Thabo bought a house in February 2018. He and his girlfriend Wendy moved in together and
are happily living together. Their combined income allows them to pay their monthly expenses,
but due to a continuing economic recession and increased living costs, they have not been able
to save up any money. The current outstanding bond on the house with FNB is R 500 000-00
(five hundred thousand rand). To celebrate their six month anniversary living together, Thabo
buys Wendy an engagement ring on credit from Sparkle&Shine to the value of R40 000-00
(forty thousand rand). He pays monthly instalments directly to the store and the outstanding
amount on the ring is R30 000 (thirty thousand rand). Shortly after this his car breaks down and
he borrows R10 000-00 (ten thousand rand) from his friend Raj to cover the costs for his car. He
agrees to make monthly instalments to Raj to settle this debt, but have not yet made any
payments. During the annual personal tax season Thabo receives a tax assessment (invoice)
from SARS in the amount of R60 000-00 (sixty thousand rand). In April 2019 Thabo’s hardware
store, Cable&Tie (Pty) Ltd is also under financial distress. He is both the shareholder and
director of the company and he borrows R600 000 (six hundred thousand rand) from his parents
