A Journey of Hope and Freedom: The Inspiring Life of Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela was born in the village of Mvezo, in the Eastern Cape, on July 18, 1918. He was the son of Nkosi Mphakanyiswa Gadla Mandela, a chief of the Thembu people, and Nonqaphi Nosekeni. Mandela was educated at a local school and at Healdtown, a Wesleyan secondary school. In 1938, he went to the University of Fort Hare, where he studied law. He was expelled from the university in 1940 for participating in a student protest.

After being expelled from Fort Hare, Mandela worked as a clerk in Johannesburg. He became involved in the African National Congress (ANC), a political organization that was fighting against apartheid, the system of racial segregation in South Africa. In 1943, Mandela was elected president of the ANC Youth League.

In 1948, the National Party came to power in South Africa. The National Party implemented apartheid, and Mandela and other ANC leaders were arrested and imprisoned. Mandela was imprisoned on Robben Island for 27 years.

While in prison, Mandela continued to fight against apartheid. He also studied law and became a qualified lawyer. In 1985, he was released from prison.

After his release from prison, Mandela continued to fight against apartheid. He negotiated with the South African government, and in 1994, South Africa held its first democratic elections. Mandela was elected president of South Africa.

As president, Mandela worked to unite South Africa and to heal the wounds of apartheid. He also worked to improve the lives of South Africans, particularly the poor and the disadvantaged.

Mandela stepped down as president in 1999. He continued to work for peace and justice, and he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993.

Nelson Mandela died on December 5, 2013, at the age of 95. He was a global icon of peace and freedom, and his legacy will continue to inspire people around the world for generations to come.

How to check matric results online ?

Matric is the final year of high school in South Africa, and it is one of the most important years in a student’s education. The results of the matric exams determine if a student is able to pursue their dream career or not. Many careers require tertiary education, and admittance to a tertiary education institution is dependent on the marks obtained in matric.

With so much riding on a student’s matric results, it is no wonder that every student is eager to see how they did.

Here is a guide on how to check your matric results online in 2023:

What to do next?

Once you have your matric results, you will need to collect your matric certificate from your high school. The school will usually let you know once it is available for collection. To collect your certificate, you will need your ID as the DBE has said that students cannot receive their matric certificates without their IDs.

Once you have your certificate, you can use it to pursue your dreams, either by applying to a tertiary education institution or directly for your first job.

If you did not get the results you need to get access to tertiary education, you need not worry at all. You can upgrade your matric results online with Elroi Academy.

How to Claim M-PESA Funds of Deceased Relatives: A Step-by-Step Guide

How to Claim M-PESA Funds of Deceased Relatives: A Step-by-Step Guide

M-PESA Next of Kin Claim

If a M-PESA subscriber dies, their next of kin can claim the funds in their account. The next of kin is the person who is closest to the deceased in terms of blood relationship.

To claim the funds, the next of kin must visit a Safaricom retail center and provide the following documents:

  • The next of kin’s ID
  • The deceased person’s death certificate
  • A statutory declaration (affidavit) stating that the next of kin is the deceased person’s closest living relative
  • A letter from the provincial administration confirming the next of kin’s relationship to the deceased person

If the amount in the deceased person’s M-PESA account is less than 30,000 Kenyan shillings, the next of kin can claim the funds without having to obtain a grant of probate or letters of administration. However, if the amount is more than 30,000 Kenyan shillings, the next of kin must obtain a grant of probate or letters of administration before they can claim the funds.

A grant of probate is a legal document that gives the executor of a will the authority to distribute the deceased person’s assets. Letters of administration are a legal document that gives the administrator of an estate the authority to distribute the deceased person’s assets if they did not leave a will.

To obtain a grant of probate or letters of administration, the next of kin must file a petition with the High Court. The petition must include the following information:

  • The deceased person’s name
  • The deceased person’s date of death
  • The deceased person’s assets
  • The next of kin’s relationship to the deceased person

The High Court will then appoint an executor or administrator to distribute the deceased person’s assets. Once the executor or administrator has been appointed, they will contact the next of kin and arrange for the transfer of funds from the deceased person’s M-PESA account.

