Met verskeie Olimpiese Spele en ander internasionale sportbyeenkomste agter die blad, het Roger baie belangrike oomblikke in Suid-Afrikaanse sportgeskiedenis vasgevang.

Host: Paul McIntyre, Editor-At-Large Despite a multi-year boom, there’s an abundance of retail executive teams around the world disappointed with their retail media network initiatives - largely because of a misleading valuation method influencing what retailers think they can extract in advertising terms from their physical and digital store media assets. That’s one key finding in the first global report from Sonder on the owned media sector – that is, companies and brands with large customer bases which commercialise their publishing, retail and digital assets with suppliers, and increasingly advertisers beyond. Sonder estimates owned media has a commercial potential of $573 billion – the global advertising business (paid media) is forecast to hit 1 trillion by 2028 or sooner. But the bullish performance of retailers operating as media networks, partly fuelled by Amazon’s digital advertising romp, is masking some big challenges and a few open field revenue opportunities for some in commerce media, a derivative of retail media for telcos, airlines, financial services and others, says the Sonder 2026 Global Report on Owned Media. Andrew Lipsman is a former e-marketer analyst and currently a founding advisor and strategist at Colosseum, a specialist commerce and media advisory founded by the former president of Best Buy Ads, Media & CRM, Keith Ryan, in the US. Lipsman joins Sonder co-founders and report authors Jonathan Hopkins and Angus Frazer to unpack some wayward market developments slowly correcting and some new players shaking up the owned media model: ”There does seem to be a significant misconception here that e-commerce is way bigger than it actually is,” says Lipsman on one of the report’s findings that retail media networks and advertisers are locked on retailer digital assets - dwarfed in spending and customer volume by physical retail. Marketers are not following the money, say Lipsman and Sonder. Listen here for the full lowdown. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Der Rapper Gian Marco Schmid alias Gimma trifft bei Olivia Röllin in Chur auf die Architektin und Journalistin Anita Simeon Lutz. Gian Marco Schmid (45) besser bekannt als «Gimma», ist Rapper und Autor aus Haldenstein bei Chur. Er verteilt schon in der Sekundarschule auf dem Pausenhof seine ersten RapTapes, später prägt er mit düsteren und provokativen Mundarttexten über Drogen, Sex, Depressionen und Familienchaos die Schweizer HipHopSzene und steuert mit «Hymna» sogar den Nati-Song zur WM 2006 bei. Seine Biografie: Hirntumor mit zwölf, Hörverlust auf einem Ohr, früher Drogenkonsum, eine alkoholkranke Mutter und ein Jahr im Kloster, bevor er eine KVLehre bei Calanda Bräu abschliesst. Offen spricht er über seine Psychotherapien und sagt trotz allem, er habe eine gute Kindheit gehabt. Letztes Jahr schrieb er ein Buch über das Leben mit einer süchtigen Mutter, das er innert acht Tagen nach deren Tod verfasste. Aktuell arbeitet er an einem neuen Album, in dem er seinen bisherigen Werde- und Wendegang verarbeitet. ________________________________________ Anita Simeon Lutz (54) ist Architektin und Journalistin. In Lenz aufgewachsen, als jüngste von fünf Kindern, ging sie jeden Sonntag in die Kirche und genoss es, dort vor versammelter Gemeinde aus den biblischen Texten vorzulesen, denn das Amt der Ministrantin wurde ihr als Mädchen verwehrt. Bald keimt der Berufswunsch Nonne in ihr auf. Schliesslich wird ihr das 400-Seelendorf aber zu eng, sie wechselt an die Kantonsschule Chur, schlägt ab und an über die Stränge und entscheidet sich für ein Architekturstudium in Zürich. Schon früh entwickelt sie eine Leidenschaft dafür, Architektur verständlich zu erzählen. 2012 wird sie Chefredakteurin des Wohnmagazins «Das ideale Heim» und gründet eine Familie. Als ihr Mann an Krebs erkrankt und schliesslich stirbt, stürzt sie sich in die Arbeit - eine Zeit, die sie bis heute verdaut. 2022 gründete sie die Zurich Design Weeks. Heute ist sie Chefredaktorin der Verbandszeitschrift «Schweizer Samariter». Zudem ist sie als Expertin in der RTRArchitekturserie «Portas Avertas» zu sehen. ________________________________________ Moderation: Olivia Röllin ________________________________________ Das ist «Persönlich»: Jede Woche reden Menschen über ihr Leben, sprechen über ihre Wünsche, Interessen, Ansichten und Meinungen. «Persönlich» ist kein heisser Stuhl und auch keine Informationssendung, sondern ein Gespräch zur Person und über ihr Leben. Die Gäste werden eingeladen, da sie aufgrund ihrer Lebenserfahrungen etwas zu sagen haben, das über den Tag hinaus Gültigkeit hat.

Kasa has acquired Mint House at a moment when much of the urban apart-hotel sector has collapsed. In this GMH special, Wil Slickers sits down with Kasa Founder and CEO Roman Pedan to break down how the deal came together, why Mint House chose Kasa, and what this acquisition signals about the future of urban short-term rentals and apart-hotels. With Sonder now gone and capital having pulled back from the category, Roman explains how Kasa survived the shakeout, what it did differently, and whether consolidation is just getting started.

