Why not try something new on ?

Ingredients:
2 tbsp olive oil
2 red onions, sliced or chopped
2 sweet red peppers
2 cloves garlic, crushed or chopped
1 tsp chilli powder or cayenne pepper
2 tbsp paprika
2 tomatoes, chopped
2 tbsp tomato paste
½ cup beef stock
1 kg steak mince
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp black pepper
4 hamburger rolls, buttered

How to Make the Burgers:
• Heat the oil in a pan and fry the onions and peppers for about 4 mins until they start to soften, then add the garlic.
• Add the chilli powder or cayenne pepper and paprika.
• Add the tomatoes, tomato paste and beef stock, and stir to combine. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat to a simmer, and allow the flavours to develop and the sauce to thicken.
• Meanwhile, divide the mince into 4 equal sized patties.
• Shape them into rounds, flattening them out quite well, as they will shrink a little during the braaiing process.
• Sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides just before or during braaiing.
• Braai them over very hot coals for 8 minutes, turning once.
• Remove the patties from the braai & rest them for a few minutes.
• Toast the insides of the buttered rolls on the braai for bonus points.

Assemble the burger as follows: roll, patty, sauce, dollop of sour cream, chopped parsley.

Serve immediately!

For many homeowners, the appeal of going partially or fully off-grid is about more than property value. It is about having greater control over essential services and creating a home better equipped to handle interruptions.

But going off-grid is a significant investment, and it isn't necessarily the right solution for every property.

Start With Your Energy Needs
Solar panels, an inverter and battery storage can reduce reliance on the electricity grid and provide backup power when needed. The right system depends on your household's actual electricity consumption, which appliances you want to run and how much backup capacity you require.

Consider Your Water Supply
Water resilience can also be part of a more self-sufficient home. Depending on the property and local regulations, options may include rainwater harvesting, storage tanks or a borehole. Each solution has different installation and operating considerations.

Think About the Long Term
Going off-grid isn't simply about installing equipment. Quality, professional installation, maintenance and appropriate system sizing all matter. Before making a substantial investment, consider the costs involved, the expected lifespan of the equipment and whether the solution genuinely suits your property's location and your household's needs.

What About Resale Value?
Energy and water resilience can be attractive features to prospective buyers, but there is no guarantee that an off-grid investment will be recovered in the eventual selling price. The value will depend on the property, location, quality of the installation and what buyers in that particular market are looking for.

Expert Advice: If you're considering an off-grid solution, look at it as an investment in how you want to live. Any potential benefit to resale value should be considered an added advantage rather than the sole reason for making the investment.

If you have pets, it is worth knowing which common garden plants can be harmful if eaten. Here are five plants found in many South African gardens that pet owners should be aware of.

𝗖𝘆𝗰𝗮𝗱𝘀
Cycads can be highly toxic to pets if eaten, particularly the seeds. Ingestion can cause vomiting, diarrhoea and potentially serious liver damage. Keep fallen seeds away from pets and avoid planting cycads where animals can easily access them.

𝗢𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿
Oleander is often used as a flowering shrub or hedge because it is hardy and requires relatively little maintenance. However, all parts of the plant are toxic if ingested. It can affect the digestive system and heart.

𝗟𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗮 (𝗧𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗿𝘆)
While it attracts butterflies and adds plenty of colour, eating the plant can cause problems for pets, including vomiting, diarrhoea, weakness and, in more serious cases, liver problems. Regularly remove fallen leaves and berries if your pets have access to the garden.

𝗔𝗿𝘂𝗺 𝗟𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘀
Particularly recognisable for their white, funnel-shaped flowers, arum lilies contain compounds that can cause intense irritation of the mouth and throat when chewed, potentially resulting in drooling, swelling and difficulty swallowing.

𝗖𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗮
Clivia is indigenous to southern Africa and is commonly grown in shady areas. Its leaves and roots can be harmful if eaten and may cause vomiting, diarrhoea and other digestive problems.

If you suspect your pet has eaten a potentially toxic plant, contact your veterinarian promptly and, where possible, identify the plant involved.

A pet-friendly garden starts with knowing what is growing in it

16/09/2026

When you sell a property for more than you paid for it, you may make a capital gain. Capital Gains Tax is calculated on the gain, not on the full selling price, and is administered by SARS.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻
For the 2027 tax year (1 March 2026 to 28 February 2027), the primary residence exclusion increased to R3 million, up from R2 million in the previous tax year. For individuals, 40% of the taxable capital gain is included in taxable income. The annual CGT exclusion for individuals has increased from R40,000 to R50,000 for the 2027 tax year.

Importantly, the applicable tax year is generally determined by when the property sale agreement is concluded, rather than when the property is registered. Therefore, a sale agreement signed before 1 March 2026 would generally fall under the previous R2 million primary residence exclusion and R40,000 annual exclusion.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗜𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱?
Your capital gain is broadly calculated by deducting the property's qualifying base cost from the sale proceeds. Base cost can include the original purchase price and certain qualifying expenses, such as transfer costs and capital improvements.

𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀
Keep your original purchase documents, transfer costs, invoices for qualifying improvements and other relevant records. Good documentation can help ensure that legitimate costs are taken into account when calculating your gain.

𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗕𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗹
CGT can be affected by how the property was used, the ownership structure and other circumstances. Your accountant or tax practitioner can calculate your potential liability and advise you on your specific situation.

Thinking of selling your home? I can help you plan the sale and connect you with the right professionals to understand the financial and tax implications of your transaction.

The kitchen is often one of the busiest rooms in the home, so a little organisation can make everyday cooking and cleaning feel much easier.

You don't need a complete kitchen makeover. A few thoughtful changes to how you use your space can make a surprising difference.

𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗞𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗭𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀
Think about how you move through your kitchen and group items according to how you use them. Keep knives and chopping boards close to your main preparation area. Store spices, oils and cooking utensils within easy reach of the stove, and keep everyday dishes and glasses somewhere convenient for serving and unloading the dishwasher. The goal is simple: keep the things you use together, where you naturally need them.

𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗼𝗽𝘀
A clear work surface makes preparing meals much easier. Keep frequently used appliances such as your kettle or toaster accessible, but consider storing seldom-used appliances in a cupboard. You'll gain valuable preparation space while giving the kitchen a cleaner, calmer appearance.

𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲
Don't overlook the backs of cupboard doors, walls and the space inside tall cupboards. Simple racks, hooks and organisers can provide useful storage for spices, chopping boards, foil and other smaller items without taking up valuable countertop space.

𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮 𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘆 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
Keep your most frequently used cooking utensils close to where you prepare or cook food. A simple container for spatulas, wooden spoons and whisks can be both practical and attractive, saving you from constantly opening drawers while you're cooking.

𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗺
The most efficient kitchen is one that follows your routine. Keep pots and pans near the stove, everyday crockery somewhere convenient for serving, and cleaning supplies close to the sink or dishwasher. Take a few minutes to observe how you actually use your kitchen — then organise it around that.

A well-organised kitchen doesn't just look better. It makes everyday life a little easier, one meal at a time.

For many buyers, the first viewing of a property happens online. Before they arrange a physical viewing, they are likely to assess the photographs, floor plan and other visual information available in the listing.

That makes the quality of your property's online presentation an important part of your marketing strategy.

𝗣𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗵𝘆 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻
Professional photography can showcase the space, natural light, proportions and features of your home in the best possible way. Dark, cluttered or poorly composed photographs can make a property difficult to assess and may discourage potential buyers from enquiring. Good photography, on the other hand, gives buyers a clear and appealing first impression.

𝗩𝗶𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀 𝗚𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗕𝘂𝘆𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
A virtual tour allows prospective buyers to explore the layout and flow of a property remotely. This can be particularly useful for buyers who are relocating or considering a property before travelling to view it. It also gives buyers more information before they decide whether an in-person viewing is worthwhile.

𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗙𝘂𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿
A strong digital presentation allows your property to be considered by buyers beyond your immediate area. This can be particularly valuable in markets where buyers are relocating from other provinces or purchasing from overseas. Professional photographs and virtual tours allow them to familiarise themselves with the property before viewing it.

Good photography starts with good preparation. Declutter rooms, clean windows and surfaces, open curtains and blinds, and make sure the property is presented as you would want a buyer to experience it in person. The photographs should accurately represent the property while showing it at its best.

Thinking of selling? I can help you position and present your property effectively, from preparing your home for photography to creating a marketing strategy that puts it in front of the right buyers.

A welcoming guestroom is about more than providing a place to sleep. It is about creating a comfortable space where visitors feel relaxed, cared for and truly at home.

With a few thoughtful touches, an ordinary spare room can become a warm and inviting retreat.

𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁
The bed is the heart of any guestroom. Choose quality linen and add an extra blanket or throw so guests can adjust their comfort.

𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗕𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀
Guests appreciate having room to unpack and settle in. Clear some cupboard space, provide empty hangers and add a luggage rack so suitcases can be kept off the floor. A bedside table and reading lamp are simple additions that make a big difference.

𝗔𝗱𝗱 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀
Small details can make guests feel especially welcome. A carafe of fresh water, a glass, Wi-Fi details and a small basket with useful toiletries show thoughtfulness and consideration.

𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁
Everyone has different preferences when it comes to temperature. Provide options such as an extra blanket in winter or a fan during warmer months so guests can make themselves comfortable.

𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗼𝘂𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀
A good magazine or fresh flowers can add warmth and personality to the room. Keep the décor calm, clean and uncluttered to create a relaxing atmosphere.

A well-prepared guestroom is a simple way to make visitors feel valued and ensure their stay is memorable for all the right reasons.
