The black dots on windshields, known as frits, play a crucial role in preventing damage, enhancing visibility, and facilitating efficient temperature regulation. They distribute temperature evenly, minimizing the risk of cracks from sudden temperature changes. Additionally, the dots help preserve the adhesive that bonds the windshield to the frame, ensuring its secure placement even in extreme temperatures. Furthermore, the dots reduce optical distortion, making straight lines appear straight instead of curved. While aesthetics also plays a role, the primary purpose of frits is to provide practical benefits that contribute to driver safety and vehicle functionality.

The South African Reserve Bank (SARB) has seized R42.1 million in cash and an R18 million property from Berdine Odendaal, the alleged former romantic partner of late Steinhoff CEO Markus Jooste. The assets were confiscated just before the expiration of a deadline to seize her assets. The funds and property will be deposited in the state’s National Revenue Fund. The forfeiture order states that the state will confiscate funds from five of Odendaal’s bank accounts and seize an R18 million property in her name at the exclusive Val de Vie estate outside Paarl.
