Here is the completed General Journal for April 2025:

Step 1: Record Transaction B1 - Drawings of goods.
The owner took goods for personal use. This decreases Trading Stock and increases Drawings.

Step 2: Record Transaction B2 - Correction of building repair.
The repair expense was incorrectly posted to Land and Buildings. This entry corrects the asset account and records the expense.

Step 3: Record Transaction B3 - Bad Debts write-off.
The irrecoverable portion of A Pillay's debt is written off.
Amount to be written off = R 1500−(R 1500×0.40)=R 1500−R 600=R 900\text{R } 1500 - (\text{R } 1500 \times 0.40) = \text{R } 1500 - \text{R } 600 = \text{R } 900.
This increases Bad Debts expense and decreases Debtors Control.

Step 4: Record Transaction B4 - Interest on overdue account.
Interest is charged to L Davies for an overdue account.
Interest = R 1800×5%×412=R 30\text{R } 1800 \times 5\% \times \frac{4}{12} = \text{R } 30.
This increases Debtors Control and records Interest Income.

Step 5: Record Transaction B5 - Correction of sales return posting.
Goods returned by M Mabaso were incorrectly posted to S Masebe. To correct, debit S Masebe's account (to reverse the incorrect credit) and credit M Mabaso's account (to apply the correct credit).

Step 6: Record Transaction B6 - Correction of cash received posting.
An amount received from B Hadebe (debtor) was incorrectly credited to T Radebe (creditor). To correct, debit T Radebe's account (to reverse the incorrect credit to a creditor) and credit B Hadebe's account (to apply the correct credit to a debtor).
