TNOTE EDITOR'S
here are moments, as I drive into our estate, when I think back to what it was like 15 or 20 years ago. I’m sure many of you will remember those days too: paging through the old entry book at the gate, waiting while the guard squinted at scribbled handwriting, or fumbling with a tag or card where the reader needed two or three tries before the boom finally lifted. Getting home felt more like a process than a welcome.
How different it is today. The boom rises so quickly (yes, I notice these things!), the fingerprint or facial recognition works instantly, and the whole experience feels smooth and seamless. What has shifted isn’t just the technology. Security itself has changed. It has become something that is everywhere and yet almost invisible. I love that it now works quietly in the background so we don’t have to think about it, and in doing so, it gives us something far more valuable than speed at the gate. It gives us the ability to live inside the estate with both ease and peace of mind.
That is the heart of our Security First feature. It shows how estates have moved beyond the old idea of simply keeping people out to creating a sense of safety that allows life inside to flourish. It’s why we can take those evening walks with the dogs, let our kids ride their bikes, or host
friends without fuss (well, some fuss). Security is no longer a barrier. It is what makes serenity possible, and it’s giving us the best version of estate living we’ve ever known.
This issue also highlights another kind of progress. I was intrigued by the piece on fractional ownership, which explores how innovation in property is opening doors for younger buyers and new families. Just as security has evolved, so too have the ways people can access both the financial benefits and the lifestyle of estate living.
So the next time the boom lifts effortlessly or the scanner recognises you in an instant, take a moment to notice what that really represents. It’s not only about getting in more quickly. It’s a reminder of how far estate living has come, and how innovation, combined with good estate or HOA leadership, continues to make our homes the sanctuaries we’ve always hoped for.

As a luxury interior design studio, every space we curate for our clients is a seamless blend of refined luxury, thoughtful detail, and a story that is uniquely theirs
Bold & Modern ELEGANCE
For the cover story of this edition, luxury interior designers, OLALA Interiors take us through one of their KZN coastal projects where a unique aesthetic and blend of textures, fabrics and dècor effortlessly combine.
Bringing a home to life from an abstract concept requires a combination of skills to create a space that is not only visually striking, but practical and comfortable for everyday living. With over 30 years of creating interiors to reflect and complement their client's lifestyle and taste, OLALA Interiors is the company behind this magnificent home. Their task was to design living spaces that were trendy and chic, balanced with comfort, while staying rooted in the client's personal style and the bold use of the colour black. As an award-winning interior design company with a passion for transforming interior spaces, they embraced the project with enthusiasm and vision.
Located in Zimbali, on KZN’s North Coast, this home, designed by SRA Architects, seamlessly integrates with its natural surroundings. Throughout the home, OLALA Interiors has embraced black as the primary colour to create spaces that are dramatic yet sophisticated, with feature lighting used to supplement the dark tones. Oversized round mesh steel pendants draw the eye upward, emphasising the height and volume of the space. Naturally resistant to rust and corrosion, stainless steel mesh is ideal for humid environments and coastal regions, like Ballito. The woven interplay of richly textured fabrics in shades of graphite, charcoal, and grey softens the architectural edges, beautifully complementing the natural texture of wood and stone, contributing to grounded sophistication and moody elegance.
All custom-curated furniture, designed by OLALA Interiors and manufactured and installed by Built by Design, was crafted to personify the contemporary theme present throughout the home. The kitchen was designed for everyday practicality and stylish entertaining. The kitchen
island top, a fusion of Neolith and Infinity sintered stone was supplied and installed by Afrigran; its frame wrapped in ribbed wood panelling, adds organic warmth and visual texture. Modern, contemporary chairs elevate the ambience with their oval-shaped soft grey velvet backrest and striking black-and-cream patterned jacquard weave seats, while the chefprepping island, housing a PITT 4-burner hob, stone prep bowl, and generous storage, invites both culinary flair and conversation.
For OLALA Interiors, the master suite was an absolute showstopper in this home. Blending cohesive, functional design and planning, the master suite embodies understated luxury and tranquillity. The bespoke headboard, crafted in a warm-toned hardwood and upholstered graphite chenille panels and integrated floating pedestals with light geometric shaped drawer fronts offers tactile comfort and aesthetic appeal. Cream and black scatter cushions in a rich bouclé, and high thread count crisp white sheets add additional comfort. Suspended glass ball pendants with brass detail suggest quiet fluidity adding a sculptural interplay of form and function. Ceiling height, rich black velvet curtains add to the sensory experience and cosiness, whilst the plush underfoot rug with a linear texture blend of black and grey anchors the space, adding contrast and elegance. Every design element was thoughtfully selected to reflect the vision for this room and the rest of this modern sophisticated home.

