Spring cleaning isn’t only about getting rid of old things.

Sometimes it means checking whether the important things still fit your life.

Marriage. Divorce. Children. A new home. More debt. Different responsibilities.

If your life has changed, your life cover—and the people named on it—may need to change too.

Today’s small adulting job: Check your beneficiaries.

Happy Spring Day! 🌞

Spring is apparently the season when responsible adults clean the house, clear out the cupboards and finally deal with everything they’ve been ignoring since last year.

While you’re in there, you may notice a few things you’ve accumulated along the way.

A new TV. A phone. A laptop. Appliances. Furniture. Maybe even a new car.

Your possessions changed. Did your insurance keep up?

This September, we’re tackling The Pain of Adulting: Spring Cleaning—one small job at a time.

🔥 A veld fire doesn’t have to start on your property to become your problem.

Late winter brings dry grass, warmer days and wind—conditions in which a small fire can spread frighteningly fast.

Now is the time to:

✓ Clear dry vegetation around buildings and boundary walls
✓ Check fire extinguishers and hosepipes
✓ Keep gutters and outdoor areas free of combustible material
✓ Review your building, contents and liability cover
✓ Make sure your sums insured reflect today’s replacement costs

Insurance cannot prevent a fire—but the right cover can determine whether you recover from one.

Not sure whether your home or business is properly protected? Let Topster review your cover before the smoke appears.

In the spirit of celebrating we would like to thank our Insurers and underwriters as well.
Its been a journey, quite a few logos, I am looking for the old ones to create the journey for all of us; to notice the growth, not in image but in client service.
The business relationships we have with Underwriters and Insurers through the years. There are the ones that have always stuck it through and new "kids" on the block. We would like to thank each and every one of them and heres to another 30years of exceptional service.

Let OP!

Chery International (Pty) Ltd will be implementing a new Parts system, which will require a temporary closure of the Parts Department from 28 January to 9 February 2026.

This will affect you if your Chery is in for repairs, and you should be aware of this if you are involved in an accident, as it can delay the repair process.

During this period no new parts orders will be accepted, dispatched or processed. Chery’s Parts operations resume on 10 February 2026.

Older drivers getting targeted - Please be aware or a link being passed around asking you to upload a medical certificate to a website as requested by Department of transport. this is a scam.

Here’s the reality on South African driver’s licence renewals in 2025:

📍 What we know and the law says...

In South Africa, driver’s licences must be renewed every 5 years, and the standard process applies to everyone regardless of age. Renewals include an eye test and fingerprinting, but there is no special separate online upload medical letter requirement sent by email specifically for “seniors” over 72 as a standalone new rule.
Government of South Africa

The official Department of Transport / RTMC information does not show any government-issued policy that forces people over a certain age to upload a doctor’s letter by email to some third-party link before a deadline in a “mandatory senior driving licence renewal” campaign.
Africa Check

Some unofficial sites and social posts are spreading a narrative that “drivers over 70 must complete vision tests and medical declarations before renewing” before an arbitrary deadline, but:

These pages are not official government or RTMC sites and seem to be copying or inventing requirements with no legal backing.

The official government portal does not list age-based medical upload deadlines like that.
Government of South Africa

Look out for these signs:

If the email came from a non-government email address (anything not ending in a verified gov.za domain),

Includes links that don’t go to an official NatIS/Department of Transport website, or

Pressures the recipient with threats (suspension, fines, forced medical checks),

…then treat it as phishing / scam.

✅ How to check before acting

Do not click the link in the email.

Visit the official licence renewal portal directly via:
https://www.gov.za/services/driving-licence/renew-driving-licence

Government of South Africa

Contact your local Driving Licence Testing Centre (DLTC) or NatIS office and ask if that email came from them.

If it was a phishing email, report it to the DLTC/RTMC and delete it.
