    South Africa beats Australia, sets world record with 7.6km-long train

    Insurance will pay me out if something happens to it. That's the only way I intend to sell.

    Geely E2 Apex, pull the trigger or am I going mad?

    I'm in the same boat. If I'm forced to buy another car I'd likely get one, but I currently only spend about R2.5k a month on petrol and R500 on insurance so don't see the need to take on a car payment and an insurance hike for it.

    SALGA files application to block AARTO rollout on 1 July 2026

    While I'm not a fan of AARTO, I'm even less of a fan of municipalities dishing out fines as a revenue making exercise.

    Do you bet on sports?

    Rarely. Usually before the start of a tournament I'll look and see if there are any odds that are worth taking on an outright winner. Nice wins were Germany for the 2014 World Cup and Max Verstappen for the 2021 F1 Championship. Both were relatively long shots at the start which paid out...

    Gautrain stations to get significant upgrades

    I can’t comment on the business model. I simply disagree with the sentiment that transportation infrastructure has to be a profit making endeavour.
