If you want to be a winner, go read! “If a property does not blend into the neighbourhood, or is perhaps much bigger than the surrounding houses in a middle-class suburb, lenders may well decide that it will be too difficult to sell in an emergency, and refuse to finance your purchase" says Dr Piet Botha, chairman of the Nationlink estate agency group. From one hill to another - You don't have to be a movie star to sashay down the streets of this hill, but it doesn't hurt if you are - Beverly Hills ... a treasure trove for tourists - There's a story that if the top boulder of this hill were dislodged, all the whites in the country would leave - Lonehill, Gauteng, South Africa.

SA’s greedy homeowners slammed Top estate agent says the biggest threat to the booming residential market is ‘drunk with power’ sellers asking crazy prices for their houses. A LEADING national estate agent says sellers are asking “ridiculous” prices for their houses, which could burst the property bubble. Johannesburg estate agent Lew Geffen, chairman of Sotheby’s International
Realty, warned that sellers were “drunk with power” and needed
to “come to their senses”.

| >> That unique home |
|
Homebuyers should beware the temptation to buy that imaginatively designed house that stands out from all its neighbours because of the turret on the roof and the striking purple plaster around the windows and doors. That unique home may say a lot about your individuality, but it could
cost you dearly in the long run, says DR Piet Botha, chairman of the Nationlink
estate agency group.

| >> Beverly Hills ... a treasure trove for tourists |
|
You don't have to be a movie star to sashay down the streets of Beverly Hills, but it doesn't hurt if you are. Most people know the town from its high-society connections with show business, but it's also a treasure for the tourist. Only 10 miles from Los Angeles International Airport and eight miles from the beach, it's the perfect place for some serious shopping and stargazing.

| >> Gauteng small towns may become super city |
|
Gauteng Premier Mbhazima Shilowa has put forward a plan to transform Gauteng's scattered and struggling municipalities into a super city. The plan is contained in the African National Congress's discussion documents
to be debated at the ninth provincial conference in November.

| >> Focus on Lonehill - Gauteng, South Africa |
|
THERE'S a story that if the top boulder of the Lonehill Koppie were dislodged, all the whites in the country would leave. It's a latter-day version of an Anglo Boer War tale: that if the Boers dislodged the rock, the British would lose the war and leave South Africa. Whatever version you fancy, the top boulder, which balances on several larger boulders, is still firmly there and although some whites have emigrated, most are just as firmly still in the country.

in the second quarter, and the economy is expected to grow by 2.8% in
2004 and 3.1% in 2005, compared with 1.9% in 2003. Mike Schüssler,
senior economist at T-Sec

Beat the fuel price hike The ever-increasing fuel price as a result of skyrocketing oil prices means that motorists will have to tighten their belts even further. As always, a petrol price hike will hit the lower-income earners hardest because they spend greater proportions of their incomes on transport. A petrol price hike will also have direct impact on food costs as manufacturers and transport companies pass the increases on to the consumer. It is impossible to insulate one's finances against higher fuel costs and the effects of inflation. Forward planning, however, can help create efficiencies especially when it comes to running your car.
