While factors such as being in an opportune location have provided the potential for growth, it requires strong leadership and vision for any company to reach the century mark.

We partner with governments, companies, and international organizations that are the key drivers behind the transition to make digital payments widely available by: 1. Advocating for the transition from cash to digital payments in a way that advances financial inclusion and promotes responsible digital finance. 2.

Timeless and enduring, This report offers insight into the art and science of payments. payments serve the same ends today as they did thousands of years We’ll start with science by offering a high-level data analysis of the ago. Our methods of recording and exchanging value evolve with ways we pay globally, both online and at the point of sale. We’ll then technology: from livestock to gold coins, paper money to digital turn to the art of payments: the opportunities posed by China’s growth; wallets.

  • Being Indian, Being Mk: an Exploration of the Experiences and Ethnic Identities of Indian South African Umkhonto We Sizwe Members
    BEING INDIAN, BEING MK: AN EXPLORATION OF THE EXPERIENCES AND ETHNIC IDENTITIES OF INDIAN SOUTH AFRICAN UMKHONTO WE SIZWE MEMBERS A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MASTERS IN POLITICAL STUDIES Of RHODES UNIVERSITY SUPERVISOR: DR SALLY MATTHEWS By Varsha Lalla February 2011 DEDICATED TO My mother Dr Rashiela Ramchandra and my late grandmother Soorijdayi Ramchandra ABSTRACT Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK) was a military organization dominated by black Africans. Although it is not generally associated with Indian South Africans, who form a minority in the country, there were Indian MK members. This thesis explores the way in which Indian MK members reconciled aspects of their ethnic identity with their membership of MK. It explores the experiences of two generations of members: those born between 1929 and 1944 and those born between 1960 and 1969. In particular it looks at whether they experienced tensions between their ethnic and political identities. It explores what set these Indian South Africans apart from the rest of the Indian South African community that did not join MK. It also looks at what significant differences there were between different generations of Indian MK members. The research results show that the first generation MK members believe that their MK activities were „the highest form of passive resistance‟. An explanation for this way of referring to their activities could be that this was a way of reconciling tensions between their ethnic and political identities. The first generation was also very critical of the Indian SA community. This could be because they still feel part of this community despite having a strong political consciousness that is different from most of the community.

Fishkin combines both government and private sector experience within his practice, which focuses on mergers and acquisitions covering a wide range of industries, including supermarket chains and other retailers, consumer and food product manufacturers, internet- based firms, chemical and industrial gas firms, and healthcare firms. He has been a key participant in several of the most significant litigated antitrust cases in the last two decades that have set important precedents, including representing Whole Foods Market, Inc. in FTC v. Whole Foods Market, Inc. and the Federal Trade Commission in FTC v. Staples, Inc. and FTC v. H.J. Heinz Co. Mr. Fishkin has also played key roles in securing unconditional clearances for many high-profile mergers, including the merger of OfficeMax/Office Depot and Monster/HotJobs, and approval for other high-profile mergers after obtaining successful settlements, including the merger of Albertsons/Safeway. He also served as the court-appointed Divestiture Trustee on behalf of the Department of Justice in the Grupo Bimbo/Sara Lee bread merger. Mr. Fishkin has been recognized by Chambers USA, The Best Lawyers in America, The Legal 500 , and Benchmark Litigation for his antitrust work.
