Deadbeat parents: The amendment to the Maintenance Act to blacklist maintenance defaulters with credit bureaus is on track.
Stats indicate that 70% of deadbeats default on child maintenance in the first two years of court orders being granted.
The DOJ is currently updating their database and will forward the details of child maintenance order defaulters to all the credit bureaus, who will in turn make this information available to all credit providers.
No new credit unless your kids are sorted mates. This move is a direct response to implementing the amended provisions of the Maintenance Act.
The amendment of section 26 (2A) of the Act was brought about in 2022, but you read @Tina_Hokwana threads to fight, not apply š.

SARS has increased customs duties on imports from popular online retail platforms Shein, Temu, Amazon, AliExpress, and many more. Effective 1 September 2024, the new regulations have changed the customs duties and import VAT calculation on all cleared carts š. How it works:
Import VAT is now added to the current 20% flat rate customs duty. Import VAT = (total value of the goods + 20% customs duties + 10% upliftment on the customs duty value) * 15%. By 1 November 2024, the 20% flat rate will be restructured to align with the World Customs Organisation (WCO)ās 4 categories and applicable tariff thresholds.
Until recently, consumers and foreign online retailers have benefitted from the āde minimis ruleā (imports less than R500 were subject to standard customs duty of 20% on the value of the goods excluding VAT).
In stark contrast, local retailers pay up to 45% customs duty PLUS 15% import VAT on imports. (Connect the dots on pricingā¦)
SARS hopes the changes will streamline the customs process, encourage spending with domestic businesses and make importing small, low-value items less economically attractive. The move also hopes to even out market inefficiencies, cluttered supply chains and customs admin while increasing competitiveness domestically.

Van Reenanās Pass (VRP) needs to be closed and rehabilitated, or an alternative route sourced urgently. The current conditions and usage on that section of road doesnāt work.
Globally the maximum gradient of highways can go up as high as 7%, which is normally reserved for mountain passes. VRP is built outside the maximum recommended gradient for highways, at an estimated 6.3%.
On every other type of carriageway, at best itās kept at a maximum of 3 - 5%.
Typically, a fully loaded truck shouldnāt be driving on a gradient of more than 5%. Why? Crossing a gradient sideways increases the chances of that truck overturning, which is what we witness daily on the N3 šš¾āāļø
That pass was fine for decades when we drove slower cars, were all K53 compliant and adhering to the laws of the road, and there were less trucks and haulage on our highways. Today, VRP is simply a death trap whether you drive carefully or not. May the souls of those whoāve lost their lives there and elsewhere, rest in peace.
