Join the walkathon on Mandela Day
They are rearing to go and working hard behind the scenes to launch the Be an Active Ambassador for Avril on this day.
Their aim with this drive is to focus on those playing and/or participating in any sport, to wear their range of sports gear and get 'active' for the cause, whether it be cycling the Argus or 94.7, running the Comrades, sky-diving, climbing Mount Everest, wrestling your in-laws, or entering any event that will draw attention to our white gear, advocating for the home.
On July 18, they will be having their first Wheelchair Walk-Athon and they are inviting you and your company, colleagues, friends, family and acquaintances to enter this challenge by sponsoring a couple of entrant(s) employees to walk the 1.2km perimeter of the home at R100 per lap.
Walkers will be required to push a colleague or friend in a wheelchair, trying to do as many laps as possible in 67 minutes, with a minimum of two laps required.
Your lap card will be stamped after each lap, and their admin team will verify that against your sponsorship form.
Registration is at 08:30, and the actual walkathon starts at 09:00. What better way to create special awareness for our home than by doing your 67 minutes on Madiba Day and having fun, fun, fun!
The Bedfordview and Primrose CPF will be joining and keep walkers safe.
There will also be stands alongside the home's wall in Castor Road and Orient Street, should you wish to purchase a sidewalk stand at R150, promoting your business and cheering on the walkers. You can offer them water or an orange quarter to show your support. There are 24 sidewalk stands available.
Please note that the Book and Charity shops will be open for companies and their participating teams on that day.
They will also have some of their sports gear for sale. There will be a hot and cold drink station and ice cream for sale.
More exciting news is that the winner of their lamb raffle will be drawn and announced at 14:30 on the day.
Come prepared. Come hungry. Come ready to have the best day ever while supporting our cause.

Residents demand scrapping of bills, reject amnesty plan
Frustrated residents from across Tshwane took to the streets demanding the immediate scrapping of historic arrears in estimated bills and to reject the metro's current conditional amnesty programme. The Lotus Gardens, Atteridgeville, and Saulsville Civic Association (LASCA) led the march on May 29. They described the historic debt as 'bogus'. The residents handed over their memorandum of demands at Tshwane House in the Pretoria CBD. LASCA president Tshepo Mahlangu said the estimated bills are 'unconstitutional', and residents should not be obligated to pay for services that cannot be verified. 'The auditor general's report indicated that these bills are estimated, so they are inaccurate,' Mahlangu said. 'Residents cannot be compelled to pay for a debt that is based on estimations, even in terms of the law, we are not obliged to pay for estimations.' He stated that the metro is struggling with service delivery, which is causing distress across all regions, but customers are facing unjustifiably high and inaccurate bills. 'The metro is so quick to want to collect debts, but when it comes to delivering services, they hold back. 'Residents are faced with poor service delivery but are charged every month for services that are never rendered.' He said that for residents to start paying bills, the estimated debts should be eliminated, and then services delivered so that there is proof of what they are required to pay for. 'The metro should solve the billing problem by employing more meter readers, delivering services appropriately, and then collecting revenue.' The Department of Finance recently announced that the municipality's Debt Relief and Incentive Scheme will conclude on May 31, however, residents demanded that the programme be stopped. 'This scheme is used to trick municipal customers into committing to payment arrangements on arrears,' said Mahlangu. He maintained that the metro should put a stop to the conditional bill amnesty scheme. Residents expressed their frustration regarding the municipality's billing crisis. Joyce Manoko, a 69-year-old resident of Atteridgeville, expressed her confusion about why her water bill was so high. 'It doesn't make sense to me how I have a debt of over R100 000 on my bill when I pay the little I have every month for utilities. I don't even own a car wash.' She said the municipality called her to make an arrangement to pay the debt, but she has no idea how she is going to pay. 'If I agree to that arrangement, how will I pay for it when I don't work and depend on the pensioners' grant only?' Godfrey Shabalala (65) from Soshanguve said he is hurt by how they are being treated by the metro. He stated that they are forced to live in darkness and that their taps run dry due to debts they do not understand. 'We are suffering while people in power are living comfortably and earning profits using our names.' MMC for Finance and Deputy Mayor Eugene Modise received and signed the memorandum of demands, committing to address the issues raised by residents. 'We will call the LASCA delegation and have a meeting with them within the stated 14 days to discuss what should be done, how, and when,' he said.

