    AfriForum launches free streaming service

    That’s actually worse as if there is no ads, no data mining, “free”.. well then the funding of the service(which is not free) means there are “other” purposes. No content is free last I checked and there is always a purpose which may not be direct financial. Slap in “community goals” and uhm...

    South African tech companies raising billions in investment funding

    To have a start up ecosystem you need customers.. to have customers for e-commerce and other electronic services you need cheap data. Don’t get me wrong the backbone of e-commerce is payment services, logistics, supply chain etc. in these Sa was mature excl payments which, like telecoms, has...

    E-tv wants to take analogue fight straight to ConCourt

    Someone should sue them for GDP losses which can actually be calculated. It’s very likely they will lose the “greater good” argument in a country desperate for jobs and gdp growth. A loss vs a case like that would bankrupt them if they delay the liberalization of spectrum as the cumulative...

    Save 80% to 90% on electricity while paying off solar power system

    Not paying for fuel in your commute doesn’t disconnect you from its impact on the inflationary impact felt in everything but particularly food.

    Ramaphosa talks up spectrum auction success

    i guess every org that runs stats on making data cheaper and the transformational impact on economy, politics etc is all BS. For your sake I hope your name is made up..

    Spectrum auction delays cost SA years of cheaper data

    As if network spectrum was the problem.. I’m waiting for the “dollar priced equipment makes it hard to reduce cost” kak you know is coming. Where is the free market & capitalism works guys? SA telecoms sector has literally held the economy back for at least 10-15yrs now while others have during...

    50GB data in every South African home by 2026 - NIP 2050

    Aside from the usual low intelligence responses on this thread which is the majority.. and looking past the private revenue and cost which need to be recouped.. This could actually be hugely beneficial especially for eServices, e-commerce, education, local IT services etc. naysayers have a...

    Finance minister Enoch Godongwana tables his ’mini budget’

    18m people receive social grants (that includes kids) out of +/- 59m. If you want to slap the temporary of R350 grant to 9.5m people on I have to question either your intelligence or intent.. you decide which is less credible or nefarious. Wrt youth programs.. nyda I’d say has been fairly...

    Finance minister Enoch Godongwana tables his ’mini budget’

    There are other reasons people remain other than playing currency differentials vs jobs etc. such as older extended family members, health of extended family, support system vs kids, etc One we still need to tackle and why we delayed till now.. children’s rights if you have a blended/modern...

    Finance minister Enoch Godongwana tables his ’mini budget’

    If your earning is larger than you can make doing the same job abroad or your speciality does not make the cut. I thank my parents and wife’s parents we not in that situation, though besides studies it’s also career decisions made I guess. Family members who are too old, skilled in industries...

    BEE and AA have Eskom on its knees: Neighboring countries get power at expense of South Africa

    Our lesson today is about propaganda boys and girls.. do you know what propaganda is? No.. Well you see if you say WMDs and Iraq together enough times the many with less than one brain cell operational but exceptionally loyal to their clan/cult/group will believe WMDs exist in Iraq. Now.. say...

    Worst load-shedding yet to come - Yelland

    The Eskom CEO briefing gives me hope but we will see.. blaming staff when you a manager or higher is a joke only seen in Africa and UK.. try that in Nzl and write about it on the flight back to Sa. Politics.. I’m kinda depressed about state of opposition particularly DA. I reckon they gonna...

    Worst load-shedding yet to come - Yelland

    Capital cost.. I don’t think anyone in their right mind will put capital on the table for a project like that unless nuclear and then good luck finding a project that delivered on time over 7-12yrs Smaller nuclear seems to be in development which everyone is pinning hopes on along with fission...
