Shopping just became a lifestyle experience: The next-generation store set to change how we shop
South African retail is entering a new era, with brick-and-mortar stores reinventing themselves to win back shoppers lured by the ease of online retail.
Leading the charge is Woolworths, which has unveiled its extensively renovated Tygervalley store in Cape Town, a next-generation space designed to make in-person shopping not just convenient, but an experience worth leaving home for.
After months of anticipation, the store has officially reopened its doors, revealing a new full-line store format that integrates Food, Fashion, Beauty and Home under one roof.
This is the first of its kind in the country, and it's designed to tempt customers away from their screens and back into the mall.
Brian Mtongaana, Executive Creative Director at Woolworths, explained that the store's creative design is centred on 'human connection and super service'- a 'frame for living' philosophy that brings lifestyle, service and experience together in a single space.

Is buying a car with a balloon payment a debt trap?
A new shiny car is not in everybody's budget these days and car financers are trying to help them with balloon payments. It is so tempting. That lovely shiny car will cost so much less per month and by the time the balloon payment comes around, you can always trade it in and pay off the balloon payment. And buy another new shiny car with its own balloon payment. How could this be a debt trap? If you consider choosing a balloon payment when financing a new car, you are not alone. South African banks report that as many as a third of car loan customers choose the maximum balloon payment to reduce their monthly repayments. However, Ernest North, co-founder of car and home insurance platform Naked, says it is wise to consider the long-term impact before committing to a balloon payment for your new car. 'Balloon payments have become increasingly popular in South Africa due to the rising costs of living, including the higher costs of car purchases and ownership. However, many consumers go for a balloon payment without understanding that they could get caught in a debt trap four or five years down the line.' ALSO READ: Why balloon payments can become a burden – and how to manage them Lower monthly instalments – that balloon at the end of the term… North says although lowering your monthly repayments can help you to stretch your salary a bit further and potentially afford a better car, the lump sum at the end of the loan term is the sting in the tail. 'While a balloon payment can be a useful financial planning tool, many people find that they struggle to afford the final repayment.' A balloon payment is a large amount that you agree to repay at the end of your car finance term, usually between 20% and 35% of the car's value, with 40% being the maximum most banks would allow. During the term, you pay lower monthly instalments, but it is because you are not paying off the full loan, just a portion of it. North says this might feel like a win, but warns consumers to consider the total costs of buying a R500 000 car on a six-year loan (assuming no deposit and an interest rate of 10.5%): ALSO READ: Don't get caught! Look out for these balloon payment traps when buying a car What happens when the final car payment is due? When the balloon payment is due, your options will be to: Pay it off in cash and own the car outright. Refinance the outstanding balloon payment by entering a new loan agreement and face another few years of making monthly payments and interest charges. You will also have to qualify for financing to take this option. Extend the loan term. Some lenders might allow you to stretch out your repayment period further, although this could mean paying even more interest. Again, this is only possible if you are creditworthy. Sell or trade in your car, leaving you without an asset after forking out cash for months. But remember, you must still settle the balloon payment. ALSO READ: Need a new car? These are the payment options available to you Risks of choosing a balloon car payment North also reminds consumers about the risks of balloon payments. 'These numbers and options make the significant risks and costs of balloon payments clear.' He says the monthly benefit is actually very small compared to these future risk you take: Significant financial risk because you will either need to have cash to pay the balloon payment at the end or you will need to finance it. The bigger the balloon payment, the higher the interest you pay over the full term of the loan. After depreciation, your car might not be worth as much as the balloon payment at the end of the loan. You may never own a car outright if you get caught in a loop of refinancing via a balloon payment plan every five or six years. If you want to exit the loan early, you must be prepared for early settlement penalties and the outstanding balloon payment. Even worse, if your car is stolen or written off in an accident, you will be forced into an early settlement and will need to pay a massive shortfall. If you cannot afford the final payment, you could face consequences, such as repossession of the car under the National Credit Act. 'In theory, a balloon payment gives you the option to pay a large cash amount at the end of your finance term and then you can keep the car. But the reality is that most people do not have that kind of cash lying around and end up having to sell the car. 