This blog aims to be informative and based primarily on Finance, although from time to time I will post stuff which is the furthest thing from finance. I hope it makes understanding finance easier for my readers.

Amakhosi parade travels through Johannesburg
I came across this video on Youtube and had to share it on my blog...The frenzy in the streets outside Absa Head Office on Tuesday 28 May 2013 as the Kaizer Chiefs parade bus approached Absa Towers was something else. There were vuvuzelas been blown all over, cheers, and fans running and dancing alongside the parade bus. I had the opportunity to meet most of the players and the coach Stuart Baxter and got autographs from some of the players and the coach and got my picture taken with the Absa Premiership Trophy (see my earlier post).
ABSA PREMIERSHIP TROPHY
A photo of a photo...lol...only because I have been waiting whole week for my digital copy which I have not yet received...Anyway I had the privilege of having my photo taken with the Absa Premiership Trophy last week Tuesday (28 May 2013) when Kaizer Chiefs were at Absa's Head office. Absolutely wonderful experience. A Huge Thanks to Absa for the picture...

THE BASICS OF A WILL
The following
information is based on South African Law and rules applicable to wills. It is
basic in nature and aims to help in understanding the basics of a will.
We hear about wills
all the time. Some of our family members have a will, some don’t. We hear about
people who died and had a will, and we hear about those who died and left no
will. When a person dies without a will this sometimes leads to family feud over
who gets what and who must not get anything. The rules of intestate succession
(The Intestate Succession Act 81 of 1987) regulate how the estate should be
distributed when a person dies without leaving a will.
When a person dies
without leaving a valid will then he will have died intestate.
When a person dies leaving a valid will then
he will die testate.
Who can make a
will?
So the big question
is who can make a will for when they pass away.
According to the
Wills Act No. 7 of 1953 - every person of
the age of sixteen years or more may make a will unless at the time of making
the will he is mentally incapable of appreciating the nature and effect of his
act, and the burden of proof that he was mentally incapable at the time shall
rest on the person alleging the same.
So what is a Will?
A will is document in
which a person called the testator prescribes how his property must be disposed
of at death. This simply means that a person will use a will to legally declare
who he wants to transfer his assets to at death.
Some Advantages of
a will
You get to choose who
you want to give your assets to at death.
People with children can nominate a guardian in their will to look after the children until
they become adults. A testamentary trust to manage the children’s inheritance
can also be set up.
You can create a
trust and appoint trustees.
Leaving a valid
will
A will must be in
writing, it cannot be made verbally.
Also note that a
witness to a will may never benefit from a will. For example if Tamia wants
Tyra to have her car when she dies, Tyra cannot sign as a witness to the will.
The will must comply
with the formal requirements of the Wills Act. Therefore always consult with a
Financial Planner or Financial Adviser or Attorney or qualified expert that can
assist you when drafting your will. By doing this you can ensure that you will
leave a valid will when you pass away. This is not a document that you want to
take chances with, because if you do then when you pass away the chance of your
will being declared invalid either partially or wholly are higher if you did
not consult with a financial Planner or Financial Adviser or Attorney or expert when
drafting your will.

The Johannesburg CBD
Earlier today I was browsing through my pictures on my phone and I came across pictures of the Johannesburg CBD I captured with my blackberry earlier this year, the 14th of February 2013 (Valentines day) to be exact. So what was a Durbanite doing in this huge city?, Africa's economic Hub. Yes that's right, Joburg is the leading economic city on the continent of Africa......Well I left Durban on the 31st of January to start my new job in Joburg. So I was kinda new to Joburg at the time I took the pics. I remember been so amazed by how huge the CBD was. I think its like 10 times bigger than Durban's CBD. So I took a few pics to always remember my first days in this overwhelming city. The CBD is just amazing to look at from a distance, below are the pics.