Situated just across the South African Golela border post, inside Eswatini, this Private Game Reserve is 14,000 hectares of pristine bushveld, like you may never have seen before. On the slopes of the Lebombo Mountains, where Lake Jozini floods northward into Eswatini, this game reserve features five distinct ecosystems, and the
scenery is breathtaking. Over 300 species of birds have been sighted and identified, and with wildlife from leopards and leopard tortoises to exciting tiger fish in Lake Jozini, this is a nature lover’s paradise.

Where you feel a part of creation. Your home in the bush
for up to eight and get together with friends and family. Where the variety of accommodation fits everyone’s needs - from our tented camp for fishing and birding clubs (sleeps 16) to the most basic but comfortable lodge home with a pool, through to ultra luxurious “Out of Africa” comfort and luxury, there’s a place to fit every need.
Find the peace of the wilderness here, as your soul soaks up nature at her best, to heal, restore, and recuperate, away from the rush of city life. Watch the blossoms on the Acacias, the flowers in the wild, the return of the swallows as they come home for summer. Hear the cry of the fish eagle and the rustle of leaves as the Nyala walk through the bush, and where the silent elephants appear seemingly from nowhere. And see the myriad of grasses and the diversity of the trees. This is where you belong. Where you feel a part of creation. Your home in the bush.

More than just a residential estate, it is a thoughtfully designed community for families of all ages, professionals, and investors who value a sense of space, the outdoors, tranquil views, and security.
The Hilton Advantage Hilton has long been celebrated as KwaZulu-Natal’s “garden village,” with tree-lined avenues, a cooler Midlands climate, and a reputation for offering one of the most sought-after lifestyles in the province. The town is home to a collection of world-class schools, medical facilities, and lifestyle amenities, all while retaining its countryside appeal.
A Thoughtfully Designed Estate
A third-generation Hilton College family stands at the helm of the impressive 125-year-old JT Ross Property Groupthe visionary force behind The Avenues Estate. With a deep-rooted passion for the
area and its community, the space aims to harmonise laid-back luxury with simplicity. Generous green spaces, breathtaking views, plenty of walkways, and access to the neighbouring forest plantation make for peaceful runs and walks. Residents can also enjoy sundowner spots, wetland birdlife, and a quiet environment tucked away from busy roads, yet so close to everything you need.
Architecture plays a defining role in shaping the estate’s character. Contemporary homes, with clean lines, natural tones, and stone finishes, complement the surrounding landscape while offering a refreshing take on Midlands charm. Buyers can choose between freehold land to design and build their dream home, or move straight into one of the beautifully finished, developerbuilt Orchard homes.
• Freehold Land: Starting from R875,000 (incl. VAT, no transfer fees)
• Ready-Built Homes: Orchard Village homes from R5.3 million (incl. VAT, no transfer fees)

One of The Avenues Estate’s defining features is its access to everything residents need. The Avenues Centre, an outdoor-style shopping hub within walking distance, provides essentials and local conveniences, from the family-run Pick n Pay, Dis-Chem, hairdressers, and eateries. Velocity Gym, complete with the latest training facilities and Padel courts, adds to the lifestyle appeal right at residents’ doorstep.
Safety and peace of mind are central to the estate’s offering, with 24-hour manned security, electric perimeter fencing, and controlled access. Families will also appreciate that pets are welcome, with rules allowing up to two dogs or cats per home.
Beyond convenience, the estate prioritises connection and community. With recent earthworks completed, residents can look forward to the community centre, which will house a stunning pool, entertainment spaces, and facilities designed to bring neighbours together.
With its thoughtfully designed community, stunning natural surroundings, and top-class amenities, The Avenues Estate is the perfect place to call home.
Unbeatable Location
The estate’s close proximity to some of the leading South African schools is one of its defining propositions. Hilton College, St Anne’s Diocesan College, Grace College, and Cowan House are just a few minutes from the main gate. This location makes it an idyllic, everyday permanent home environment, as well as a great option for those seeking a weekend home base with children attending nearby boarding schools in the general Midlands area.
Hilton Life Hospital, a trusted private medical facility, is less than 1 km away, ensuring peace of mind for families. The town’s mix of restaurants, cafés, and outdoor leisure options makes
Hilton a place where weekends are as fulfilling as weekdays are convenient.

Wallpro is transforming your Walls into artful masterpieces
Sometimes your space is missing that final touch to make it uniquely yours, something that represents you like a favourite band, superhero, quote, or landscape scenery. A poster might fall off, and wallpaper can peel, so Wallpro has developed a different way to personalise that last wall or room. Wallpro is the first specialised wall printing company in KZN. This means that they print designs directly onto your wall using innovative technology. Wallpro came to life in January of 2025, started by Ilana Liebenberg, “Being a teacher my whole working life, I just needed a change. I was presented with the opportunity to start my own business in something so exciting, I just couldn’t not give it a go!” Ilana exclaims. Being a unique concept, it was difficult to get the word out about their work at first. “I’m sure you can imagine how difficult cold calling was when people had never even heard of wall printing before. But now that we have got ourselves out there and been able to showcase what we can do, the response has been overwhelming!” she explains.
