    South African government putting revenue ahead of road safety

    Why did the number of fatalities double? Simple. The previously impoverished majority of our population were allowed to join the economically wealthy masses and could suddenly afford cars. In 1998, there were approximately 5.5 million registered vehicles on South Africa's roads. By 2020, this...

    Car manufacturers in South Africa looking to resurrect the country's dilapidated railway line

    700 Miles? Has the country gone so far backwards that we have become imperial again. Next thing you know cars will be going 120 furlongs an hour.

    Eskom will suspend load-shedding from 22:00 on Saturday until 16:00 on Sunday

    I'd really like to know how if you are a South African citizen but born outside SA you cant use this service but have to queue for hours at DHA. It's bizarre.

    High-speed fibre prices - Ultimate showdown

    They are overbuying not overpaying. I'd say that 95% of subscribers buy more speed than they could possibly need. Who really 'needs' 500Mb/s in a house? I work with very large graphic images, often needing to transfer 10 Gig files. 100Mb/s is plenty for my needs.

    I'm a pro sports photographer who archives 250 000 images a year and a NAS is the backbone of my archive operation. www.chrishitchcock.co.za My current NAS is 6 years old and creaking under the strain of old school tech and even older age. (It's also just recovered from a ransomware attack...
