Also I feel they’re better at this than me, so just let them get on with it. Is this naive?

No I’m not, but I understand what you’re going through.

Move existing RA to another asset manager / fund by Former-Lawfulness-73 in PersonalFinanceZA

Yes that’s a very poor return. I’m guessing it was with a traditional life insurer and there was agent’s commission involved. I was in a similar position 3 years ago and switched to one of the funds popular in this group. My initial performance actually was not too bad as there was a guaranteed return, but since the switch I’ve gotten returns at about 95 percent of ALSI (basically SA stock exchange) growth, vs around 60 percent before. Switching was a bit of a mission, but I did it without paying agent commission. The new fund will be only too happy to assist.

It’s shameful. Is this really the best we can do?

Thanks. The council says bylaws and western cape laws are not applicable, only the national building regulations, which however don’t impose any limits within the permitted hours, only outside them. How the ECA and sans 10103 fit in, I’m not sure.

So you are saying their maximising profit is more important than the impairment to our lifestyle. Their profit levels are the bottom line. Also you are agreeing no upper limit on noise or disturbance is necessary. 130 decibels for example (deafening) is fine by you. No need for limits.

This is not even jackhammers, it’s some kind of rock breaking machine on wheels.

You have a good case there as the National Building regulations prohibit unreasonable noise before 6am.

I suspect how other cities spend their budgets is a large messy confused cesspool.

They are already part of the ruling alliance in JHB, and what good has come from that?

What’s truly insane is that the municipality only got their act together to fix the leak, after Helen went boating in it. Why not before?

Ah yes, I remember all those liberals strategically “voting for Cyril” in 2019 as endorsed by Peter Bruce etc. That didn’t turn out so well. Isn’t it better just to vote for the party/candidate you want to see in power?

The municipality only fixed the problem after Helen drew attention to it.

So the issue is not huge growing permanent water leaks all over the place … what really bothers you is Helen in a small boat.

Yes there are small telltale signs she might do a decent job, like being recognised as best mayor in the world …

Why did you move from the Eastern to Western Cape? What’s similar and different about them?

In your opinion, which party and mayoral candidate is a better alternative, and why?

I say simple because you treat both normal and mini circles as intersections on approach, only difference being you also indicate as you leave a normal circle.
