KZN’S FAVOURITE READ
from the editor
L
ast week I received a letter from a company collecting television licence fees for and on behalf of the South African Broadcasting Corporation. The letter claims that I owe them money for an outstanding television licence fee renewal, but their approach is interesting. Instead of going on an outright offensive, they are trying a more subtle approach. Here is the content of that missive:
“Take your first step to doing the right thing! We know times have been tough but thank goodness for affordable entertainment! For just 73c per day – you have access to news around the world, the latest music and music videos, the funniest comedies and international star gossip! Be honest – what else could you buy for 73c these days? Did you know that if you pay your TV licence annually as opposed to monthly you will save R71.00! This is truly amazing! Make a difference – pay your TV licence.” Truly amazing…I think not. I have no problem paying for services that I request and receive but to be paying anything to the SABC for the drivel they now produce under the guise of entertainment seems like extortion. The law requires that if you own a television set, it must be licenced and the licence fees paid to the SABC and I believe that the law in this case is an ass.

I have a device that links to the internet for the purpose of receiving information and entertainment of a nature that appeals to me. In effect it’s a monitor, not a television set, and as I no longer make use of any service provided the public broadcaster, I don’t believe that I owe them anything. There was a time that SABC TV produced some great entertainment and although much of it has dated rather badly, it still makes for popular viewing according to DSTV’s latest figures. The SABC Encore channel on DSTV currently featuring repeats like The Villagers, Westgate, Vyfster, Going Up, Louis Motors and a host of other popular series from the past, has attracted record viewership over the past few months. This should be a bonanza for the surviving performers in these series, few as they may be, but no. Actors who appear in SABC TV series being re-broadcast on DStv’s Encore channel are preparing for a legal battle with the public broadcaster about royalties. Hans Strydom, the lawyer acting for the SA Actors’ Guild, says the actors have not yet been paid for the series produced in the 1980s and 1990s. SABC spokesperson Kaizer Kganyago said the cheques were in the post and the SABC pays royalties only twice a year. Veteran actor Frank Opperman said he was at the gala event where the Encore channel was announced and SABC COO Hlaudi Motsoeneng said: ‘I, Hlaudi Motsoeneng, will pay my performers.’ Joe (Sdumo) Mafela, seen in two popular broadcasts, said his agent has sent the SABC invoices, but has not received any feedback. The Guild took the SABC to court
15 years ago about royalties for rebroadcasts and won the case. But this means little to actors who are living in poverty because the SABC has cut back production to a fraction of what it once was. M

So, when the SABC “takes their first step to doing the right thing” and pays those living in penury because there is no more television work available, I might consider doing likewise. Until then I will not be paying them a cent. I just think that under the circumstances “It’s the right thing to do…” Welcome to another edition of Life & Style also available online at www.lifeandstyle.fm

