    A question for parents

    For primary school, unless the place is a total dump I'd say go with what's closest but first do 2 things: 1. Have an honest conversation with yourself about your kid, is he / she an athletic superstar/ academic genius or might he /she need a bit extra help and see what school fits better for...

    Secret meeting to start a new Afrikaans party in South Africa

    Growing up there was a joke / quote of somebody who said "The last time the Afrikaners stood together was when they were puking over the railing on the boat to St Helena"

    Plan to slash petrol prices by R6 per litre in South Africa

    I don't know if the taxis have figured out a way to get cheaper petrol yet - at least with the feuel levy they pay some tax right? but yes, I remember when my parents still had to have 3rd party insurance and you would get fined if you didn't. (Or something like that) I guess that just open...

    Will you be voting next week?

    I Always feel good after voting - even if it only lasts a short while - I was 16 in 94 so just missed voting the first time but every time I vote now, I appreciate again how far we have come. Growing up in the 80's and early 90's we were constantly afraid of "civil" war and terrorist attacks...

    Plan to slash petrol prices by R6 per litre in South Africa

    They will just take the money in the form of taxes somewhere else - so no real relief, just shifting the burden. the RAF levy can be replaced by compulsory 3rd Party insurance, like we used to have. But the General levy is basically just a tax and that money has to come from somewhere?

    South Africa bans United States ‘hate’ film, threatening R500,000 fine for anyone possessing or distributing it

    They should add a soundtrack and call it a song, then it can't be hate speech right?

    The South African man who promised to turn R300 into R1,000 has been hit with a R300,000 fine and a 20-year debarment

    Lucky for him he only needs to find R90 000 to pay it.

    I only use Uber - I have had this on multiple occasions.

    Have you had a bad taxi / ride hailing experience in South Africa?

    The usual "old" new cars, bad condition etc. but the one thing I despise the most is the begging for petrol money right after they pick you up - with the associated implication that you will get stuck without petrol somewhere on the way to your destination.

    Popular fast food chain in South Africa hit with R1 million fine

    "when a disgruntled customer tipped the National Consumer Council (NCC) off about potential violations of the Consumer Protection Act (CPA)." You don't just go to the NCC because you feel like it, there must be a story behind this. I would love to know what they did to that customer to cause...

    R25,000 to take a fake Uber from a major airport in South Africa

    Ja well.... if you are dumb enough to think the you are taking an "uber" without using the app for the ride you should probably not complain too much. But then again this such an easy fix if the police were actually interested in doing their jobs.

    DA close to overtaking the ANC as South Africa’s largest party

    Not much to shout about here.... if the DA were getting votes from people who previously voted ANC it would be something.... but the only thing happening here is ANC voters are moving to the EFF / MK / ActionSA parties.

    Julius Malema says white people must lose their land in South Africa

    Man I hate elections..... I don't know who annoys me more, the idiots like Malema spouting nonsense, or the idiots that believe him. Special mention to the media for giving him airtime.