So how does this technology work? Well, they print directly onto the wall using UV ink. It cures instantly, so there’s no risk of smudging, drips or peeling. “We are able to print at a resolution of 300ppi, which is extremely high resolution,” Ilana elaborates.
be indoors and with limited exposure to sunlight. Wallpro offers a 12-year indoor guarantee on prints as long as the image is not in direct sunlight. They print on almost any vertical surface, with most of their work done on dry walls and plastered walls. “But we can also print on concrete, wood, and glass,” Ilana adds. Being versatile, their prints can be done in bedrooms, garages, offices, schools, theatrical backgrounds, and more.
“Our image can be completely bespoke to our clients’ needs.” From the beginning of the process, the biggest hurdle is deciding on which image you would like to use and ensuring the quality of the image is compatible, and Wallpro guides you every step of the way. “If a client has a print-ready image, we can arrange to print as early as the next day, so speed from inception to final print can be extremely quick,” Ilana says. Set up is easy; the team needs approximately a metre from the wall for the printer, they will inspect the site before beginning just to double check the measurements, and will engage with the client if assistance is needed.
To keep your print in the best condition, it is recommended to
Of all the projects they’ve completed to date, there are a few that stand out to them and inspire them to keep going. “My most memorable print has to be our very first one at Bright Buttons Preschool, where I taught for seven years. We printed their school badge, which made it even more special,” Ilana reminisces. If you attended this year’s East Coast Radio House + Garden Show, you would have spotted Wallpro’s incredible booth, with a live demonstration of their technology! “Our most challenging print was definitely the 10-metre-wide piece we created for the House + Garden Show. It took seven and a half hours to complete, making it one of our biggest undertakings to date!” she explains.
The sky’s the limit with what Wallpro can do with this technology. Get in touch for your next project!

Local Real Estate Clinches Awards in Simbithi Eco-Estate
Celebrating excellence in the property sector, Local Real Estate is proud to be the recipient of two awards: the Top Selling Estate Agency Award for Simbithi Eco-Estate, plus Rory Anderson, a standout performer within the team, attained the Top Selling Property Practitioner Award for Simbithi EcoEstate for the 6th consecutive year.
Both these awards are based on performance, and this remarkable achievement not only builds on the consistently strong sales momentum the Local Real Estate team has been driving over the past three years, but also reflects the trust that clients continue to place in them. “We would like to thank all our amazing clients for making this achievement possible,”
shares Graham White, Managing Director of Local Real Estate. “When we launched our independent Local Real Estate brand three years ago, with most of our agents who had worked together with us under a national brand for over nine years in our team, we wanted to prove that accountability, transparency, professionalism, deep market knowledge, best practice, nurturing long term relationships, and a consistently strong sales performance is what clients value,” he explains. “We have built these values into the core of our company ethos and now pride ourselves on delivering an unmatched property experience. Our top-selling position within Simbithi Eco-Estate is more than just a number to us; it’s a reflection of our team’s passion for connecting people and property.”
Graham White continues, “It is always a team that creates success. Our accomplishments, attaining a 38% increase in property listings, and a 64.72% year on year increase in our combined team’s sales figures are attributable to an expert team of talented property practitioners, supported by administrative staff, who are all committed to a high level of integrity and professionalism while sharing a culture of hard work, honesty and consistency. Our team works in unison with constant internal communication, ensuring we are servicing our clients’ needs to the max. Many transactions are done with more than one agent being involved, meaning our clients are never working with just one expert, but a number of experts when they decide to list or view with us. Additionally, many of our agents
Our team works in unison with constant internal communication, ensuring we are servicing our clients’ needs to the max
live in Simbithi, so they completely understand the Simbithi way of life and what it has to offer, which also makes them great experts in the estate.”
In securing the No. 1 sales position once again, Rory Anderson has firmly cemented his place as a frontrunner in a highly competitive environment, outperforming more than 139 property practitioners from 20 different agencies within Simbithi Eco-Estate. His year-on-year sales growth of 59.77% reflects a resultsdriven approach underpinned by market insight, consistency, and strong client rapport. Rory has perfected an approach of providing both buyers and sellers with a highly personalised, end-to-end property service with bespoke guidance through every stage of the property journey. Dominating the digital search space, the value of an experienced property practitioner remains irreplaceable. “I deeply value my client relationships, and because I live in Simbithi, I’m not just selling homes - I’m sharing a lifestyle I genuinely believe in. Our team is also supported by ongoing training and the added advantage of exceptional
legal advisors, bond originators, and professional photography services - all of which we fully leverage to deliver exceptional results.”
