    President Cyril Ramaphosa must condemn ‘Kill the Boer, Kill the Farmer’

    This speaks to the core of the problem the ANC has. It's leader cannot afford to condemn, even slightly an obviously wrong thing for the fear of losing votes to the EFF / MK. Which in turn also shows that there is a significant number of ANC supporters who either do no see the problem with...

    Eskom wants to charge solar users and other people for not using its electricity

    Yes off course, but also; you are not entitled to connect to their infrastructure, unless you pay for it. There is no problem here from a single user perspective. The bigger issue Eskom has that they will scare away anyone who has money to pay them at all. Image a suburb of 100 houses where 90...

    Eskom wants to charge solar users and other people for not using its electricity

    Because they can recoup the maintenance costs from the "profit" they make selling you the electricity. If you don't buy, they don't make profit.

    Eskom wants to charge solar users and other people for not using its electricity

    Unpopular opinion: The don't want to charge you for not using their electricity, they want to charge you for maintaining a network connected to your house that you want to use in case the sun doesn't shine for 2 days. What everybody seems to be missing here is that all of these tariffs etc...

    What? Are you saying they made a bad plan that will never work too late? Cannot be? Not this ANC....

    Plan to combine 3 of the biggest cities in South Africa into a ‘Megatropolis’

    ANC realises it is losing support in JHB and PTA, so they want to lump them together with Ekurhuleni to make up the numbers.

    ‘No whites’ business programme by United States giant Amazon promotes diversity and inclusion in South Africa

    Well that explains how they can operate here without giving up 30% equity.

    Are you for or against worker unions?

    Unions in SA are nothing more than political tools to secure votes. They are mostly run by politically connected cadres who get preferential treatment from the ANC to guarantee votes. If we could amend the laws around the governance of unions to ensure they cannot affiliate themselves with a...

    Cars should be cheaper to own and run.

    The Problem is not the manufacturers. If you look at the base SC Reo - its $21500 which sounds cheap - but to get that in SA without shipping: Base Price (FOB) $21,500 converted to R362,705 Customs Duty 25% of the base price R90,676...

    Chery to build its cheapest SUV in South Africa

    Chery has the opportunity here to totally dominate the Sub R 250 000 category in SA. If they are able to sell the Tiggo 4 currently at R 269 000 - while paying import taxes they can sell it for a lot cheaper if they build it locally.

    Pluribus Series (Vince Gilligan's new show)

    I found the premise interesting, the key with season 2 will now be if they try to turn it into a multi season money spinner or stay true to the original idea. Unfortunately too many good first seasons are ruined by studios / writers trying to turn it into a money grab. I still remember how...

    Buying vs renting in South Africa – the winner is clear

    I hate when they generalise a complex argument this. The equation can change significantly depending on where you want to live and what your budget is. The headline here should have been Buying vs renting in some parts of Roodepoort with a budget of R 15k pm – the winner is clear

    Billionaire Christo Wiese’s message to people who want to leave South Africa

    Nothing against the man but he is living in a bubble. "He still believes in the country, highlighting that 95% of his assets remain in South Africa." so even if the ANC decides to expropriate the 95% he still has in SA, he has about R 1.5 Billion stashed overseas to live comfortably with -...

    Mr Price CEO earns R52.6 million – 843 times more than the lowest-paid employee

    This is the difference between trying to be fair and being jealous (between really caring about people and being a communist :) Fair: Even the lowest paid worker should earn a living wage that reflects his/her contribution to the success of the company. Jealous: Look at how much money the CEO...

    Here are the worst municipalities in South Africa

    Did anyone bother to correlate this list with the last few election results? I wanted to but I'm confident it will show what I think it does.
