Legal&You September

Happy Heritage Month to all South Africans
September is a month of celebration and transition. We celebrate our heritages and reflect on the past, while appreciating the first flushes of Spring. In this spirit of growth, we celebrate the key aspects of the hundreds of cultures that thrive and grow with us, changing with every generation of South Africans.

With Legal&Tax you're not alone

This month's articles cover new cultures as well as old traditions and paint a picture of our intricate society, in all its vivid glory.

• We delve into the legal ins and outs of customary marriages and what you need to know before you live traditionally ever after.
  
• We look at ways to make your funeral policy work for you and the traditions of your family, so you can avoid a case of the beneficiary blues.
• As Braai Day approaches for us to celebrate Heritage Day on the 24th, the consequences of cholesterol and hypertension can be avoided.
• On the money front, we examine the Culture of Credit and how much is too much.
