"We left it to IT" is no longer a defence.
King V puts technology, data and AI firmly on the board's agenda. Principle 10 requires boards to oversee cybersecurity, data protection, third-party risk and AI, and delegation does not transfer accountability.
Can your board demonstrate that it is actively governing technology, data and AI?

That voice note sounds just like your boss. The email looks exactly like your supplier's. The request is urgent.

Pause.

AI now makes scams far more convincing. A familiar voice or a polished message is no longer proof that a payment instruction is real.

Three habits that help:
- Confirm banking-detail changes by calling a number you already trust
- Require a second approval for significant payments
- Treat urgency and secrecy as warning signs

Do you know what to do if money has already gone out? The first hours matter.

Your supplier delivers late, or sends the wrong stock. What can you actually rely on?

If the answer is "a few emails and a quote", your business is exposed.

A written supplier agreement records:
- What is being supplied, and to what standard
- The price and when it must be paid
- Delivery dates and what happens if they are missed
- How defects are reported and fixed
- How either side can end the arrangement

Trust is valuable. A clear agreement keeps it that way when something goes wrong.

Your business has a brand, a name, a logo. Maybe original content, client lists, or proprietary processes. These are intellectual property assets. And they are often worth more than anything physical you own.

But many business owners do not protect them until a dispute happens.

Trade marks protect your brand. Copyright protects original works. Confidential information needs contractual protection like NDAs and restraint of trade clauses.

If you have not taken steps to protect your intellectual property, you are exposed. Competitors can copy your brand. Former employees can walk away with your client list.

Protecting your IP is not just for big corporations. If you have created something worth defending, it is a necessity.

You sign standard form contracts all the time. Supplier agreements, service terms, client contracts. The ones that arrive pre-drafted and ready to sign.

Do you read every clause?

In South African law, there is a principle called caveat subscriptor. It means if you sign it, you are bound by it. Whether you read it or not.

That clause limiting the supplier's liability? You agreed.
That term allowing unilateral termination? You agreed.
That provision shifting disputes to another jurisdiction? You agreed.

"I didn't read it" is not a defence.

Before you sign any contract that matters to your business, read it. Or have it reviewed by someone who can spot the risks.

What happens when a parent simply stops paying child maintenance?

A maintenance order is a court order. Failing to comply can lead to arrears, salary attachment, ex*****on against property, and even criminal prosecution.

But if a parent genuinely cannot afford it anymore, they should not just stop. There are legal processes to vary the order.

Our latest article explains the enforcement mechanisms and the variation process, so you know your rights whether you are recovering unpaid maintenance or struggling to meet an order.
