Living Green WallsIn addition to leaving their estates to loved ones, many people also want to leave a legacy by benefitting a favourite charity or non-profit organisation, such as the Intaka Island Environmental Trust. A charitable bequest – which is simply a distribution from your deceased estate to a charitable organisation by a bequest in your will – is an easy and effective way to do this.

Canal Walk Shopping Centre turns 20
Canal WalkThe award for "Environmental Education and Skills Development facilitated by the Intaka Island Environmental Trust for the wetlands at Century City, Cape Town" was announced in a virtual awards ceremony on 28 October.
Intaka IslandWhat started out as a typical, quiet Friday in Century City, turned into a major accident scene. On 23 October, Sipho Dlamini, was driving the aquatic weed harvester used to trim the water plants in the canals. “It was just like any other day, a morning on the water performing maintenance on the canals when it took a sudden turn for the worst. I was working on the Grand Canal behind Canal Walk Shopping Centre when the Intaka Island ferry started veering towards me. Before I could react, two canoeists came out of nowhere, and we all met with a big bang!”
In August 2020, the Green Building Council of South Africa (GBCSA) awarded Canal Walk, co-owned by Hyprop Investments Limited and Ellerine Bros, a 5-Star Green Star EBP v1 Rating. Canal Walk is the first Super Regional shopping centre in South Africa to be awarded a 5-star rating by the Green Building Council, attesting to the fact that the operations and management of Canal Walk are efficient and maintain optimal performance.
