The concept of Hive Living means buying a single plot of land or property and building several small homes or flats on it to be used as residence for more than one or two people. This concept is very popular among large families as they will often purchase a home and build a granny flat or two onto the existing property for their eldest child, grandparents or extended family.

Recently we were met with the news that Centlec is taking over all its billing and finances from The Mangaung Metropolitan in Bloemfontein because (as the pattern goes) the municipality is not performing as desired. Confused about what exactly is going on? You aren't the only one.

Everybody wants to own their own property, but we are living in tough economical times and it's getting harder and harder to get on the property ladder.
