I do not know about you but for sure a race that I do not want to miss. Foreigners place South Africa among the best countries when it comes to buying bargains in property but how will the proposed Revenue Laws Amendment Bill influence their decision to purchase - for South Africa the proposed bill could improve the official and industrial property rental market as foreign companies may choose to sell off their South African property investments and lease instead. This week Johannesburg residents who have applied for boom-gate access control in their streets received verdict on their applications. A total of 324 applications were received -- 309 for existing closures and 15 for new closures. Most of these are in areas such as Midrand, Sandton, Kensington and Randburg. Franschoek, Western Cape, South Africa, a must to visit when visiting the winelands of the Western Cape. Overseas visitors have been quick to seize upon Franschhoek's potential. Many have returned to buy farms and help develop the wine industry; or run guest-houses and restaurants in the village. In Focus on we take a closer look at Franschoek on Bastille Day. To my horror I saw the first Christmas decorations this week in a shopping

visible through the adornments and decorations found on streetlights,
windowsills, rooftops, lawns, doors and homes. This week we share
