Last week, four vehicles filled with donated food, blankets, clothing, and essential supplies were delivered from our offices to the George Disaster Management Centre.

What came through our doors over those few days was a reminder of something deeply reassuring about this community. People showed up. Quietly, generously, and without hesitation.

To every person who dropped off donations, shared the message, or reached out to ask how they could help, THANK YOU. Whether you were a long-standing client, a neighbouring business, a friend, or someone we had never met before, every contribution mattered.

We would also like to thank the George Municipality and the George Disaster Management Centre for the work being done across the region to support affected families and coordinate relief efforts during a very difficult week.

Thank you as well to the George Herald for helping keep the community informed and for amplifying local relief initiatives throughout the week.

“Our office became a small collection point, but the community carried the real weight of it. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who contributed.”
- Isobel Rohwer, Owner & Principal Financial Planner

George has always been a community that shows up for one another, especially when it matters most.

People first. Always.

You jump. But does your insurance?

In late March, The One Financial Solution was proud to be among the sponsors of the South African National Skydiving Championships in Robertson.

The event showcased exceptional talent across multiple disciplines. Our involvement was driven by something more considered.

High-risk activities like skydiving surface a broader truth in financial planning: not all risk is equally understood, and not all risk is equally covered.

Many traditional life and disability policies carry exclusions or limitations around high-risk pursuits. These gaps are often only discovered when it matters most.

As advisors, that is where our responsibility lies.

During the event, we ran a survey across the skydiving community. The objective was clear: to better understand how individuals exposed to non-traditional risk are currently covered, and where the gaps sit.

The insight forms part of a broader initiative. We are developing more relevant, tailored risk solutions for clients whose lives extend beyond the standard underwriting picture.

Our owner and lead principal, Isobel Rohwer, is not only an advisor but an active participant in the sport. She competed at Nationals in the 2-Way FS Open category. That dual perspective, professional and personal, allows her to approach risk with greater depth, clarity, and precision.

Participants who completed the survey were entered into a draw. Congratulations to Simon Bak, who has won R2 500 towards his jump account at a dropzone of his choice.

This work reflects a core principle at The One Financial Solution - Risk evolves. Your cover should too.

We remain committed to identifying overlooked areas of exposure, and to building solutions aligned with the realities our clients actually live, whether in business, lifestyle, or specialised pursuits.

Big News for Small Business Owners in George

For the first time since 2009 - 17 years ago - South Africa’s VAT registration threshold has been raised.

From 1 April 2026, small businesses will only be required to register for VAT once their annual turnover exceeds R2.3 million, up from the previous R1 million.

This is a meaningful change - and one worth understanding.

For many small and growing businesses in our community, this means less administrative burden, simpler bookkeeping, and more freedom to focus on what matters most: building something sustainable.

If your business earns between R1 million and R2.3 million per year, it’s worth asking:

✔️ Can I now avoid compulsory VAT registration?
✔️ Should I consider deregistering from 1 April 2026?
✔️ How does this affect my pricing, cash flow, and planning?

These are exactly the kinds of questions we’re here to help you think through - clearly, honestly, and with your best interests at the centre.

A quiet reminder about digital banking safety.

Recent reports have highlighted a rise in what are known as “RAT” scams - a form of fraud where criminals gain remote access to a person’s phone and operate their banking app from the device itself.

This type of fraud does not rely on stealing passwords. It relies on pressure and urgency.

Typically, it begins with a phone call or message claiming to be from a bank, courier company, service provider or government department. The request feels urgent. A link is sent. An app is installed - often described as a “security” or “verification” tool. In that moment, control of the device can be compromised.

Banks will never ask you to install remote access or screen-sharing software.
Because the activity originates from the customer’s own device, it can initially appear legitimate.

A few practical reminders:
👉🏻If you are being rushed, pause.
👉🏻If you are asked to install software, decline.
👉🏻Never stay on the line while logging into your banking app.
👉🏻If something feels wrong, hang up and contact your bank directly using their official number.

If you suspect your device may have been compromised, contact your bank immediately and disconnect the device from the internet.

Criminal tactics are becoming more sophisticated.
👉🏻Calm judgement remains your strongest defence.

If you would like guidance around protecting your financial life in an increasingly digital world, our team is always available to assist.
