BusinessTech editor Gareth Vorster said: \u201cWe have continued to carry our solid numbers from 2015 into the New Year, which bodes well.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith South African consumers beginning to feel the squeeze, it has created a thirst for quality business and finance related news as South Africans look to ride out what will be a difficult 2016.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat is particularly pleasing is that 72% of our traffic comes from mobile devices. Developments in mobile technology have enabled more South Africans to come online to engage and be a part of the discussion,\u201d Vorster said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