Factors that influence the asking price of property. Ida Du Plooy Harcourts Dolphin Coast
W
hen putting a house on the market, there are many factors that play a role in determining the asking price for the property. Both buyers and sellers should be aware of the factors that influence real estate marketability as they ultimately determine the value of property. Some of these factors include those of demographic change, progression and regression, and supply and demand.
Demographic Factors:
According to Jan Myburgh, General Manager of Harcourts Real Estate South Africa, “An important factor that determines price is the demographic change within a neighbourhood, be it negative or positive. All areas experience transformation, either in the form of growth or decay and these circumstances will severely affect the value of a property when it comes time to sell.” Currently the face of the greater Ballito is changing rapidly. In some areas expansion and new properties are clearly evident, while in other areas stagnation and deterioration is visible. In circumstances where the demand for property far exceeds the opportunities available in the market place, the price of homes and rentals usually increase as people are willing to purchase at a higher price rather than risk no purchase at all. The strong demand for property leads to the building of more housing developments and accelerated growth in supply of property, such as South Africa had from 2005 to 2008. However, this often results in a surplus of housing which causes the reverse effect in the market, especially when the market is affected by unavailability of loans, high debt levels and unemployment like SA has had for the past 3 years.
Current Statistic’s on housing prices:
According to statistics by OOBA, South Africa’s largest bond originator, housing prices have shown a slow growth in recent times. In August 2014 the average house price was R 982,297 growing by only 3.4% to August 2015 where the average price is currently R1, 015,766. “This slowdown in housing prices is not surprising given
that consumer confidence is at its lowest level in 15 years,” says Rhys Dyer Ooba CEO.
Change in utility supply:
Add the current problems experienced by local homeowners of water restrictions and load-shedding. All potential buyers are aware of additional costs to install water tanks, inverters and generators when considering buying property, where in the past they may only have taken renovation costs into account when making an offer to purchase.
Progression or Regression of an area:
Houses within a neighbourhood that all conform with each other as they are of a similar size and style with the same number of rooms, etc- will all fall within a similar price bracket and a similar value for these properties can be expected. However, the values of properties that do not conform within the parameters of the houses in the surrounding them may be affected by the principles of progression and regression. The term “Principle of Regression” is used to refer to property of high value that due to its location within an area of lower valued properties is negatively affected and may suffer as its true value is not perceived. Similarly, the “Principle of Progression” refers to the increase in value of lowervalued properties which are in close proximity to houses of higher value. In short it means that the properties around you have a negative or a positive effect on the value/price on your property.
Location:
It’s all about location, location, location! It is best to buy the worst house in a good neighbourhood at a higher price than the best house in a bad neighbourhood at a lower price. You have to think about the future of your investment and make the decision that will be best for you as a homeowner in the long-run. The secret is to “Start selling as soon as you have bought “Ask yourself – Why will someone buy this property again in the future? What are the current trends in the area that may influence you selling on again in the future.
When it comes to pricing your property to sell, it is advisable to call on your local estate agent, such as Harcourts Dolphin Coast, with a good track record and access to information of recent sales in your area, to assist you with establishing a market related price. But ultimately the true value of any property anywhere in the world will be determined by a willing and able Buyer and Seller

On 24 September 2014 The Supreme Court of Appeal in South Africa ruled in a case making legal history by stating that the law allowing civil damages claims against a third party for adultery is “archaic” and “the time for its abolition has come”. In this case of RH v DE, Judge F Brand’s judgement paved the path for the eradication of claims in cases of adultery. This case was taken on appeal to the Constitutional Court and judgment was handed down on 19 June 2015 in this appeal case, DE v RH 182/14, concerning the continued existence of a spouse’s right to claim damages for adultery against a third party. I will not go into the facts of this case but merely refer briefly to the Constitutional Court’s opinion that love and respect are foundations of a solid marriage and not legal rules. After all, it is the parties to a marriage who undertook to be truthful and faithful to each other. The Constitutional Court expressed its view that the obligation pre-eminently rests on the spouses themselves to protect and maintain their marriage relationship. The court further made the point that our modern day idea of the sacrosanctity of marriage and its concomitant protection by the law are
by no means what they were in ancient times. The times are ever changing and the law – though still recognising the sanctity of marriage – has moved with the times both in its conception of the institution of marriage and the punitive extremes to which it will go to protect it. The court found no evidence that an action for adultery would deter a spouse in a marriage from committing adultery nor would it deter a third party from committing adultery with a married person. Adultery and malicious desertion are for the most part only the ultimate acts which indicate that a marriage has broken down. They are more often the effects of a marriage having broken down than the causes of breakdown. This change in our legal system raises the question whether shifting the emphasis to personal and moral responsibility as opposed to legal recourse will sufficiently protect the sanctity of our marriages?

their responsibility when raising their children. It’s a question that is often raised - who is accountable and responsible for the actions of the students? We certainly do not encourage any form of misbehaviour, but rather stand boldly in encouraging our students to make the correct choices. Discipline does not discriminate against culture, colour, private or public institutions and the common denominator boils down to one’s values. Every school has some form of structure whether it is ‘rules’ driven or ’value’ driven. The fact remains that schools are attempting to educate the youth of our nation far beyond the parameters of subject learning. As the saying goes, “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink.” If a student does not have the motivation to make the right choices even with the support and assistance from all parties, they will be caught in conflict situations when the time comes to make a choice, whether it is right or wrong. There is no parenting manual for easy reference and every family is different. We all have different views and opinions, but essentially morals & values are the basic criteria that mould our character and make us who we are. Recently, I read an Educational Journal that discusses how parents compensate for their children; “We, parents, are overprotecting, over-directing and do a lot of handholding, ostensibly in furtherance of our children’s safety – physical, emotional, academic, reputation, professional and financial, but also in furtherance of our own ego. Our kids
become chronologically adult, but still expect us to tell them what to do and how to do it, and they are bewildered by the prospect of having to fend for themselves as an actual independent human.”(Julie LythcottHaims: How Schools Are Handling an ‘Over parenting’ crisis). In a nutshell, the article spoke about students being responsible and accountable by becoming independent through their own initiative. We do not teach our children anything by doing their homework or having to drop-off their assignment or Phys.Ed kit etc. We have to teach them a sense of responsibility and accountability, but it takes a concerted effort from all, to positively influence them in making good decisions, to have the courage and the character to abstain, to say ‘NO’ and to stand for what is right. At the same time, they also need to know that there are consequences for making bad choices and decisions. The way they respond become and the length they will need to go to rectify a situation will be crucial to their future. We often remind our students that the second time they make the same mistake, it is no longer a mistake, but a decision. It’s not a perfect world and we all make mistakes at times, BUT it is incumbent on those who can make a difference to persevere and encourage good habits and acceptable behaviour whether in or out of school.

