go! IEC chair Brigalia Bam, said she had never been this anxious about
an election despite the run-up preparations running smoothly. She said
she had been amazed at the growth in political maturity since independence
and this was highlighted by how seriously the parties had adopted the
code of conduct.
Land is a highly sensitive issue in South Africa and might just play a major role when casting votes.

Trying to buy a home near the peak of a sellers' market can be a frustrating

homes they viewed just a few days ago and reading about ever-climbing
prices can so discourage potential buyers that they withdraw from the
market. |

Choose your bond carefully
Until fairly recently, prospective homeowners, especially first-time buyers, often chose a home loan product on interest rates alone: the financial institution that offered them the lowest mortgage rate got their business. Following international trends, South African banks have introduced several innovations in the past year or two to differentiate their home loan offerings, but too much choice can be confusing as you try to steer your way through a sea of new and enhanced products. |
| >> Focus on Pretoria, South Africa |
|
Pretoria is the administrative capital of South Africa and is situated in the Province of Gauteng. It is a very pleasant and cosmopolitan city, situated in the transitional area between the Highveld and the Bushveld. As a result of its location, Pretoria has a particularly abundant variety of birdlife. Pretoria is situated approximately 50 km north of Johannesburg. It lies in a warm, well sheltered, fertile valley, surrounded by the hills of the Magaliesberg range. Since 2000 it has been incorporated into the metropolitan area of Tshwane. |