For Rory, his career in real estate has become a defining passion and lifestyle. Not being fond of comfort zones, Rory’s dedication to his craft has driven him on an upward trajectory. He consistently sets ambitious performance goals and meets them by combining deep market knowledge, a relentless work ethic, disciplined execution and a commitment to delivering meaningful results for every client. It takes years of consistent dedication and countless successful real estate transactions to build the kind of repeat and referral business that the Local Real Estate Simbithi team continues to cultivate.
Their hands-on approach, energy, and passion for property are making a measurable difference in one of the country’s most desirable estates.

the Heart of Every Piece Heritage
Get inspired to decorate your home with the specialities of our country.
At Vukari, our work is a tribute to the profound relationship between the amaZulu people and the Nguni cattle; a bond that extends beyond agriculture into the spiritual, cultural, and social fabric of Southern Africa. Nguni cattle have long been symbols of wealth, beauty, and legacy within Zulu culture; each hide pattern is unique and almost storytelling in itself. We carry this spirit forward by not just preserving the natural elegance of the hide but by enhancing it with handcrafted animal forms and narratives that reflect African mythology, wildlife, and tradition. Every piece we create is a layered story - of ancestry, reverence, and craftsmanship.
The Founder’s Lifelong Passion for Community Upliftment
The spark was the moment Barry Leitch embarked on his first
community-focused projects at just 20-years-old, a defining act that would seed the ethos behind Vukari’s mission. From that early age, he committed himself to serving and nurturing rural communities - efforts rooted in his upbringing and a deep sense of identity tied to those environments. Vukari is the continuation of that mission: to create not only art, but also dignity, employment, and pride in the communities we work with.
From Hide to Art
It begins with the careful selection of hides based on their quality, markings, and story. We often use smaller cuts of hide to sculpt African animals or symbolic shapes directly onto the surface. Each piece is hand-stitched and finished with precision. What starts as a raw material becomes a visual narrative, a fusion of traditional techniques and modern design.
Styling Tips for Modern AfricanInspired Décor
Less is often more. Let your statement piece, whether a hide rug or wall art, be the focal point, and complement it with neutral tones, organic textures, or modern furnishings. African art doesn’t have to be loud to be powerful. Incorporate natural elements like wood, clay, and linen to ground the space. And most importantly, choose pieces that resonate with you - not just aesthetically, but emotionally. That’s where true style lies.
Making the Right Statement
It depends on how you want to experience the piece. Rugs bring warmth and texture to a room, grounding the space both visually and physically. Wall décor, on the other hand, acts as a bold visual statement. It is a conversation piece that brings cultural depth to a blank canvas. If your floor space looks busy, go vertical. If your walls are full but your floors need character, let the rug speak. In some homes, both work beautifully in harmony.
Caring for Your Nguni Hide Masterpiece
Nguni hides are surprisingly low-maintenance. For rugs, regular shaking or a gentle brush is enough. If there’s a spill, blot immediately with a damp cloth - avoid soaking or harsh chemicals. Keep the hide out of direct sunlight to prevent fading, and rotate it occasionally to ensure even wear.
For wall pieces, a gentle dusting is sufficient. With the right care, a Vukari piece can last a lifetimeand even become an heirloom.

How estate living in KZN keeps you safe
When it comes to choosing the perfect place to live, safety is one of the biggest deciding factors - especially in KwaZulu-Natal, where estate living goes hand in hand with a secure lifestyle. Over the years, security in residential estates has evolved, integrating the latest technology, round-the-clock monitoring, and layered systems to ensure residents can live and sleep in peace.
Here’s how some of KZN’s top estates are prioritising security, and what you should look out for when considering a move:
At Simbithi Eco-Estate, the heart of their security network is a 24-hour central Control Room. Operated in partnership with Fidelity Security Services, this high-tech hub ensures every aspect of resident and guest safety is monitored and managed in real-time.
Controlled access remains one of the most important pillars of estate security. Seaton Estate restricts entry exclusively to homeowners and residents through their Homeowners Association, ensuring privacy and safety.
Elaleni and Amberglen have stepped it up with biometric access - making it nearly impossible for unauthorised individuals to gain entry. Amberglen further strengthens its access system with vehicle number plate recognition for residents and 24-hour manned entry points.
Seaward Estates and Ballito Bliss also offer 24/7 access control and patrols. Ballito Bliss boasts double-layer security - a testament to the growing demand for multi-tiered protection.
