This is cute from Sun International but totally performative as it is designed to have zero impact on their online betting revenue while allowing them to pretend they care ..
Does this guy really need more money ?! He's already making millions pounding All Blacks in submission, why also kill our country ? Of course the @Springboks are also sponsored by a betting company ?!

we need to put pressure on the celebrities who take money for these campaigns .. Weekly @JustOneLap gets asked it we take gambling ads, ads that pay well. But no, we don't and won't. Yet here's our rugby players and others raking it in while killing our country ?!

Advertising doesn’t get much more aggressive than this. Even the small screen features a betting ad. Our airports are also blanketed in these ads. Tighter national regulations to curb this can’t come quickly enough. Enough already.

🎧 Why is Spur eating Famous Brands’s lunch? ° Danie Dörfling-Kruger from Moore Infinity unpacks Equites Property’s results as it largely exits the UK, PSG Financial Services navigating a tougher trading environment, and Famous Brands continuing to lag Spur. ° Frank Blackmore, from KPMG SA, explores the shifting investment landscape as investment rather than consumer spending emerges as a key growth driver. ° Plus, Simon looks at the positive feedback loop in the bond market as Treasury potentially reduces new bond issuance. moneyweb.co.za/moneyweb-podc…
