    Eskom warns it will cut off electricity to people with solar panels if they are unsafe

    I agree, but a few ANC municipalities (Thaba Chweu Local Municipality) have started charging a fee (on the rates account) to residents that have solar installations. AFAIK some organisations (AfriForum) have taken this up.

    Yeah, but knowing the ANC they may still try to charge you some fees, even when disconnected. And who knows what CitiPower in Joburg could get up to ? Once the new Na+ batteries become available, offgrid would be very viable.

    Total DStv overhaul in South Africa

    New coins officially launch in South Africa

    No, no, we were waiting for the new R10, R20, and R50 coins. Considering that the Rand is now worth about 1/200 of what it used to be worth. For example, a few years ago a 4 bar KitKat used to cost 5 cents. And 330ml tins of Coca Cola were launched at 10 cents.

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

    Many reports from Oz about serious rust damage on Chinese vehicles. Seems that they do not treat the metal appropriately during manufacture. And parts shortages.

    Who actually uses their sunroof?

    I have two cars with sunroofs, don't use it on either. Was not optional, I had to take it when I bought them. Given a choice, would not have taken it.

    It will take a lot longer than 2-3 years to be where Starlink is today. SpaceX has a launch of about 20 satellites almost every week.

    At what point do you sell your car?

    I have a 24 year old BMW E46 330d, still going strong. Bought it new for R300k in early 2002. But over the last year I spent R35k on it, some of it preventative maintenance (gearbox service, etc). Includes new alternator. A couple of years ago I installed an Android display radio, which...