Op daardie stadium was 31,6 miljoen van die 40,8 miljoen mense wat met MIV leef, op lewensreddende behandeling. MIV-voorkomings- en behandelingsdienste, en die fokus op die maatskaplike hindernisse wat mense 'n verhoogde risiko vir MIV plaas, het gelei tot 'n afname van 40 persent in die aantal nuwe infeksies en 'n afname van 54 persent in die aantal Vigs-verwante sterftes tussen 2010 en 2024.

Die minister van Internasionale Betrekkinge en Samewerking, Ronald Lamola, sê die G20-leiersberaad sal selfs in Amerika se afwesigheid ʼn verklaring aanvaar. Hy het gister deelgeneem aan die eerste Bloomberg Africa-sakeberaad in Johannesburg. Amerika boikot die beraad blykbaar oor die vermeende volksmoord op wit Afrikaner-boere in Suid-Afrika. Lamola erken dit gaan nie maklik wees om die beraad se verklaring te aanvaar sonder die wêreld se rykste land nie:

St. Jude’s Hospital in Fullerton had to partially evacuate after a bomb threat, and guests were left stranded when the hotel chain Sonder abruptly shut down one of its properties. Target is rolling out its “10-4” holiday strategy, and Conway floated the idea that he might—might—become an Anaheim Ducks fan. Dean Sharp, The House Whisperer, joined us to talk about the incoming rain and what homeowners can actually do during a storm—mainly buckets, tarps, and sandbags—and what the right steps are after the weather clears to fix roof leaks, drainage issues, and water intrusion the proper way. The Conway Show “flipped” as Aldik Home set up their annual Christmas tree spectacular, and Dean & Conway chatted with Brian Gold and Rosie about holiday décor, lighting, and the art of making your home feel warm for the season. A major storm is expected to hit on Friday and Saturday, bringing heavy rain and potential flooding concerns across SoCal.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From Sonder's dramatic collapse following Marriott's termination, to Hilton's launch of the Outset Collection, to Airbnb's bold embrace of hotels — this was one of the most consequential weeks the industry has seen in years. The team brings perspectives spanning global travel, hotel development, luxury operations, and hospitality tech. Fast-paced, unfiltered, and deeply informed — this is the weekly breakdown every hotelier, operator, developer, and investor should be listening to.

Sonder's bankruptcy has shaken the short-term rental world — and for good reason. Once the poster child of the “hotel-meets-Airbnb” model, Sonder's downfall marks a pivotal moment for operators everywhere. In this episode, AirDNA's Chief Economist Jamie Lane and co-host Scott Sage unpack what went wrong, what it signals for the rental arbitrage model, and how changing travel demand is reshaping the industry.From a surprising partnership failure with Marriott to the ripple effects in urban markets still struggling post-COVID, Jamie and Scott connect the dots between Sonder's story and broader market trends. They also dig into fresh October 2025 performance data, including occupancy declines, rate adjustments, and a critical PSA for hosts affected by Airbnb's new service fee model.The episode closes with a behind-the-scenes look at AirDNA's latest data model upgrades, revealing how machine learning is improving accuracy and trust in industry insights — setting the stage for even more powerful analytics ahead.You don't want to miss this episode — especially if you rely on rental data to guide your business decisions.Key Takeaways for STR Pros

U.S. travel companies are feeling the sting of fewer international visitors, Airbnb tests a hotel strategy in major cities, and Sonder's meteoric rise ends in collapse.

Today we ponder the fate of Sonder, a Canadian-founded company that appears to be near its end. A homegrown tech company is proving, beyond a reasonable doubt, that AI can do a lot more in the courtroom than make up legal cases.

On this episode of Good Morning Hospitality, A Skift Podcast, Wil Slickers, Michael Goldin, and Brandreth Canaley are joined by Skift Senior Hospitality Reporter Sean O'Neill to unpack the breaking story of Marriott Bonvoy ending its licensing agreement with Sonder Inc. after the company defaulted on the deal. The partnership had been a much-needed lifeline for Sonder, allowing its apartment-style properties to be listed across Marriott's booking channels. But with the agreement now terminated, and Sonder's own website currently showing zero available listings, the situation is raising questions about the company's operations, liquidity, and future as a public brand. Marriott has said it's assisting guests with existing bookings made through its platforms, while those who booked via third parties should contact their providers directly. As this story continues to develop, Sean shares what's known so far, and the GMH crew digs into what this could signal for Marriott's extended-stay ambitions, Sonder's next move (if any at all), and how confidence in hotel–tech partnerships may shift in the days/weeks ahead.

Die Oos-Kaap staar die ergste oorbevolking in die gesig, met Butterworth se aanhoudingsfasiliteit wat 231-persent vol is. Seabe doen 'n beroep op alternatiewe vonnisoplegging, herstellende geregtigheid en maatreëls om die risiko te verminder dat gevangenes by bendes aansluit:
