blazin' local guys! what about 6% economic growth! If an international visitor is thinking of visiting south africa to invest and test our internet capacity, the first warning to issue is that he becareful he doesn't check his laptop in a jhb international airport as the apron company will steal it. then telkom will steal his money!

welcome to africa.... what we don't have, we'll take. simple.