Perimeter security has advanced significantly. Amberglen uses thermal cameras to monitor its boundaries, enhanced with electric fencing and active patrols. Similarly, Le Domaine combines a 2.5-metre wall with metal palisade fencing, topped with an electric
fence and electronic zone detection, creating a formidable barrier around the estate.
Estates are increasingly using smart technology to elevate their security. At Zimbali Lakes, fibreoptic-enabled communications and real-time response systems are in place, ensuring help is always just a moment away. Trained personnel conduct regular foot patrols, ensuring physical presence complements tech-based vigilance.

Peace of mind starts at the gate
Future Trends in Estate Security
Salt Rock City combines advanced technology with hands-on guard patrols, a best-of-both-worlds approach that residents can rely on.
What to Look for When Choosing a Secure Estate
• Controlled or biometric access for all entries and exits
• 24/7 patrols and on-site security personnel
• CCTV and thermal imaging surveillance systems

A MISSION TO EMPOWER
Meet Shareez Bagaria, a life coach’s journey into children’s books
The Journey & Message
Luna’s Journey was born during the isolation of COVID-19, when life coach and children’s author Shareez Bagaria finally had time to pursue her dream of writing. “My daughter was fouryears-old at the time and had many questions about the virus,” she shares. “There was no content available for young children on the topic, so I decided that Luna Learns About the Virus would be a great start.” Inspired by a lifelong love of reading, instilled by her late father, Shareez crafted the series to help children build emotional intelligence. “It’s extremely important as parents and educators to teach not just IQ, but EQ - so children become mentally strong.” Many story elements are drawn from real experiences, including a sports day challenge faced by her daughter. “Resilience is like a muscle - the more you use it, the stronger you get,” she explains. The message is clear: failure isn’t final, and with self-belief, kids can keep rising.
Writing for Children
Although the dream was always there, it was Shareez’s coaching career that added depth to her storytelling. “As I reflect on how powerful coaching tools and methods can be for both adults and children, my desire to write only grew,” she explains. Publishing with Penguin Kids SA turned that dream into reality. She describes the process as “nothing short of amazing,” with a team passionate about home-grown South African stories. Her writing style is influenced by childhood favourites: “I loved Dr Seuss for his rhyming style - it was so easy to recite - and Enid Blyton for the adventure and excitement. Oh, and we also read a lot of The Adventures of Tintin!” To anyone wanting to make a difference through stories, she advises: “Begin with the end in mind. What is the purpose of the story? What impact do you wish to make? And then just do itput pen to paper and get it done.”
Speaking & Connecting with Kids
Nothing affirms Shareez’s mission more than hearing how her books resonate with young readers. One particularly touching moment came after publishing Luna Learns About Consent, when a friend’s daughter told her, “No, I don’t like to be hugged,” confidently applying a key lesson from the book. “That was heartwarming,” Shareez recalls. She believes storytelling is more effective than traditional advice because of its emotional connection. “Everyone loves a good story, especially when it’s rooted in real-life experiences - it’s more meaningful and impactful.” Through her stories, she helps children explore themes of self-worth, bravery, and personal boundaries.
Personal & Future Projects
Moments of impact, like seeing her book at the entrance of Exclusive Books at the airport, have been surreal for Shareez. But more than the achievement, it’s the children’s responses that stay with her. “Hearing them repeat after me, ‘I am loved, I am a gift to the world,’ is truly special.” Her own life, filled with personal challenges and emotional growth, continues to inspire her writing. “I’ve had to ‘dig deep’ many times,” she says, recalling lessons in resilience. If Luna could speak directly to children, she’d encourage them to “be good, be kind, but always speak your mind,” and to “never, ever, ever, ever quit.”

Aviva at Emberton Estate
A Final Opportunity to Live in Full Colour
Set in the leafy heart of Hillcrest, Aviva at Emberton Estate represents the last chapter in one of KwaZulu-Natal’s most soughtafter residential communities.
Developed by Collins Residential, this final phase introduces modern apartment living without losing sight of the timeless appeal that has made Emberton Estate a lifestyle destination.
Aviva is designed for those who value convenience, comfort, and community. The development features stylish studio, one-, two and three-bedroom apartments starting from just R845,000. Each unit embraces open-plan layouts, abundant natural light, and contemporary finishes, while the three-storey walk-up design enhances the estate’s village feel. A dedicated parking bay is included, with the option to purchase an additional space - ideal for lockup-and-go living.
Location remains one of Aviva’s greatest strengths. Nestled just off the N3 and M13 highways, residents are less than 30 minutes from Durban while enjoying Hillcrest’s lush landscapes, reputable schools, and thriving social scene. From nature reserves and golf courses to trendy restaurants and shopping malls, the area blends suburban tranquillity with urban convenience.
