    Electric bakkie R50,000 cheaper than a new Hilux double-cab launched in South Africa

    I have always wanted to get into the EV world... even looked at Biodiesel many years ago. Just to get away from being held hostage by oil price. But it seems that big oil has always made sure we stuck in this endless loop. Spoke to a guy in brakenfell many years ago, converted bantam bakkie to...

    Internet banking fraud victims lose R73,582 per case, much more than people whose bank apps are taken over

    I would like to know how the money vanishes into thin air? Are banks not required to keep records of every transaction? so if money moves from account to account, those accounts are traceable to actual persons...

    Proposed rules for 10-year driving licences in South Africa published

    Im in the same boat. Mine expires in Sep and went to renew about 2 weeks ago. But knowing how slow wheels turn in government, even at my next renewal in 2031, the validity will still be 5 yrs while they debate how to recoup all that revenue they going to lose with 10yr validity

    South Africa's anti-spam register is at an advanced stage of development, and consumers can now register

    I contacted dmasa and asked what if i wanted to be contacted by certain shops. Turns out this is all or nothing. I also contacted Icasa, who pushed me to dmasa, who pushed me to info regulator, which never bothered to answer. Seems like they have endless supply. Long number. My problem is i...

    We just not going to talk about Afrihost and Gallo manor issues?

    Eventually looks like we found issue. My fibre IP ended up on firewall blacklist due to multiple wrong email password attempts. It was whitelisted and all is well. Although it raises the questions. Why would our emails on phones all of sudden just loose their password overnight . Causing...

    We just not going to talk about Afrihost and Gallo manor issues?

    i'm having a bit of a problme with my emails as well at Afrihost. I narrowed it down to my fibre connection, which is with Telkom Fibre. Whenever i'm on the fibre, I can't connect to my emails. Fibre is fine. Typing this message on the fibre.. youtube, netflix , instagram... all working. But...

    Four ISPs are selling Cybersmart's symmetrical 1Gbps FTTH package for under R800 per month

    I hardly download big files. Occasionally the kids download big games on Playstation, and 100gb takes about an hour or so or maybe longer, but they'll just be on their phones while they wait. And i think this would be the scenario for most average household.
