Now everyone can go wild!

Every year South African National Parks (SANParks) hosts its SANParks Week in September, Tourism Month, offering South African citizens the chance to visit and get to know their national parks for free.

This year, due to the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) and the lockdown Level 2 regulations which restrict the number of people allowed in public places at one time, SANParks has postponed SANParks Week to November.

Court support for GBV victims

If you have suffered gender-based violence (GBV) and are in need of support at court, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) has a specialised service to assist you.

The Ke Bona Lesedi Court Preparation Programme is available at most Sexual Offences Courts and other courts that deal with GBV. Ke Bona Lesedi means ‘I see the light’ when translated from Setswana. 

Payment holidays could cost more

People who have not been financially impacted by the effects of the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) should continue paying their debt, because payment holidays could cost them more money. 

According to the Office of the Ombud for Financial Services Providers (FAISOmbud), people who are struggling financially must be careful of accepting or applying for payment holidays because this can increase the amount they have to pay back.
