    Paris 2024 Olympics

    True. I don't think it's been a terrible games for SA. And the small squad has done well. It reflects the reality of where our athletes feature in their respective disciplines across normal competition. Good conversion rate into semi-finals and PBs or near-PBs. Not many also rans travelling for...

    I am selling my 2008 Golf 5 2.0 Fsi with 131,000km. It's a bigger and older car. But way more comfortable than the options you are surveying. It is an option if you are interested

    SARS E-Filing 2020/21

    I've finally been issued with an ITA34 after declaring a work-from-home allowance and SARS taking 2 months to do their audit. Somehow the audited assessment, including this WFH allowance has reduced the initial auto-calculation on what SARS owes me. I have 7 days to pay R455 to them, even though...

    Do you pay with your phone?

    Two weeks ago I saw my Capitec app update the Zapper/Snapscan Ts & Cs. It gives very broad abilities to sharing data with third party providers. I'm no longer using those QR code apps to pay - that kind of giving over data is very malicious. We should be pushing for the kind of open banking...
