    Society turns to judge women who date men younger than them, even if it's by 2/3 years. However, for men it is somehow acceptable unless a man is 20+ years older than the partner.

    In an article published by the Mail and Guardian this weekend, Dr. Precious Moloi-Motsepe says ‘In the history of South Africa’s liberation women and youth played a pivotal role in defining and realising transformation. Yet, in maintaining this new South Africa, their role has retreated to traditional boundaries. If we want to achieve an inclusive, holistic and full recovery, all voices must be heard. The voices of women and youth, in particular, must be bought to the fore’.

  • Educational /Social conversations - Financial freedom: What is it, and how can you get there?
    As we reflect on Freedom Day in South Africa, perhaps it is a good time to also think about the idea of financial freedom. Many people consider financial freedom to be something elusive, like winning the lottery. But in reality, it is more achievable than people think – provided you are prepared to adjust your lifestyle and expectations somewhat.
    Financial freedom generally means that you have enough money saved to maintain your lifestyle for the rest of your life, without being dependent on a monthly salary. You may choose to keep working, but you have the freedom not to if that suits you better.

  • Legal conversations – The costs involved in administering a deceased estate
    Immediately following a person’s death, the process of winding up his/her deceased estate starts (regardless of whether he/she passes away with a Will or Intestate). But this is not as easy or as cheap as we may think….
    As a reminder – a deceased estate refers to the money and/or property that an individual leaves behind when he/she passes. An estate must then be administered and distributed in terms of the deceased’s will or the Intestate Succession Act 81 of 1987.

  • Legal conversations – Can your side hustle get you fired?
    Relying on a single income may prove unfeasible, but before getting that side hustle off the ground, employees must know what their employment contract and work policy states about supplementing their income with another job or personal business, in case they find themselves facing disciplinary action, says Tertius Wessels, advocate and legal director of Strata-g Labour Solutions.