Architecturally, Emberton’s “urban farm” aesthetic pays homage to Hillcrest’s agricultural legacy, delivering a unique yet timeless design language. Beyond beautiful homes, the estate champions lifestyle: an iconic clubhouse housed
in a restored 100-year-old farmhouse with Ray’s Kitchen at its heart, along with pools, tennis and padel court, a children’s play area, walking trails, and even onsite gym facilities. With 24-hour security, fibre connectivity, and sustainable touches such as gas hobs and inverter readiness, Aviva ensures modern living that is both vibrant and responsible.
For investors, Aviva presents a rare opportunity: gross rental yields of up to 9.14% per annum, with no transfer duty and deposits from only R5,000. For homeowners, it’s the chance to secure a home within a flourishing, established estate - an investment in lifestyle as much as property. Aviva at Emberton Estate is the gateway to a new way of life in full colour. With limited opportunities available, and the first block being move-in ready in 2025, this final release invites discerning buyers to be part of Hillcrest’s most celebrated estate community.

A New Path to
Property
innovative solutions for a changing generation
supplied By RainmakeR maRketing
South Africa’s rising generation confronts mounting barriers to homeownership, from economic instability to outdated financial models. A new approach to property is taking shape, one that is inclusive, flexible, and tailored to how young people live and earn today. At the forefront of this transformation is FracProp, a proptech platform pioneering accessible pathways to property ownership through fractional ownership, group property purchases, and home rescue products; these are all tech-enabled solutions. Palesa Masiteng, CEO of FracProp, develops and works with these alternative models to reshape what it means to own property in South Africa.
For as long as we can remember, owning a home has been the ultimate symbol of financial success, something you work towards for years, following the traditional script: graduate, get a stable job, clear your debts, save up for a deposit, and finally, buy a home. Simple, right? But here’s the truth: that model is outdated. For South Africans under the age of 30 years old today, homeownership feels like a distant dream thanks to skyrocketing property prices, student debt, job uncertainty, and rising rental costs. It often seems like homeownership, especially in estates, is an unattainable goal or just irrelevant to our lives right now.
A Fresh Way to Save & Plan
For many young people, saving for a home feels like a mountain that’s impossible to climb. With rising living costs and stagnant wages, it’s easy to feel stuck. But there are smarter ways
to build toward ownership, even when money is tight. Of course, the basics still matter, like automating savings, cutting back on non-essentials, and putting a side hustle income toward your goals. But here’s the gamechanger: collaboration. FracProp created the Developer Fund, where community groups can purchase a slice in top-tier developments, giving you access to opportunities that would usually be out of reach alone.
Choosing the Right Property for Today’s World
A huge mistake many first-time buyers make is choosing a property that looks good on paper but doesn’t align with how we live. We’re a mobile, entrepreneurial generation, often working remotely or bouncing between cities. The properties that make sense for us are those that align with our lifestyle and have long-term financial potential.
Think mixed-use developments, urban hotspots and tourism nodes, or areas that are great for short-term rentals. And then there’s the exciting rise of apart-hotels. These hybrid spaces combine home comforts with hotel-style amenities, which is perfect for digital nomads or hybrid workers. Fractional ownership in these properties gives young buyers exposure to high-demand markets without taking on all the financial risk.
The Industry Must Evolve Or Risk Falling Behind
If we really want to create generational wealth, the property industry needs to catch up with how young people live, earn, and think. Right now, too much of the system is bogged down by oldschool processes, rigid financing requirements, and exclusionary practices. What we need are flexible, inclusive property models and financial education that’s digital, simple, and free of jargon. Above all, we need the industry to recognise these new models as legitimate forms of ownership.
Alternative Ownership Isn’t a TrendIt’s the Future
The challenges facing today’s under-30s aren’t theoretical. They’re real, and they’re systemic. From high unemployment rates to fluctuating incomes and a lack of intergenerational wealth, traditional homeownership models just don’t work for us anymore. But here’s the good news: there are alternatives. Fractional ownership, group and rent-to-own options are opening new paths to property ownership. These models allow you to get in at a lower cost, share risk, and still build real equity. This isn’t about bypassing the traditional property market but rather creating a better, more inclusive version of it.
Reframing Wealth: It’s About Assets, Not Just Savings
The biggest roadblocks for young people aren’t just financial, they're mental. The fear of not knowing enough, the fear of making the wrong move, the feeling that “I’ll never catch up” can be overwhelming.
It’s time to stop thinking of wealth as just the money sitting in your bank account. Wealth is about assets that grow, create opportunities, and set you up for the future. Property, when approached in a smart and inclusive way, can still be one of the best vehicles for long-term transformation. Even owning a fraction of the right property can completely change your financial trajectory.
Manager at Amberglen, bringing my technical, managerial, and project experience to ensure the seamless operation of this special community.
What do you love most about your job?
