🌙 Eid al-Adha Mubarak to all those celebrating today.

Today, we join millions around the world in recognising this special occasion — a time of reflection, generosity, gratitude, and togetherness.

Wishing our colleagues, clients, friends, and broader community a peaceful and blessed Eid filled with joy, love, and meaningful connection with family and loved ones. ✨

What a wonderful initiative — thank you TAG Foundation for sharing this. Well done Candice and Keegan from Omnicor for giving up their Sunday so generously, and to our Chairman & CEO Geoff Baars for making it possible.

Most money mistakes don't come from picking the wrong investment. They come from losing sight of why you're investing in the first place.

Our Executive Head of Financial Planning, Stian de Witt, CFP®, joined Relebogile Mabotja on Radio 702 to unpack the power of goal-based investing — and why knowing what you're saving for changes everything about how you save.

There’s a growing shift away from “quick fixes” in health — and towards something far more sustainable: daily habits that compound over time.

When it comes to immune health, the fundamentals haven’t changed:
• Balanced nutrition
• Gut health
• Sleep, movement, stress management

What’s often overlooked is how accessible this actually is.

We’re always looking for simple ways to add practical value for our clients.

This is one of those pieces we recently put together — and it was too useful not to share more widely.

👉 A short, practical guide with everyday actions you can actually stick to:

We all know we should “spend less time on our screens”… but it’s not that simple.

Join our upcoming webinar: Hooked: The Hidden Cost of Screen Time and Social Media

In this live webinar session, Dr Alicia Porter, psychiatrist and Board Member of the South African Society of Psychiatrists will move beyond surface-level advice to explore what’s really driving our screen habits, and what it’s doing to our brains, mood, focus, and relationships.

Join us as we unpack:
• Why we’re wired to stay hooked
• The real impact of screen time on everyday wellbeing
• Practical, realistic shifts you can actually stick to

This is not about cutting out screens — it’s about taking back control in a way that works in real life.

This International Workers’ Day, we recognise the dedication and resilience of workers everywhere.

Your contributions drive progress and shape the future of our communities and economies.

Today, we celebrate you.

This Freedom Day 🇿🇦

A day to celebrate our journey, our people, and the beautiful mix that makes up our rainbow nation.

Where one table can have pap, biryani, boerewors, chakalaka — and somehow, it all just works.

That’s who we are — different, diverse, and stronger together.
However you’re spending the day, we hope it’s filled with warmth, laughter, and something delicious.

Your salary is not a financial plan.
Financial literacy is what turns income into stability, confidence, and long-term security.

That’s why SmartAlec exists — a free financial literacy platform, open to anyone who wants to better understand money and make smarter financial decisions.

Financial Literacy Month is the perfect time to start.

Today is World Health Day.

This year’s theme, “Together for health. Stand with science,” is a reminder that better health outcomes don’t happen by chance — they happen through research, collaboration, and access to quality care.

Science improves lives in ways we sometimes don’t even see — through vaccines, treatments, early detection, and better healthcare systems.

Today, we recognise the people, the research, and the partnerships that make better health possible for all of us.

Whether you’re spending time with family, getting some fresh air, or simply taking a moment to slow down, we hope this long weekend gives you the space to rest and recharge.

From all of us at NMG, we wish you a peaceful and happy Easter.