Investing Abroad
11
Shaun Latter – Quaestor Wealth Management
T
he dismal performance of the rand recently, has given rise to many investors exploring the option of moving assets abroad. Whilst giving your portfolio an international flavour is imperative in any well-diversified portfolio, some guidelines should be considered.
To my mind, investors fall into three broad categories when it comes to offshore investing: 1)The diversifier – this is the investor who holds a portion of their assets in international markets. There is little doubt that every investor should have at least some of their investment capital exposed to global businesses and currencies. The reason for this, as with most diversification strategies, is to lower the risk/volatility of your portfolio. Our current environment is a case in point and whilst we may bemoan the weakening currency, this bodes well for those who hold a position outside of RSA. 2)The globetrotter – in addition to the diversification needs mentioned above, some have expenses that need to be covered in foreign currencies. The reasons could be numerous; however, quite commonly, parents have children living abroad. It may be education and living expenses for your child studying abroad that need to be covered, or regular visits to family members who have emigrated. We live in a global village and need to plan accordingly. 3)The afro-pessimist – despite how positively I may feel about our
beautiful country, it is not without its own set of problems and this has led to some feeling more than a little jittery. One only has to read the newspaper headlines and it becomes difficult to say that concerns are unfounded. Therefore, some investors find greater security in having a healthy chunk of their assets ‘under the shade’ of a stronger currency and/or economy. This strategy can work provided it is done intelligently and not to the detriment of your lifestyle here. So where does this leave us? Certainly, every investor should have some offshore exposure. The exact amount differs according to investor’s goals and risk tolerance but 15%-25% is a fairly prudent number. Recent rand depreciation may have left some investors overexposed internationally and rebalancing should be done pronto (as is the case with any asset held for diversification purposes). In this circumstance, there is no need to physically take your money abroad but rather through what is known as an ‘asset swap’. This is done at a fund level (with your existing investments) so as to be able to rebalance easily. For those with offshore expenses or needing the security, going direct is the answer. Offshore allowances have
been relaxed over the past few years to allow an investor (over the age of 18) to invest up to R10 million every calendar year abroad. In addition to this, you also have a single discretionary allowance of R1 million. Wherever you fit in the above categories, discuss your offshore strategy with your financial planner to ensure that it serves your lifestyle goals and personal needs.
“Wealth Strategies for successful living” Life has enough complexities and uncertainties as it is – your financial well-being shouldn’t be one of them. As a professional financial planning and wealth management practice, our focus is to translate investment complexities into simple, effective solutions that not only provide clarity for today but certainty for tomorrow.