'And if the car's value is less than the outstanding balloon amount, it becomes a very serious problem, one that many people are unfortunately facing.' ALSO READ: Is it still worth buying a car? Are balloon car payments really a good thing? Do balloon payments then ever make sense? North says despite the costs and risks, there are some instances where balloon payments can be a helpful tool in your financial planning: You like to trade your car in for a new model every few years and are confident you can afford the balloon payment when it is due. You can realistically expect your income and savings to increase over the loan term. You want a reliable new car with a warranty, rather than risking potentially higher and unpredictable maintenance costs with an older one. You are paying for the car through a business and can claim tax deductions on depreciation, interest, fuel, maintenance and potentially the balloon payment to help with cash flow. You do not anticipate needing to exit the loan early and are committed to keeping the car for the full loan term. ALSO READ: The best way to finance your car If you do, choose the right kind of balloon payment Should you choose a balloon payment for your car, you will have to choose between guaranteed future value and traditional balloon payments. North says a Guaranteed Future Value (GFV) finance option could be a safer alternative. 'GFV agreements add a layer of financial security by guaranteeing the value of your car at the end of the finance term, regardless of how much it has depreciated. This guaranteed amount functions as your balloon payment (also known as the 'optional final payment') and is agreed upon upfront. 'When the finance term ends, you will have three choices: Make the final payment and keep the car, trade it in for a new car, or give the car back with nothing more to pay, even if its actual market value is lower than the GFV. This offers peace of mind and avoids the burden of being left with a car that is worth less than the lump sum you still owe.' North also warns against using balloon payments to buy a car you cannot actually afford in the long term. 'Rather put down a larger deposit or choose a more affordable car. Remember, a more expensive car will also have higher maintenance and insurance costs. While it can make sense in some circumstances, the downside of a balloon payment is very seldom worth the benefit.'

Hlabisa is a lesson on getting things done behind chaos
While the GNU continues to be chaotic, Cogta Minister Velenkosini Hlabisa has kept calm and done the unthinkable. The GNU presents a laugh a day. In the last month, Andrew Whitfield got axed, setting an awkward precedent for President Cyril Ramaphosa's defence chief. While bus drivers are taking their own lives, having not been paid since January, a dialogue is on the go that increasingly seems to be evolving into a monologue. Gayton McKenzie has been doing his thing, whatever that might be on the day, and team DA is patting themselves on the back for outsourcing state work to the banks. And we all applauded it, such is our disdain of home affairs. Oh, and the ministers appointed to fix load shedding were busted doing what we already knew they were doing; burning diesel as ferociously as Christians burned Beatles albums. Amid all the chaos and lack of time to consider which connected cadre should feast on which deal, some real good has been done; Transnet even seems to be on the rise, Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi's revelations are promising to unlock some gems and South Africa's economic kingpin, Thabo Mbeki, has finally found some guts to start saying some things. Amid the chaos, some things are improving The weather is perfect for sowing the seeds of ideas that may be great for the country and good for the fiscus, even if they aren't politically popular. In a country where a small minority are being squeezed for funding, it's difficult to make financially prudent decisions. But since that money isn't getting to the people it's supposed to, it makes it somewhat easier. Add to that the warring internal factions and it shouldn't be surprising that as the castle of patronage comes down, a couple of things can be improved with the resources. A minister who seemingly gets this and has largely kept a calm demeanor throughout the GNU is Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (Cogta) Velenkosini Hlabisa. During lockdown, we learned just how much power Cogta has and Hlabisa has been wielding it pretty impressively. ALSO READ: IFP reaffirms GNU role, slams NPA and urges reforms within justice system Halbisa takes on municipal functionality On natural disaster management, he's done the unthinkable in South African terms; enhancing the implementation of a 10-year-old framework. It shouldn't be impressive, but since we tend to have a kink of jumping from one policy to the next, doubling down and anchoring a belief in a policy's execution is quite a brave and functional thing. When last have you heard a minister insistent on implementing the plan of a predecessor and making it work? Hlabisa genuinely seems to want to do what's good for the people and when it comes to preventing them from dying, that's quite nice. I'm not sure if it's because nobody knows how to get in his way or whether it's just not profitable to impose themselves on him, the minister has been given some room to manoeuvre and it appears he knows this. It shouldn't be surprising that he's taken on what is probably going to be the most difficult reform of this administration; municipal functionality. Ten years ago, you wouldn't dream of anybody in Jacob Zuma's cabinet thinking of claiming that the national government is bloated, let alone municipalities. ALSO READ: Cogta warns municipalities against wasting R1.2 billion disaster relief Now, the minister is having a right go at the state of municipal affairs and fairly so. It's not like John Steenhuisen is going to criticise anybody's literacy because it will come off poorly, but the way Hlabisa puts it makes it pragmatic in the eyes of the public. 