@mapzorchards While the debt review removal was processed on our side, it appears the update may not yet be reflecting across all third‑party verification systems. This does not mean you are still under debt review, but that synchronisation is still in progress. WB

@WesBank And you tell me why is it still saying it’s NOT removed and sending me emails of resolution shows it was a waste of my time as I cannot purchase a car now. bcoz of the flag on your side when an independent company gets to either @FNBSA or YOU. This is flipping traumatic

@FNBSA @WesBank I am so irate right now due to the continuous incompetence I get from both of you. After emails sent to both institutions, emails to your Risk department via Zukiswa Barweni who was awesome, still say I am under debt review? I’ll take this up with my attorney

We've all been there. Stuck behind a car whose driver clearly didn't know indicators were included in the price.  Have you noticed any drivers that have characteristics that “come” with their car?

Does the petrol type you use in your car actually matter?  Short answer: Yes Long answer: Using a lower octane than recommended can reduce performance and cause knocking, while higher octane won’t add power unless your car is designed for it. Bottom line: stick to your manufacturer’s specs; otherwise, you’re either losing performance or wasting money.

Working out your budget to buy a car? It’s not just about whether you can afford the vehicle finance payment… WesBank’s Mzwandile Mazive breaks it down with a practical example to help you move smarter.

No joke. Drinking and driving has serious consequences, and your insurance is no exception. Your insurer isn't obligated to cover you. That means you’ll need to foot the bill yourself for repairing or replacing your car. It could also mean higher premiums, your policy being cancelled, and other providers potentially refusing to cover you in future. And, if someone else is injured or their property is damaged, you could be personally liable for those costs too.

We know Mzansi loves a 4x4, so there’s always many contenders for @topgearmagsa’s 4x4 of the Year. This year, the decision was simple, because the Land Rover Defender Octa dominated. Tackling trails and conquering dirt with ease, it pampers its occupants like a luxury SUV. Fast, capable, comfortable and practical, no other 4x4 can compete.