How to Gain Weight
FOR
RESULTS DRIVEN
PERSONAL TRAINING...
Johan Dorfling - Certified Personal Trainer, Triggerpoint Therapy Coach, Posture Exercise Professional.
Y
es, believe it or not, for some, putting on weight is harder than losing it.
Here are a few pointers to packing on the pounds.
1. Quality vs. Quantity
Don’t think this gives you a free pass to eat sweets and burgers. You have to eat nutrient dense foods, so swop the chocolate and burgers for something more nutritious.
2. Eat often
You don’t have to sit down to huge servings of food and force feed yourself, rather have smaller more frequent meals. Make your meals nutrient dense and space them about 3 hours apart.
3. Start lifting
If your goal is to pick up weight you need to start picking up weights to build muscle. 4. Exercise will increase your appetite
5. Weights vs. Cardio
Some believe that you have to avoid cardio like the plague but this is not true. Cardio will make you fitter and help you get through you weight training sessions without being completely exhausted. I would definitely recommend way more time in the weights section though. High
intensity cardio sprints can even make you put on muscle.
6. Limit your rest between sets
I often see people sitting around way longer than they should between sets in order to lift as heavy as the can. Train your muscles, not your ego. Keep rests to about a minute
7. Supplement
I’m not saying run off to go buy anabolic muscle shakes or preworkouts. Supplement your diet with multivitamins and meal supplements.
8. Closed Chain Exercises vs. Isolation Exercises
Do more push, pull, squat, lunge and lifting exercises. These get your hormones going way more than bicep curls and triceps pull downs.
9. Eat Healthy Fats
Apart from the health benefits, these are also high in calories. You can get these from raw nuts and seeds, avocado and fish.
10 Keep your repetitions between 8 and 12
Lifting too heavy will make you stronger but not necessarily bigger.
11. Blend it
Awesym is Growing
A
wesym Skin and Body, one of Ballito’s most popular wellness destinations has just added two new attractions to their line-up of services. The Firming Studio with the Vela Shape II machine that effectively contours, shapes and slims the body by reducing cellulite and firming problem areas is already proving extremely popular as is their new Laser Studio for painfree and effective removal of hair.
We attended the launch of these two new attractions and were impressed. We think you will be too!
Make some smoothies. It’s a very easy way to make sure you get your daily allowance of fruits. Be creative.
yOUR new PeRsOnal tRaineR Call Johan Dorfling 072 340 1213
12 Alternate Workouts
Muscles grow when they recover, not while you are training. Don’t do the same routine day after day. There are various split routines you can do. For example, focus on all your pushing exercises on your first day and all your pulling exercises on the second day. Alternatively, split up your days between upper and lower body.
13. Sleep
You need 8 to 10 hours sleep per night for maximum muscle growth. There is no substitute for this so switch off the television early and go to bed.

Renault’s Hilux-fighter – The Alaskan
Renault has been the No.1 Light Commercial Vehicle brand for the past 17 years in Europe. Now Reanult hopes to grab its share of the S.A. bakkie market. The new Renault Duster Oroch bakkie - headed for SA - was launched in Buenos Aires in June 2015
T
his month, they revealed their Alaskan Concept which, they say, “paves the way for a forthcoming model that will have a global calling”.
The new Renault Duster is flexible, adventurous SUV that’s always ready for the road and beyond. Its styling makes it the talk of the town (evan if the town is in the middle of nowhere) and a range of enhanced features make anywhere a destination.
So dare to be adventurous and take a test drive at Renault Ballito today. *With 10% deposit | over 72 months | 30% or R64 770 Ballon Payment | 10% intrest rate | Retail price of R215 900 | Total cost of R280 524 | Retail price is in accordance with 1 September 2015 price list. price excludes “on-the-road” costs Terms and Conditions apply | Features are modle-specific and may vary.

Powering the new bakkie is a 2.3 litre twin-turbodiesel, borrowed from the new Nissan Navara, with outputs ranging from 118kW to 140kW. Its small turbo, says Renault, is ideal for smooth acceleration at low-engine speeds, while a large unit is used for higher revs. The strong chassis makes for great road holding, high ground clearance and distinctive driving comfort, claims Renault. The load bed incorporates three longitudinal recesses suitable for fixing equipment. Additional storage bins either side can secure protection of equipment. Renault claims its Alaskan bakkie combines a payload of one tonne with cutting-edge, athletic styling to meet the exacting needs of business users and individuals alike. The Alaskan Concept’s has an assertive design, sculpted sides and prominent wheel arches a filled with 21”wheels. The front-end features C-shaped LEDs, a prominent logo and the bonnet has four “sculptured ribs”. It has a combination of brushed and polished metal finishes throughout with blue/yellow details on the side-mirrors.

Our first ever outside broadcast was a huge success. We were invited to take part in the Sports Zone Running Co. activity day at the Ballito Junction Shopping Centre and although the weather was a little inclement, the technical broadcast went off without a hitch. We now have the capability to take the station to events across the region so keep listening for news about the next one!
Super Swimmer Chad le Clos popped into the After Lunch Crunch to chat with Danielle Fisher about going for gold and all of that exciting stuff. He loved being on the show and, like Arnold Schwarzenegger said…he’ll be back….
