Descripción

: In this episode of Heart to Heart, Dr. Andrew Dickson talks to Sibongile Mofokeng about South Africa’s upcoming September 2026 import safety rules targeting substandard Chinese goods, warning that a certificate alone won't protect consumers without fixing weak border inspections. They unpack how unregulated electrical imports like solar panels and cables continue to flood the market, undercutting local manufacturers who face high compliance costs while placing South African households at serious risk of electrical fires. Ultimately, Dr. Dickson emphasizes that while these new regulations signal positive intent from the government, true safety and economic fairness will only be achieved when border enforcement gets real teeth.

Authorized and unauthorized deductions.

Lukho Mkwedi Phuthi returns to the studio with Mr. Michael Mathe from SASSA to discuss authorized and unauthorized deductions. The conversation explains the SASSA mandate and helps beneficiaries understand which deductions are allowed and which ones are not permitted on their grants. The discussion also warns beneficiaries to check their grant statements carefully so they can spot any unauthorised deductions and report them timeously. It is a practical reminder that SASSA grants are meant to support beneficiaries, and any deduction must be lawful, clear, and properly authorised. #SASSA #MichaelMathe #LukhoMkwediPhuthi #AuthorisedDeductions #UnauthorisedDeductions #GrantAwareness #BeneficiaryRights #SocialGrants #SouthAfrica #FinanceAwareness Heart to Heart [https://www.radiopulpit.co.za/shows/heart-to-heart/]
