    SA Politics Part 14 - The New Dawn turns to Dusk

    Having not read the last 80 pages of this, as well as Part 13, I'm just going in here with a slightly off topic comment. Some will note that even on here, I have given the DA immense praise. I travel often for work and see the stark differences between Cape Town (where I live) and other parts...

    A tax revolt is underway in South Africa

    So I've been paying my TV License the last couple of years because I wasnt liss for the crap. But then, my license became due this month, and this was the email SABC sent me. Very first notice: So screw it, not paying them anymore. If they want to start with a threat, they will not get my money.

    On an Emirates flight back from China in January 2019, EK381. I arrived at the luggage check-in at Shekou ferry terminal, and they wouldnt take my luggage for some reason. Managed to get to Hong Kong International and the check in desk told me there was a problem with my ticket. This was the...

    Three new food retailers up to 65% cheaper than SPAR, Checkers, and Pick n Pay in South Africa

    Was just talking about how expensive Checkers is. Half a trolley with 3 x 1kg mince, 1 pack of legs and thighs, and 1 pack of skinless breasts for the meat, with the usual monthly supplies for 2 people (excluding toilet paper) came to R3500. 4 Months ago, the same would've cost R2500

    Cape Town takes regulations for electric fencing far further than the national regulations

    I say this having been an avid DA supporter for many years. We bought the house just under 2 years ago, we are now planning to put it on the market in the coming year. The area wasnt like this when we bough it, it went into rapid decline over the last 12 months. Residents have been begging for...

    Cape Town takes regulations for electric fencing far further than the national regulations

    You are very much correct. In Bellville, Cape Town, where I live, the city has just about abandoned us to fend for ourselves. Theres been a massive influx of illegal student accommodation, brothels, prostitution, drug dealing, vagrants, worse and worse crime, and gangsters. Recently in the...

    Afrihost Fibre Server at Home

    In the same sense as someone saying that you can speed, there probably wont be a traffic cop with a camera. Until there is. All im saying is, the terms they've used can very easily be applied very broadly to just about any customer on their network to shut them down for whatever reason. If it...

    Solar power and Geyser

    Ah thats actually because we wake up early for work, so it does actually run for 45min just before we shower. It runs the battery down to the 20% minimum I have set and switches back to grid , but it works perfectly fine. System has been running like this since December 2024. All in all, our...

    Afrihost Fibre Server at Home

    @cavedog without mincing any words or using analogies, I have to ask the questions very directly: Is it against the terms to host a private server for private use on a FTTH line with the FNO's? If it is, which FNO's impose these restrictions? Understanding that ISP-FNO agreements are...
