    South Africa's "real" matric pass rate is 55.9%

    It will be interesting to hear the DA's official comment in this regard. I would expect them to point out the "truth", i.e., the 55,9% value, but with a DA Minster of Basic Education making this "good news" public, it must be an issue :cool: .

    Concerns regarding how grocery delivery retailers vet their drivers

    I absolutely refuse to use the PnP and Checkers delivery services while this chaos continues. They do not seem to give a damn about the safety of their delivery drivers or the other road users! Recently, during the wind storms in Cape Town, and specifically Somerset West where we live, we saw...

    Parliament passes Electricity Regulation Amendment Bill, ending Eskom's monopoly

    How will this affect the COCT intention to take over all of Eskom's electricity distribution in Cape Town? Should this not negate Eskoms withdrawel from discussions with COCT on the matter?

    South Africa's biggest solar farm compared to the rest of the world

Molten salt is operationally a nightmare and when something goes wrong and the molten salt solidifies (at 240⁰C), it is a catastrophe. A better, and more cost-effective solution is to use a suitable other thermal energy...

    Vodacom’s R250 billion Please Call Me headache

    I cannot understand this case - at all companies where I was appointed, it was a condition of employment that all new IP and ideas developed during my employment, the rights would be with the company and I would have no claim on this. Does this mean that I can begin to claim compensation from...

    Starlink is already bigger than ADSL in South Africa

    It is not valid to compare Starlink subscriptions with that of ADSL. ADSL is outdated - I cancelled our's long ago with DSTV when fibre became available and more affordable than ADSL plus DSTV.

    Honda Prologue fully-electric SUV details announced

    I must say, the styling is superb and keeps away from some unnecessary and unattractive trends in EV styling. EV's do not have to look like dented spaceships .

    Takealot’s hands tied behind its back in fight against Shein and Amazon

    What a shame! takealot.com will already be with its back against the wall with Amazon entering the SA market - probably without the limitations that are now forced on takealot.com, e.g., the race-based regulations. Do the Competitions Board understand the impact these regulations may have on...

    Andre de Ruyter’s new job at Yale

    Your comment spells ignorance! He has not destroyed anything here. The ANC would just not let him do his job, as he targeted their corrupt cadres!

    Eskom chair's church owes over R2m in unpaid electricity bills

    This seems to be an easy problem to resolve, with R2m in debt and 3 million members. Each member should contribute 67 cents and it is resolved!

    Mantashe blames global energy crisis for load-shedding - Here's why he's wrong

    Did he actually make Grade 12 (legally)? His statements are a model of ignorance and stupidity...

    Discovery posts R5.48 billion profit, with R990 million loss for Discovery Bank

    This is probably due to Discovery Bank's racism against white clients - that's the primary reason why I left them and I am not surprised...
