Thandi runs a small bakery. A supermarket group offers her a contract to supply bread every weekday morning. It is her biggest offer ever, and she wants to say yes today.

R29, paid securely online, or 29 learning credits from your wallet. You pay once: if you don’t pass the challenge, you try again at no extra cost.
