer. This works for bathing an infant in the sink with a mesh sling, then transitioning to an infant setting for the sink or tub, followed by a seat insert as babies start to want to sit up in the bath, and finally a toddler tub.' 'I'm biased, but the Cloud Crib made so much about being a new parent more manageable when my son was born. It's beautiful, but it's also a 3-in-1, so it started as a mini crib on wheels that could go from our room at night to his room for naps—and I could bring it into the living room if I wanted to keep an eye on him or have him be part of family time, while also making sure he was safe with lots of people around. I also loved having the mobile attached to the mini crib—it felt almost like a whole nursery on wheels! He is 2 now and still uses it converted to the full crib. I feel prepared knowing I already have everything I need to make the switch to a toddler bed once he figures out he can escape the crib.' 'My son spent his first few days in the NICU, and the doctors recommended this ready-to-serve formula. I continued using it as we transitioned home and loved that it was straightforward for anyone to feed him at any hour, anywhere, during those early newborn days. Everyone has their own feeding journey, but knowing that our formula was easy to find wherever we were gave me a lot of peace of mind.' 'I liked using these Philips Avent bottles as he got a little older. They control the pace of the milk and only release milk when he's actively drinking, allowing him to pause. They're also surprisingly easy to clean, with fewer parts than many other bottles.' 'The minute I saw the design for our Daydream wallpaper, I knew it would be the one for my son's nursery. This design is everything I love about our visual world at Nestig. The print is beautiful and botanical, with little paper planes and kites peppered throughout. The design feels completely timeless but with playful and unexpected details. At Nestig, we've found that wallpaper and murals are worth the investment, as they add so much life to a small space.' 'It's more than a camera, but I do love watching my son sleep in his Cloud Crib, and the Nanit monitor video is crystal clear. Tracking his stats, like when he went to bed and woke up, and how long it took him to fall asleep, made spotting trends easier without losing sleep. I can soothe him from another room if he's fussy without restarting the bedtime routine. Lately, when he wakes up, he talks to himself and plays in his crib, which I love to tune into.' 'The BabyBjörn was essential for us. From very early on, the bouncing soothed him when he was fussy, and it was one of his favorite places to be. Before we got the bouncer, I was struggling with things like getting myself a glass of water, and having a place to soothe him, made life much easier.' 'This is another essential my son is still using every day, two years later, and likely will still be using for a while. It starts with an infant seat that pulls right up to the table from day one. We started using it when he could sit up on his own with the five-point harness for those first solids. Now he uses it almost like a booster seat at the dinner table.' 'Is it pricey? Yes. Was the cost per wear worth it? Also yes. I started with another carrier I could never quite get on without help, but upgrading to the Artipoppe felt worth it when I felt more like myself.'

Like father, like spender. What's your financial DNA?
Father's Day brings mixed emotions across South Africa. While some celebrate the men who taught them to ride bikes and told terrible jokes, for many—the day highlights a different reality. With a significant percentage of households lacking present fathers or traditional father figures, the concept of paternal influence takes on broader, more complex meanings. Yet financial DNA—those money habits and attitudes we absorb growing up—comes from somewhere. Whether from a present father, a grandfather, an uncle, an older sibling, a mother playing dual roles, or another guardian figure, our financial behaviours are shaped by those who raised us. This Father's Day, let's reflect on these influences, regardless of their source, and consider how they continue to shape our financial lives. The money habits we inherit without realising Think about it – how did the adults in your household approach money? Was there someone who meticulously saved? Someone who spent freely? Or perhaps there were conflicting money messages from different influential people in your life? Recent research suggests these patterns leave a deeper impression than we might think. According to a 2024 MoneySmart survey of 1,000 adults: • 78% of people who watched their caregivers save diligently now do the same themselves • 63% who grew up with impulsive shoppers have picked up identical habits • 59% raised by over-spenders continue to struggle with overspending 'We inherit far more from our role models than we might realise,' explains Lee Hancox, Head of Channel and Segment Marketing at Sanlam. 'Their attitudes towards money, their spending and saving patterns, and even the conversations they had – or didn't have – about finances at home all contribute to our own financial blueprint.' The most surprising part? Most of these habits form before we're even aware of them. The emotional money connection we don't talk about Money isn't just about numbers – it's deeply emotional. Think about how you feel when your bank account is comfortable versus when you're stretching to make ends meet. That emotional response has roots that likely go back to your childhood and the financial environment you grew up in. 'Whether we like it or not, we can all be emotional about money,' Hancox notes. 'If you grew up in a household where money was a constant source of stress, you might find yourself overly anxious about expenses, even when financially stable. Or you might swing the other way, spending impulsively as a reaction.' Quick reflection: Take a moment this season to consider: - How did money discussions feel in your childhood home? Tense? Non-existent? Matter-of-fact? - Who had the strongest influence on your money attitudes growing up? - When you make a large purchase now, do you feel guilt? Excitement? Anxiety? - How similar are these responses to what you observed in your household? Breaking the chain: Building your own financial legacy Understanding these patterns doesn't mean you're destined to repeat them. Recognising your inherited financial tendencies is actually the first step toward taking how you can start reshaping your financial DNA: 1. Decode Your Money Personality What kind of financial personality did you inherit? Are you a 'Prepared Protector' like someone who raised you, or did you develop a different approach and become a 'Spontaneous Buyer'? Sanlam's Money Personalities quiz can help you understand your money type. 2. Start Talking About Money If money was a taboo subject in your home growing up, you have the power to change that pattern for the next generation. 'We need to get better at talking to our children about finances from a young age,' Hancox advises. 'This openness isn't just about teaching – it's about building a healthy relationship with money.' Simple ways to start include explaining basic shopping decisions while at the shop, involving children in age-appropriate budget discussions, celebrating saving milestones together, being honest (in age-appropriate ways) about financial challenges Read more| How SA moms are revolutionising family finances 3. Create New Financial Habits Small, consistent actions build powerful new patterns. Start by establishing a budget that reflects your values, not just inherited habits. Set clear financial goals (both short-term and long-term). 4. Model What You Wish You'd Seen Remember that the children in your life are watching and learning from your financial behaviours – just as you did with the adults who raised you. 'Teaching good money habits is ongoing,' says Hancox. 'It takes patience, persistence, and repetition.' This season, as Father's Day approaches, take a moment to reflect on the financial influences in your life – whoever they came from. For those who had present fathers, this might mean acknowledging the direct impact they had. For those raised by single mothers, grandparents, or extended family, it means recognising the powerful financial lessons that came from these equally important relationships.

British Virgin Islands, Bolivia Placed on Watchdog's ‘Gray List'
By and Sergio Mendoza Save The British Virgin Islands and Bolivia were added to a global financial watchdog's 'gray list' for shortcomings in combating illicit flows, a move that may hamper investor confidence and heighten bank scrutiny. Tanzania, Mali and Croatia were removed from the same list, the Paris-based Financial Action Task Force said in a statement at the end of its joint plenary with the Council of Europe 's anti-money-laundering body Moneyval. Bloomberg News reported on the anticipated moves late last month.
