    Transport minister wants to use taxpayer money to transition South Africa’s taxi industry to electric vehicles

    Rather than dreaming about electric vehicles, she had better get on to what is happening in the Eastern Cape. InterCape busses are being hassled and stopped from operating propery by the taxi mafia while the police stand by doing very litttle or nothing despite court orders telling them to act...

    Cape Weaver. In a White Stinkwood just over my fence. He's trying hard to impress with it but I haven't seen a female yet.

    The Rugby Thread - Part Deux

    I'm glad that Andre gets to lead the team out as captain. He's a great player and it took him a while to break into the Bok set up IMO, but he's getting the recognition now.

    The Rugby Thread - Part Deux

    Yup. But nothing to be gained by showing his hand early, especially with 9 and 10. Let the AB's have to prepare for all possibilities.

    Things that irritate you - Part 4

    Vodacom pay as you go. Theoretically, as I have jumped through the Vodacom hoops, I should not be getting any of these. But I do.

    SA football players abroad

    Are they though? With no facts, I think that the star players for the bigger clubs may be well paid. But the rest are scraping by on scraps, but they're no very good . There is unquestionably a lot of money in the game but I suspect it stays in the owner's pockets. I don't follow the PSL...

    The official 'Learn Afrikaans' thread™

    Buy used books! I'm interested in early Southern Africa history and I buy many out of print books at fractions of the prices of new books on Bobshop. I have just looked for Afrikaans children's books and I see prices starting at R1. Yes, R1! Depending on where you live shipping runs from R60...