Claim of funds requirements

The following are the requirements for claiming funds from a deceased person’s M-PESA account:

  • Next of kin claims:
    • Amount between 1 – 30,000:
      • Duly filled Safaricom next of kin claims form

How to Buy Kenya Power Tokens: Via Mpesa Paybill

Buy Kenya Power Tokens via Mpesa Paybill

If you’re a Kenya Power customer, you know how important it is to keep your electricity supply topped up with tokens. Fortunately, buying tokens doesn’t have to be a complicated or time-consuming process. With the right information and tools, you can purchase your tokens quickly and easily. Here’s what you need to know.

One of the easiest ways to buy Kenya Power tokens is through Mpesa Paybill. To do this, you’ll need to have an active Mpesa account and enough funds to cover the cost of the tokens. Simply go to the Mpesa menu on your phone, select “Lipa na Mpesa,” then “Paybill.” Enter the Kenya Power Paybill number (888880) and your account number as the account number. Next, enter the amount of tokens you want to purchase and confirm the transaction. You’ll receive a confirmation message with your token number, which you can then enter into your meter to top up your electricity supply.

 

Kenya Power implemented a ban on third-party token vendors. This decision aims to streamline the process of purchasing electricity tokens and enhance accountability. Under the new regulations, customers are required to buy tokens exclusively from authorized channels, such as banking apps, mobile money platforms, and Kenya Power’s own digital channels. The ban intends to curb fraudulent activities and ensure the secure and efficient delivery of electricity services to consumers. Customers are advised to familiarize themselves with the approved channels to ensure uninterrupted access to electricity tokens and to avoid engaging with unauthorized vendors.

The Finance Bill 2023 Kenya

The Finance Bill 2023 in Kenya aims to introduce amendments to various tax and duty-related laws with the objective of increasing government revenue through taxation. The bill is currently being reviewed by the National Assembly, and it encompasses several key changes that are worth noting:

  1. Income Tax:
    • The turnover tax (TOT) rate is proposed to be increased from one to three percent.
    • Micro-businesses with a turnover of at least KES 500,000 annually (previously KES 1,000,000) will be included in the tax net.
    • Businesses with turnovers above KES 15 million will be subject to income tax at a rate of 30 percent.
  2. Digital Assets Tax:
    • A three percent levy on transfer charges will be introduced for digital assets such as cryptocurrencies, digital currencies, and non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
  3. Taxation of Member Clubs:
    • Member-based clubs or trade associations will now be subject to tax on their business income, excluding joining fees, welfare contributions, and subscriptions.
  4. Withholding Tax for Digital Content Creators:
    • Fifteen percent of payments made to digital content creators will be withheld as withholding tax.
  5. New Tax Band for High-Income Earners:
    • A new pay-as-you-earn tax band of 35 percent will be introduced for individuals with a gross monthly income above KES 500,000 or KES 6 million annually.
  6. 3% Housing Levy Deductions:
    • A new statutory deduction of three percent of gross earnings will be introduced into the National Housing Development Fund.
  7. Value-Added Tax (VAT):
    • VAT on petroleum products is proposed to be increased from eight percent to 16 percent.
    • Imported digital service providers will be required to register for VAT, removing the previous turnover threshold of KES 5 million.
    • VAT exemptions will be granted for diagnostic and laboratory reagents, vaccines for human and veterinary medicine, aircraft and spacecraft parts.
  8. Excise Duty:
    • Timely excise duty payments will be required for certain industries, such as gaming, within 24 hours.
    • Excise duty will be introduced on cosmetics, including human hair, wigs, false beards, eyebrows, eyelashes, and artificial nails, at a rate of five percent.
    • Increased excise duty rates will apply to mobile money transfer services, gaming, betting, price competitions, and lotteries.
  9. Tax Appeals Tribunal:
    • Taxpayers challenging decisions of the Tax Appeals Tribunal will be required to deposit 20% of the disputed tax amount at the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) or provide equivalent security before proceeding to the High Court.
  10. Tax Procedures Act:
  • The KRA will no longer grant relief due to doubt or difficulty in tax recovery, potentially leading to a more assertive tax authority.
  1. Miscellaneous Fees & Levies Act:
  • The import declaration fee is proposed to be revised from 3.5 percent to 2.5 percent.
  • The Railway Development Levy (RDL) is proposed to be reduced from 3.5 percent to 2.5 percent.
