SHE promised to deliver rich American clients who would pay telephone number prices for some of the nation's most spectacular castles.

He called the boom, but some of his JCI-funded deals raise questions

Mining company JCI is selling off Brett Kebble's property portfolio to settle debt even as it scours the country to find more assets. But it emerges that Kebble also dumped some of his properties in a cash-strapped frenzy before he was murdered in September last year.

Kebble made liberal use of JCI's assets to buy what most people took to be his private properties. The FM understands that most of the properties still held after Kebble's death, plus JCI's two Johannesburg buildings - at 28 Harrison and 84 Fox streets - have been sold for a little over R100m to an undisclosed consortium...

It's ironic that the first few steps many young people take into adulthood are spent unpacking in an eggshell-white dorm room. At a time in life when nothing seems as important as self-expression, one stands, eyebrows knitted, wondering how a tiny, perfunctory room could ever truly reflect individuality, while still abiding by lame rules such as no decorative painting, candles or nails in the walls.

Body pillows, funky desk brighteners and brightly-striped bed rest pillows are only a few items that can be used to brighten up this tiny room.

Mixed reaction to Manuel's tax cuts

A bold cut in the corporate tax rate and the secondary tax on companies is necessary to unleash South Africa's growth potential, but Minister of Finance Trevor Manuel has not taken these steps, says the official opposition Democratic Alliance.