Rate cut another boost for rising property market
With the inflation rate still below 3% and the Rand stronger against the US Dollar, the Monetary Policy Committee of the Reserve Bank has decided to lower the repo rate by 0,25% to 7,25%. This is the fourth interest rate cut since September 2024 and will take the prime rate and home loan 'base rate' to 10,75%, compared to 11,75% a year ago, notes Berry Everitt, CEO of the Chas Everitt International property group, and will cut the cost of borrowing by around R17 per R100 000. 'This means that on the R1,6m average home price noted in the May BetterBond Property Brief, the minimum monthly bond repayment will drop by R272, making it easier for prospective buyers to qualify for new home loans. 'And for existing homeowners with 20-year bonds at that level, their monthly repayments will now be almost R1100 lower than at this time last year.' The news for first-time buyers is even better, he says, with the minimum monthly repayment on the average first-time buyer home price of R1,28m dropping by R218 and the gross monthly income required to qualify for a 20-year loan of that amount falling by more than R700. 'In addition, the banks have been easing deposit requirements in recent months and the average deposit for first-time buyers is currently almost 9% lower, at R175 000, than it was at this time last year. Coming on top of the Budget decisions to raise the Transfer Duty threshold to R1,2m and not to raise VAT, this means that first-time buyers now require a lot less cash to become homeowners.' Everitt says this is already being reflected in the market, with BetterBond recording a 2,2% year-on-year increase in home loan applications in April, 'which represents a huge comeback from the 15% year-on-year decline recorded in April 2024'. Today's MPC decision follows news released by StatsSA that the inflation rate in April was 2,8%, still under the Bank's current target range of 3 to 6%, despite large electricity tariff increases and higher food prices in recent months. Reserve Bank governor Lesetja Kganyago noted that inflation was also expected to remain lower than initially expected this year largely due to lower oil prices, a stronger Rand/dollar exchange rate and the decision not to raise VAT. On the other hand, economic growth projections are lower and unemployment is higher worldwide, so there is a need to lower rates to stimulate spending, company revenues and employment. Many other central banks have already cut rates in response to this situation, and the US Federal Reserve is also expected to start doing so at its next meeting. Issued by Chas Everitt International

Challenges and opportunities for SMEs for the year ahead
A crucial factor in the success of many of these businesses was having a proactive plan to address the challenges they encountered. Image: Pexels South African small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have had a tumultuous few years, affected by a broad spectrum of political and economic issues. Despite these challenges, many business owners managed to keep their businesses afloat, and some have even found opportunities for growth and development. A crucial factor in the success of many of these businesses was having a proactive plan to address the challenges they encountered. This was according to Jeremy Lang, Managing Director at Business Partners Limited, who unpacks the four major challenges SMEs continue to face and must find ways to navigate this year: Supply chain disruptions The 2024 national general election results were painted as a democratic milestone but brought, and continue to bring, uncertainty and fears of political instability. Geopolitical conflict also continues to affect supply chains, impacting global sentiment and lowering confidence levels among local SMEs. Video Player is loading.

