Property in Tokai Residential



Tokai is a large residential suburb situated on the foothills of the spectacular Elephants Eye mountain range. The lush, leafy suburb is a nature lover’s dream, with a selection of off-road cycling routes and scenic mountain and forest walks.

Named after Tokaj – a range of hills in Hungary – Tokai was originally a wide open area dotted with various wine farms and quaint smallholdings. Today the suburb is predominantly residential, but a number of authentic Cape Dutch houses still stand among the more modern developments. The suburb was established in the late 1940s and built up quickly due to the urgent need for housing for the English-speaking South African soldiers returning from World War II.

Diabetes in South Africa

Most life insurance providers regard diabetes as a high-risk disease. Being diabetic means you are at higher risk of developing complications such as eye, kidney, heart and nerve damage. Additionally, diabetes increases the possibility of developing hypertension (high blood pressure), hypercholesterolaemia (high blood cholesterol), heart disease and strokes.

Insurers who do accept patients with diabetes are bound to increase their premiums significantly as the risk to insure them are above average. That’s why taking out life insurance at a young, healthy age can prove beneficial.