'You can't monitor billions if you can't read,' he said. Why on earth we're even in a position where he's got to say that is beyond me, but thank goodness somebody has finally said it. What's most exciting about this shake up is that it's clearly a long term investment and he's set milestones allowing him to take his time on the matter. It shows a degree of seriousness rather than politricking and perhaps we don't see the results in his lifetime. It feels so good to hear a minister commit themselves to a long term solution to an issue that nobody has really tried to address in 30 years. There's a saying about great men planting trees and I really hope this one grows. We could do with the shade. READ NEXT: Almost 40 municipalities facing sanctions from Treasury over mismanagement

Effective empowerment of women will boost the economy
Refilwe Lesufi Image: Supplied As Women's Month continues to be commemorated in South Africa with colourful banners and applause, it is worth noting that for many women and girls, the struggle for equal opportunity is a daily lived experience. Efforts to empower women and girls in South Africa have not resulted in an impactful shift in addressing historical disparities. The labour market continues to favour men and shows minimal signs of making real progress towards improving prospects for women. Stats SA's latest Quarterly Labour Force Survey for the second quarter of 2025 reveals ongoing disparities in the labour market. A media statement by Stats SA notes that the unemployment rate for women in this period was 35,9% compared with 31,0% for men, a gap of 4,9 percentage points. 'These differences reflect persistent gender imbalances in unemployment, labour force participation and the sectors in which men and women are employed.' Video Player is loading.

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ Ad loading Education is also not closing the gap in unemployment for South African women, according to the Stats SA statement, and gender disparities in the labour market remain entrenched across all levels of educational attainment. 'In the second quarter of 2025, the official unemployment rate for graduates stood at 12,2%, marking a 0,5 percentage point increase from the previous quarter. … a closer look reveals a persistent gender gap among the most educated. Female graduates faced an unemployment rate of 15%, compared to 8,9% for their male counterparts, a difference of 6,1 percentage points.' A gender-focused approach is needed to deliver employment opportunities that are inclusive and responsive to challenges faced by women. In South Africa, a large share of the country's scarce skills lies within Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM ) fields. According to the Reginsights article, ''The Most In-Demand Skills in South Africa 2025,' skills such as ICT specialists, engineering professionals, healthcare workers, renewable energy experts, technicians, education specialists, agricultural scientists, finance specialists, and logistics professionals are all in short supply. As we celebrate National Science Week, let us remember that the future of STEM in South Africa lies in the hands of our youth. Image: Supplied STEM as a strategic driver offers a powerful, gender-focused pathway to creating inclusive employment opportunities, especially for women in rural areas, informal settlements and townships, while directly addressing the unique barriers they face. PROTEC is an independent NPO that provides education support in STEM gateway subjects – Mathematics, Technology and Science – as well as English and World of Work life skills training. In partnership with our funders, we have consistently committed to advancing the gender equality and redress agenda. More than 63% of our total beneficiaries are female, and we are seeing a growing number of young women pursuing careers in engineering, science, and other STEM fields that were once male-dominated. In 2024, ten of PROTEC's top twelve matric beneficiaries were female. Why is a focus on women so important? An article by the Stellenbosch University Business School in December 2024, titled 'Equal pay for equal work: How does South Africa measure up?' reveals that, 'In South Africa, around 38% of households are headed by women. Female-headed households are approximately 40% poorer than those headed by men. Also, 48% of female-headed households support extended family members compared to only 23% of male-headed households.' Women bear a disproportionate burden in caring for children, earn less than men, are more vulnerable to domestic violence, and face greater challenges in accessing resources to improve their lives — illustrating how power dynamics continue to favour men.
