    Penalty fees for users who cancel cellphone contracts prematurely

    R27000 odd for a mid range phone and ear buds. The data and minutes could be had on prepaid for next to nothing.

    Good news for South Africans, I hear "Spam" call centres are now being run by full AI.

    The Odyssey broke attendance records at Ster-Kinekor in an "already phenomenal season" for cinema

    Watched it in Imax. Haven't been to the movies in years. Glad I went. Expensive outing but sight/sound/popcorn, everything was great. Maybe I will treat myself once a year with such.

    Weird issue with MTN ad-hoc data bundle not depleting

    What data bundle was being used then? Or did you go OOB? Was there still promo data available at the time? Maybe that is used first? Sorry for the many questions. Just trying to get clarification.