Hi. I’m
Your Estate Manager
Tell us a bit about yourself and your estate
I've been a resident of Merrivale, Howick, for the past five years. Prior to that, I spent 37 years in Estcourt, where I completed my schooling in 1986. In my free time, I enjoy tinkering with our motorbikes, embarking on long rides, and spending quality time with my family. I'm fortunate to work with a fantastic team at Amberglen Retirement Village, situated in Howick, Midlands. The village boasts 430 homes, a 45-bed care centre, and an array of amenities, including an indoor heated swimming pool, library, and a spacious community centre with various function rooms and a large dining room.
As the head of our Estates department, I oversee our 12-person maintenance team, while our 19-person gardens department cares for the beautiful grounds.
How did you end up being the estate manager for Amberglen Retirement Village?
I qualified as an electrician in 1993 through Masonite Africa, and subsequently spent 15 years with Eskom, where I progressed to the role of Technical Supervisor. Following a four-year stint running my own business, I joined a global engineering firm as a Project Manager in the energy sector, a position I held for eight years. In 2020, I took on the role of Estate
I enjoy the variety that comes with managing our estate. Our skilled staff enable us to handle electrical, plumbing, and civil work in-house, which means every day brings new challenges and goals. I have the pleasure of working in a truly stunning environment, surrounded by wildlife, birdlife, beautifully manicured gardens, and a dam.
What challenges do you face as an estate manager?
One of the main challenges is balancing scheduled projects with urgent breakdowns across the estate and residents' homes. Given the diverse range of tasks we undertake - from infrastructure repairs to emergency responses - effective time management is crucial to ensure that both planned and reactive work are handled efficiently.
What makes Amberglen Retirement Village special to you?
The closeness of our residents creates a truly special community. Our management staff are exceptional and work together as a cohesive team, making the atmosphere feel more like a lifestyle than a job. Amberglen truly feels like a family, thanks to our caring and supportive environment where everyone looks out for one another.
Screen Time TipS
Iusually work with two screens, and I recently discovered that I can split my second screen into two windows! I can now have spreadsheets and Instagram open while I answer emails and write, occasionally switching between them whenever one of them catches my attention. Initially, I thought I was being productive, but I soon realised that I was being overstimulated by all of the information from the different sources.
Technology is all around us, and we rely on various devices for communication, work, and entertainment. So, what are some ways we can still make full use of our technological devices, but in a healthier way?
Here are a few tips that might help with that:
Set timers on your applications and screen time
This will help prevent “doom scrolling” and encourage you to use your phone when you need to for a specific reason. You wouldn’t want to waste your daily limit of screen time! These are especially essential for social media, which seems to just absorb all of your time as the videos and posts keep coming.
Turn on blue light filters
Also called a “night light”, turning this feature on your devices helps reduce strain and helps you fall asleep more easily by filtering the blue light emitted by all electronic devices.
Do not disturb modes
Also called “focus modes”. Sometimes, seeing that notification makes us want to answer, even if it’s not urgent, and this can divert our attention away from our current task. Using this mode,
even if it’s just for an hour, gives you that uninterrupted time you need to stay focused. Resist reaching for your phone, though, I know it can be tough!
Allocate tech-free times or spaces Is the “do not disturb” not working because your devices are right in front of you? Create the time for yourself! I know it’s easier said than done, but if it means choosing your bedroom as the tech-free space an hour before you go to bed (which really helps with sleep), it’s a benefit! Charging your phone in another room also helps eliminate the need to reach for it all the time.
Take breaks to move
It’s easy to sit in front of our screens (phone or pc), for hours on end, lost in our work or that movie broken up into 20 parts on social media.
Timers and wearable tech come in handy here to remind you to step away from the screen for a few minutes to stretch, rest your eyes, or go outside for some fresh air.
You can find these in your electronic device’s settings and apps. It’s just a few simple steps that can make a huge difference.
Can Homeowners Associations Be Under
Administration?
woRds maRina COnStaS
At the recent Paddocks Industry Summit held on 30 July, 2025, a pressing governance question was raised: Should the legal mechanisms that apply to Sectional Title schemes be extended to Homeowners Associations (HOAs)?
Kobus de Beer, a member of the Sectional Title Schemes Management Advisory Council, revealed that the Council has identified serious irregularities in the appointment and conduct of scheme administrators. He argued that more robust regulation and the appointment of qualified professionals to these roles are essential.
Currently, only Sectional Title Schemes can be placed under administration, in terms of Section 16 of the Sectional Titles Schemes Management Act (STSMA). This section allows a Magistrates Court to appoint an Administrator if a Body Corporate is unable to perform its functions due to trustee conflict, mismanagement, or neglect. The Administrator then steps into the role of the Trustees, assuming their powers and duties to restore order and functionality.
