This was after the Border Management Authority (BMA), an entity of the Department …

On this Workers’ Day, the African Christian Democratic Party (ACDP) recognises the important gains made in protecting workers’ rights in South Africa. Constitutional safeguards, progressive labour laws, and the role of organised labour have strengthened dignity in the workplace and advanced fair labour practices. However, the ACDP believes that these gains must be balanced with …
A roof in trouble rarely starts leaking overnight. The first warning signs usually show up months or even years before the ceiling inside starts staining or a shingle finally breaks free. Spotting these early signs saves thousands in repair costs, because a small fix stays small when it gets handled early. A roof left unchecked …
Staff Writer ·1 May 2026 The South African rand strengthened on Thursday as markets assessed a batch of monthly domestic data for clues to the health of the country’s economy. The rand pulled back to around R16.70 on Thursday after weakening to over R16.80 following the US Fed’s rate announcement earlier in the week. The …
Oklahoma roofs take more punishment than roofs in most other states. Hail, high winds, tornado season, and the occasional ice storm all leave their mark, and most homeowners in the state will file at least one roof-related insurance claim over the course of a property’s life. The claim process has a few predictable pitfalls, and …
Mid-year school changes are never light decisions. Bullying, academic pace mismatches, family relocation, chronic illness, or simply a school that is not working can all trigger a switch. Moving to an online option during the year introduces specific logistical steps, and families who handle these well tend to see much smoother transitions than those who …
The stakes on a mobile app build are higher than most clients expect. A bad development partner can burn six months of effort, leave a half-working product, and damage the brand it was meant to support. A good one ships on time, communicates clearly, and delivers an app that customers actually use. The only way …
Buying a standard software package is almost always cheaper upfront than building something custom. That simple fact leads many businesses to reach for off-the-shelf solutions first and only consider custom builds after the stock options have failed. Sometimes that approach is right; other times it costs far more in the long run than building the …
Billions of pounds in R&D tax relief go unclaimed in the UK every single year. That’s not a guess. HMRC has said it repeatedly. The money is sitting there, waiting for businesses that qualify, and a huge number of them never bother to apply. Some don’t know the programme exists. Others assume it’s only for …
Running a business in Australia is expensive. Between wages, rent, materials, and compliance costs, margins can be tight. So when there’s a government programme that gives money back to companies investing in innovation, it’s worth paying attention. The Australian Government offers a generous tax offset for businesses that carry out qualifying research and development. Thousands …
Parents moving a child into online school often underestimate how much the home setup affects learning. A spare laptop on the kitchen table might work for a week, but by the end of a term, the gaps in the setup start showing up as missed lessons, frustrated teachers, and falling marks. Getting the basics right …
Choosing an online high school sometimes gets pitched as a simple trade-off between flexibility and structure. The real story is richer than that: the curriculum possibilities through online platforms often exceed what traditional schools in many parts of South Africa can deliver, and the exam paths available open doors that matter for university entry and …
Your roof is one of the most important parts of your house. It keeps rain out, holds heat in during winter, and protects everything you own. But most homeowners don’t think about their roof until something goes wrong. A leak shows up in the bedroom ceiling, shingles start blowing off in a storm, or the …
Most homeowners don’t think about their roof until something goes wrong. A leak during a heavy rainstorm, shingles blowing off after a big wind, or just noticing that the roof looks a lot worse than it did five years ago. When that happens, you need to act fast, but you also need to make smart …
Good oral health does more than give a person a nice smile. It plays a part in heart health, sleep quality, confidence at work, and even how well someone can chew their food. Yet many South Africans put off dental visits until pain forces them into the chair. By that point, the work needed is …
A lot of South African businesses are spending money on research and development without realising they could be getting some of that money back. The government has put programmes in place to reward companies that invest in innovation, but many business owners either don’t know about these programmes or assume they don’t qualify. That’s a …

A growing number of South Africans are choosing to sell a damaged car rather than invest in costly repairs, according to Damaged Cars Wanted. The company has reported a noticeable increase in enquiries from vehicle owners across Gauteng, the Western Cape, and KwaZulu-Natal over the past year, driven by rising repair costs, longer parts lead …

Magnetic separation is a standard part of almost every bulk handling and processing line, and the specific hardware choices come down to what material is moving, how much of it, and what needs to be pulled out. Using the wrong separator wastes money at best and damages downstream equipment at worst. A short walkthrough of …
Demolishing a structure in the middle of a quiet suburb is different from knocking down a warehouse on an industrial plot. Neighbours, trees, traffic, safety officers, and local councils all get involved, often before the first machine arrives on site. Getting the non-technical parts right is usually what determines whether a project runs smoothly or …
