    A South African woman used social grants to make R18,000 per month tax-free

    Would need to be declared. Even if she does, if she offsets her running expenses its likely to be below threshold I think. She would be taxed on profit.

    Bad news for anyone with medical aid in South Africa

    Not just that, I was on Keycare when I first started, it covered everything a young person needed: doctors, dental, hospital etc etc. I paid around R400pm of which only R50 as the company I worked for then covered bulk. Now, plans have more ways not to pay for medical treatment than ever...

    Would you cancel a streaming subscription if it started showing paid ads?

    Would depend on when/where for the ad. Middle of a show or stream, bye bye. Also whats the benefit to me? Low sub fees? Same fees with ads? Likely would cancel, not a fan of paying for a service with ads if it interrupts the service.

    General AI Crap

    Some people really enjoy this type of mechanic or behavior. To me its like a bit of personal failure that you can't organize your own life or need a daily reminder briefing. I'll skim my calendar at the start of a day but I don't feel the disorganization that would be necessary for this...

    South African home loans giant affected by data breach, customer records potentially exposed

    Hmm the breach is not on SA Homeloans side but on the 3rd party provider. That like takealot referring to payfast. Sucks but that's why information regulation companies are supposed to be held to a much higher standard and audit check and why companies hand that function over to them.

    Things that irritate you - Part 4

    I totally get the GBV and drive to protect women but what really grates me is almost the white washing of "men". Men must do better, men must not.... ah no, its scumbags that are doing it not "men". General brushes are annoying as hell.

    Afrikaner refugees who go to the United States get a $2,450 grant, cash assistance, housing, medical aid, and job assistance

    So recently someone we know got in. Between acceptance, they had time to put up their home and sell it so about 2 to 3 months? They flew out Wednesday. But regarding flight info , they only got that like two weeks before departure.

    Is The Joker the best comic book villain ever created?

    You're in for a treat. I absolutely killed Asylum with two or three runs and 100% , achievements. Tempted to replay City but my last replay failed but that was just prior to Knight and I think "too soon" post play but its been a few years now.
