Extensive upgrades on the cards for major South African airport
Lanseria International Airport, South Africa's only privately owned airport, is gearing up for a major transformation this year. According to BusinessTech , these major upgrades are aimed at increasing capacity at the airport, improving infrastructure, and establishing itself as a key regional hub. The South African airport is also positioning itself for long-term growth through an ambitious expansion plan. CEO Rampa Rammopo outlined a bold future for the Gauteng-based airport, BusinessTech revealed. Handling 1.9 million passengers annually, Lanseria aims to more than double that figure by 2032 and reach six million by 2037. By 2050, the goal is a staggering 18 million passengers a year.

How to Move from Planning to Action for a Better Retirement
The FNB retirements 2025 survey released on Tuesday in Durban indicated that most South Africans are looking forward to a retirement that offers comfort, freedom, and financial ease, but the reality for many is likely to be very different. The FNB retirements 2025 survey released on Tuesday in Durban indicated that most South Africans are looking forward to a retirement that offers comfort, freedom, and financial ease, but the reality for many is likely to be very different. The survey revealed a widening gap between retirement expectations and actual preparedness – just 10% are planning to fully retire at 60. The survey, which is in its third year, indicated that although more South Africans claim to have a retirement plan, very few are on track to achieve their goals. 'The survey reveals that 60% of South Africans under the age of 60 now have a retirement plan. However, financial constraints continue to hinder progress, potentially delaying contributions, leading to premature access to savings, or causing abandonment of retirement products altogether. Among middle-income earners, for example, contributions towards retirement annuities have declined from 51% to 34% as debt pressures and daily living costs take precedence. The research further highlights a growing trend – the middle class feels uncertain about their ability to save adequately and stay on track with their retirement plans.' Sizwe Nxedlana, CEO of FNB Private Segment, said that what's clear is that most people aren't ignoring retirement; they are just overwhelmed by it. 'The survey found that procrastination often stems from not knowing where to start. We see that people don't avoid planning because they don't care; they avoid it because it feels too big, too far away, or too confusing. That's why we need to meet people where they are, with tools and advice that break things down and build momentum.' Nxedlana added that funeral cover is almost universal in South Africa because people want to ease the immediate burden on family. 'But a Will does that too, and more. It's not just for the wealthy. It's about protecting your family in the long term.' The survey said that there's persistent anxiety about the rising cost of living, future health expenses, and whether their money will last. 'While younger respondents tend to be optimistic, with many expecting to replace 75% or more of their income in retirement, the experiences of older adults tell a different story. Many over-60s are working longer than planned, cutting back on spending, or relying on their adult children for support. Some retired respondents spoke of losing their sense of purpose, feeling isolated, or experiencing regret about not planning earlier.' Survey responses highlighted that public awareness is relatively high, with nearly 70% of respondents indicating they've heard of the new Two Pot system, and almost half claimed to understand it. 'Encouragingly, less than a third of survey respondents have actually withdrawn from the savings portion of their newly structured retirement funds.' Nxedlana said that the concern is that while the reform offers short-term relief, the savings pot could be seen as a default emergency fund rather than a tool for building future stability. 'However, there is some cause for cautious optimism, since 43% of those who haven't withdrawn from their savings pot say they don't plan to – which points to an understanding of keeping their retirement savings intact over time. The research also delivered evidence of a broader rethink around retirement itself. Over 50% of respondents expect to supplement their retirement income through part-time work or side hustles.' Nxedlana added that he believes this evolution reflects a generational shift. 'People aren't just looking for products; they're looking for options, guidance, and a greater sense of control. This is especially relevant given that the findings point to a shift in how and where people seek advice. Bank platforms now outrank social media and peer groups as the preferred channel for retirement guidance. Consumers are calling for lower fees, user-friendly tools, better education, and incentives to reward consistency. Our job as FNB is to provide the tools, insight, and support to help them navigate this complex journey so that they are able to turn their intentions into results.' Johnson said that there's no single fix for retirement. 'There are bite-sized steps for everyone. At FNB, we're focused on helping clients move from merely having a plan for retirement to having a good plan - and from feeling stuck and overwhelmed to taking action.' BUSINESS REPORT
