    Could not see anything in there that states that if you are empployed directly with a company, rather than through an agency, on a contractual basis they need to offer you a permanent position?

    Sorry dude, maybe I should explain better. In terms of a contractual basis, you are bound by the terms of the contract. That's normal - and most folks working on a consultation basis will be contracted employees. SARS does not make that distinction if the Employer pays PAYE for the Employee - i.e. in SARS' opinion you are a permanent employee.

    Labourers who work for any amount of time without signing a contract, are considered permanent employees in the eyes of the law.If a contract exists between a labourer and a Labour Broker, then this is subject to the legal bindings of that contract, and in SARS' opinion, this constitutes a fair contractual employment, and the employer is therefore not responsible for PAYE. SARS also views individuals working for company X for more than 3 months without a contract as permanent employees.

    When buying something ' As is '

    If you purchase something ' as is ' but can prove that the owner was aware of defects but did not disclose them to you at the time of sale, you can ask for your money back. For example you buy a car and it has a problem, you take it into get it fixed and they say that this car was in the other day and they told the owner it was on the way out, you then have your proof. If the seller then says, but I sold it to you ' as is ' you can tell them you found out that they knew it had that fault and ' as is ' no longer protects them - I have seen some agreements of purchase for big items such as houses that try their best to work around this - Again there are those that think, " The customer has no rights " and "Do one to others, before they do one to you "

    While on the topic, if a company professes expert knowledge publicly, for example a computer company that has a Logo or catch phrase like " We are the best and know everything " - In the event of a Latent or Patent defect being found in their goods, they are also liable for costs, ie if your PC went down and the hard drive was toast, they are liable for the downtime and data recovery etc

    Another one: you know those signs in shops saying "You break it, you bought it"? They cannot be enforced. Accidental breakages in a shop are considered a cost of doing business, and a shop cannot force you to pay for something you broke.

    Of course, if you did it deliberately they could have you charged with malicious damage to property, and if you did something really stupid they could sue you for negligence, I suppose.

    I thought so, no wonder Pick 'n Pay don't do much about the many dropped bottles of tomato sauce I've seen over the years, they just send a cleaner to go clean it up. Usually shops with these "you break you pay" are run by the sort I have come to recognize over the years as being greedy and really full of bad attitude and bad service.

    Oh geez take a chill pill, I can't be expected to answer every question that others are too lazy to look up themselves. I suggest you look at Icasa's site, under 'telecoms', under 'regulations in force'. Or do a simple search for the term 'wireless' on their site.

    Who needs wireless when you can dig up a road and lay your own cables

    I've added a link to my first post. It's the site where one can check with Home Affairs on their Marital Status by using their ID number.

    Home Affairs set this up following the reports of the last few years that foreigners were stealing ID numbers and 'marrying' people, unbeknownst to the people. I'm not being very eloquent here but you all know what I mean.

    The site is here: http://home-affairs.pwv.gov.za/statu...tal_status.asp

    National Credit Act - most of which comes into operation 1 June 2007 although some of itn is already with us. I have not had the chance to look at it too closely but this is a BIGGIE which will affect us in any credit situation, including hire purchase, mortgages and the like. It is intended as consumer protection legislation - making the rules of engagement between credit grantors and credit receivers clearer and fairer

    i would imagine that it ll have an effect on the way telkom does business

    Yeah. The main focus is shifting to true affordability. A credit grantor may be held liable if proper affordability investigation was not applied during the credit grantig process.

    I suspect Telkom will simply modify the billing system
