We ended the year on a high! December was a productive month for our team and a great chance to connect in person. Our international colleagues joined us in Cape Town where we spent time collaborating and planning for the year ahead.

We also made space for a few challenges and some fun. We took part in the Titan OCR, hiked up Lion’s Head at sunrise and spent a relaxed afternoon into the evening together at Clay Café in Hout Bay.

A great way to round off the year and strengthen our team spirit. Can’t wait to see what 2026 brings for our team!

Last Friday evening, our Cape Town team and remote friends gathered for an AI innovation hackathon, testing tools, ideas and real-world applications through the night. We explored new ideas, tested smart tools, and examined new ways to address real-world challenges.

With plenty of food to keep the energy up, the evening was packed with creative thinking and practical problem-solving.

Thank you to everyone who took part. We’re looking forward to seeing how your ideas evolve!

Yesterday, our team stepped away from their desks and into a day focused on what matters most: health and wellbeing.

*Stretch and yoga

*Fitness challenges throughout the day

*Zumba and step

*And a well-earned prize-giving to wrap it up

Thanks to everyone who took part in the office or remotely, and those who made time for their wellness checks.

And congratulations to our Fitness Challenge champions:

*Earl Petersen

*Thembinkosi Petros Mhlungu

*Karmen Fabel

A big thank you to our HR team for arranging this event (Lee Watts, Crysanth V., Siddeeqah Salie.) We’re proud to support a culture where people can bring their whole selves to work — and take care of themselves along the way.