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ Ad Loading According to the PwC 2023 Global Risk Survey, supply chain disruptions were identified as the primary external contributor to company risk, a trend that persisted in 2024. The backlog at the Port of Durban, a key logistics hub, serves as a notable example of the significant delays affecting local rail and port operations. The recent increase in tariffs on South African exports to the United States will affect many South African SMEs in that value chain. 2. Loadshedding While South Africa has enjoyed a prolonged period of (mostly) uninterrupted power supply, power outages were an ongoing issue up until the second quarter of 2024 with a daily average of 2.5 hours without power. Major retailers like Shoprite reportedly spent a monthly R100 million on diesel when the country was experiencing Stage 6 load shedding. With recent, sporadic blackouts being implemented by Eskom in quarter one of 2025, there are concerns that the ability to meet the energy demand is still very much in doubt. Persistent rolling blackouts last year contributed to a reduced growth forecast by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The South African Reserve Bank estimated that loadshedding reduced GDP growth by between 0.6 and 2% between 2023 and 2024. 3. Rising inflation Rising food and fuel prices, coupled with a weakening rand and increased debt-servicing costs, pushed inflation to a high of 5.6% in February 2024. These conditions, combined with a prime lending rate of 11.75%, meant rising operational costs and reduced profitability. Many SMEs had to choose between passing on price hikes to customers and risk losing market share or absorbing increased costs and eradicating profit margins. Although the interest rate is currently on a decline, it will still take a while until it is at pre-Covid-19 levels. 4. Limited access to funding Only one in five SMEs manages to secure the financial support they need to grow their businesses. In South Africa, 87% of small businesses have never accessed credit due to traditional lending practices like reliance on collateral and rigid credit scoring systems creating financial exclusion. This exclusion is particularly pronounced among small and early-stage enterprises which make up the 'missing middle' of SMEs and don't fit traditional financiers' one-size-fits-all requirements. The truth is that funding is available, SMEs need to demonstrate that they are well-managed businesses with growth potential. SMEs must approach funders aligned to their funding needs. Funders want to invest in operations that show viability, scalability and a good return on investment for both the SME and the financier. 5. Turning obstacles into opportunities Lang believes that 2025 may offer more innovative and forward-thinking business owners the chance to transform some of these ongoing challenges into opportunities. Love local As geopolitical tensions persist across the globe, businesses are increasingly sourcing materials and products locally. SMEs can capitalise on this shift by integrating into local supply chains of larger corporations. The South African Revenue Service (SARS) also strengthened this incentive by placing a 15% VAT as of 1 September 2024 in addition to its existing flat 20% customs rate on imports from foreign ecommerce retailers like Shein and Temu that have reportedly exploited tax loopholes and the de minimis tax rule, which used to allow small online purchases under R500 to be taxed only at a flat 20% customs duty, without VAT. This initiative is aimed at protecting local industries and improving revenue. Leverage green tech The growing demand for sustainable alternatives presents an opportunity for SMEs in the renewable energy sector. Businesses can adopt renewable energy to cut costs and reduce operational disruptions should load shedding resurface, as well as provide affordable and reliable solar solutions, battery storage systems, or energy-efficient appliances. Either of these approaches would make an operation attractive to green-conscious customers and investors. Inflate value When costs go up, customers tend to seek out products and services that are cost-effective. SMEs can capture market share by addressing inflation-driven concerns and providing high-quality, affordable solutions to their customers. To tackle these issues, SMEs may need to conduct research or even implement technological solutions such as artificial intelligence in their operations to improve internal processes, resolve customer problems, and reduce production costs. According to the Q4 2024 Business Partners Limited SME Confidence Index, when asked if their businesses had ever collaborated with other small businesses to cross-sell each other's products or services, 42.56% of SMEs responded that they had not, while 37.57% indicated that they had successfully collaborated. Partnering with other SMEs is another effective way to provide value for customers. Get funding-ready Both the challenge and the key to financial resilience during challenging economic times is gaining and maintaining access to capital. Funding enables SMEs to overcome the impact of inflation, load shedding, and supply chain disruptions; and to invest in alternative energy solutions. It supports cash flow which in turn allows entrepreneurs to invest in initiatives that help them to manage rising costs and maintain competitive pricing strategies. 'By embracing innovation, addressing operational challenges head-on, and securing the necessary funding, South African SMEs can build resilience and position themselves for sustainable growth,' says Lang. 'With the right strategies, these businesses can not only overcome current hurdles they are facing this year, but also unlock new opportunities to thrive in an ever evolving economic landscape,' he said.
