The National Credit Act
The National Credit Act (NCA) replaces the Usury Act No 73 of 1980, the Credit Agreements Act No 75 of 1980 and the Integration of Usury Laws Act No 57 of 1996
What is the purpose of the NCA?
The purpose of the NCA is contained in section 3 to the NCA, but a shortened version of the purpose would be:
- To protect consumers from unscrupulous credit providers;
- To regulate credit bureaux and ensure that the correct information is disclosed appropriately;
- To regulate the way in which debt is recovered.
Below, is the National Credit Regulator's website… simple and easy to browse… with all the answers to your questions:

Recipe Of The Month - Baked Bacon and Egg Basket - makes four baskets
This recipe will leave your guests impressed and you looking like a professional chef.
You will need:
4 slices complete high fibre brown bread, crusts removed
4 bacon rashers
40ml sundried tomato tapenade
4 free range eggs
100g baby button mushrooms, quartered
4 salad onions, sliced
Crème fraiche to serve
100g mini rosa tomatoes, sliced
Here's how:
- Pre-heat the oven to 180°c and lightly grease a muffin tray.
- Use a rolling pin to roll out each slice of bread until it is thin.
- Line 4 cups of the muffin tray with a slice of bread.
- Line each slice of bread with a bacon rasher and place 2 teaspoons of the tapenade on each rasher.
- Break an egg into each cup and add the mushrooms and ¾ of the spring onions.
- Place the tray in the oven and bake until the egg is cooked, +/- 15 minutes.
Once cooked, remove the egg baskets from the muffin tray and garnish with some crème frâiche and the left over spring onions, serve with mini Rosa tomatoes.
This recipe was taken from the Woolworths website, and featured on the 3 Talk show on SABC 3.
Fun Stuff
Cleaning the Toilet
- Put both lids of the toilet up and add 1/8 cup of pet shampoo to the water in the bowl.
- Pick up the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the
bathroom.
- In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close both
lids.You may need to stand on the lid.
- The cat will self agitate and make ample suds. Never mind the noises
that come from the toilet, the cat is actually enjoying this.
- Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a "power-wash"
and rinse".
- Have someone open the front door of your home. Be sure that there are
no people between the bathroom and the front door.
- Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift both
lids.
- The cat will rocket out of the toilet, streak through the bathroom,
and run outside where he will dry himself off.
- Both the commode and the cat will be sparkling clean.
Sincerely,
The Dog
