It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that almost everyone has had an issue with a noisy neighbour at some point in life, whether it’s a one-time occurrence, like a bit of drilling in the early hours of the morning or a consistent ordeal, like loud parties that persist all night. It’s almost unavoidable as the houses and apartment blocks in most residential areas are closely packed. And with that kind of proximity, the walls or fencing separating you and your neighbours aren’t always enough to keep the peace. So, if you find yourself in this kind of situation, and wonder what the

Significant amendments to the Criminal Procedure Act are on the horizon and if passed into law, will provide for South Africans’ criminal records to be “expunged” by paying an admission of guilt fine.

As a parent, you want the best for your child – that’s no secret. You want to ensure they have a bright future ahead of them. But for that to be a realistic and achievable goal, you need to lay a strong foundation and search for opportunities to help them reach their full potential.

South Africans, now more than ever, want bang for their hard-earned bucks. With a fragile economy, consumers are likely more discerning about what they spend their money on, and when they do, they expect quality goods and services. Of course, this isn’t just a reasonable expectation; it’s a consumer right protected by the law.