A Body Corporate, a local municipality, a judgement creditor of the Body Corporate, or any owner or other person having a registered right over a unit may apply to the Court to appoint an Administrator. The Administrator should, in terms of the legislation, provide written reports on the administration process every three months and lodge them with the Community Schemes Ombud Service.
HOAs, however, remain outside this legal protectioneven when faced with dysfunction.
While Section 16 has offered a legal safety net for Sectional Title Bodies Corporate, HOAs are left exposed. We’ve seen too many dysfunctional Homeowners’ Associations where no recourse exists other than drawn-out litigation. It’s time to align the legal remedies across all scheme types.
However, the existing system also needs refinement. I fully support the call for tightening up on how administrators operate. We’ve all heard the horror stories - unqualified administrators mismanaging schemes, overcharging, or simply failing to act. If we’re going to expand the power to place schemes under administration, we must also professionalise the role and create clear standards of conduct.
If the proposed amendments to the Community Schemes Ombud Service Act are adopted, HOAs may soon join Sectional Title schemes in having access to court-appointed administrators - marking a critical step forward for governance and accountability in the Community Schemes sector.

Getting on Top of your Personal Finances
Can you believe it? We are already in September, and that means that the countdown to Christmas has started! Now is the time to take stock of your finances, and planning your finances for the holidays should be at the top of your planning list.
Here are our top tips to help with your planning:
• Be sure you have an accurate record of all your debts and liabilities. Aim to pay off the most expensive debt or the debts with the smallest balances first. Shortterm personal loans and credit cards would normally be the most expensive debt.
• Draw up a monthly budget showing your net income (plus that of your partner/spouse, where appropriate) as well as all your fixed monthly commitments. Budget for the discretionary items like entertainment and leisure activities too. Keep a record of your actual expenditure and keep it in line with your budget.
• Re-look at all your expenses and cut out any unnecessary fat. Shop the market to ensure you are getting the best deal with items like insurance, medical aid, etc.
• Once you have paid off the short-term expensive debt, start a monthly savings account. It is important that you save a fixed amount as soon as you get paid each month. What’s left is what you have to spend for the month, so the key thing is to save first and spend what’s left, not the other way around.
• Be sure to live within your means. Avoid spending money on things that look fancy or flashy when you cannot afford them. A good policy is always to pay cash, and if you don’t have the cash, then it generally means you can’t afford it.
• The ultimate measure of your wealth (or lack thereof) is your net asset value, and this is calculated as the market price of all your assets less the settlement value of all your liabilities. This number is very important as this is the number that will need to sustain
you and your family when you one day retire. A good idea would be to set yourself a goal for your net asset value and every year measure this value to see if it's growing in line with your goal.
• If you are a registered taxpayer, ensure you engage the services of a competent tax practitioner to legally claim all the allowable deductions on your annual taxes.
Interest Rates & Good Debt
woRds SteFan BOtHa
South Africa’s prime lending rate now sits at 10.5% after two cuts this year. That means the cost of borrowing is the lowest it has been since 2022. For property buyers, whether you are considering your first home, adding an investment unit, or upgrading your lifestyle, this creates a valuable window of opportunity.
Debt often has a bad reputation, but not all debt is inherently bad. Good debt is finance that helps you acquire an asset that grows in value and builds long-term security. Property is the clearest example. A mortgage bond is not just a repayment plan but a tool that lets you lock in today’s prices while benefitting from tomorrow’s growth. If you purchase a property that later appreciates, the upside is yours, even though most of the capital was financed by the bank. That is the power of good debt when used wisely.
Where and why you buy matters just as much. Estates on the KZN North Coast and in established Western Cape nodes continue to stand out for both capital appreciation and lifestyle demand. These are markets shaped by semi-gration, strong local economies, and limited supply, which are the kind of fundamentals that support long-term value. At the same time, buyers need to be clear about their purpose. Are you purchasing for capital growth, for rental yield, or as a primary residence? Each goal requires a different mindset and appetite for risk.
It is also critical to know who you are buying from. A developer’s track record can make all the
difference. Credibility ensures delivery, quality, and resale value.
Finally, discipline is essential. Stay within your affordability and ensure that you budget for levies, rates, and possible rental vacancies, as well as build in buffers for the unexpected.
Quick tips for buyers
• Be clear on purpose upfront in terms of capital growth, yield, or lifestyle.
• Choose location wisely: KZN North Coast and Western Cape nodes continue to outperform.
• Check the developer’s track record.
• Budget wisely.
• The bottom line is simple. Debt used carelessly can trap you, but debt used strategically is one of the most effective ways to build wealth. With interest rates easing and market sentiment improving based on greater affordability, now is the time to consider making moves that create stability, security, and long-term growth.
Good debt is finance that helps you acquire an asset that grows in value and builds long-term security
