    South Africans received 14.4 billion spam calls in the first five months of 2026

    And how long before the opt out registry is hacked and spammers use it to make calls?

    National Gambling Board maintains that online casino games are illegal in South Africa

    Yeah, well IMHO it is all symptomatic of a larger issue, i.e. the agencification of public administration into dozens of dysfunctional Section 3a entities run largely by imbeciles without any sensible oversight from their respective ministries.

    National Gambling Board maintains that online casino games are illegal in South Africa

    It should not be a matter of opinion. If the NGB does not want to be considered a joke, then they should lay charges, prosecute the organizations they believe to be breaking the law, and allow a judge to determine its legality. If they attempted this and no prosecutor took it to court then that...

    National Gambling Board maintains that online casino games are illegal in South Africa

    There should be a section in our constitution that states that if no law or regulation is enforced for a fixed period, it automatically falls away. Lawmakers shouldn't be allowed to do F-all about a rule for years and years, and then one day suddenly decide that something should be done about...

    High Court rejects High Court ruling that Bitcoin is not money in South Africa

    It's like watching people argue about whether a melon is more like an apple or a pear, or both. The real problem with this debate is that each side can have a valid argument depending on the layer that they approach cryptocurrency at - i.e. the fundamental technological layer, the pragmatic...

    Is that the same private sector they've imposed racial quotas on down to the level of decimal points?

    Cape Town's elderly targeted for selling baked goods, rental by-law claims

    There obviously needs to be some defined threshold to differentiate between simply baking a few cakes and koeksisters for the local home industry store (or weekly market stall) for some extra bucks and running a full scale commercial operation out of your kitchen.

    Post Office branches collapsing country-wide

    For all intents and purposes the post office hasn't existed for me for at least two years. There literally isn't even a functioning post office in my region. So I'm not sure in what way they can be described as "collapsing" as if this is something that is still happening. If I was the minister...

    South Africans developing systems to stop lithium batteries from exploding

    How often do properly installed lithium batteries with on-board/inverter management which monitor temperature actually "blow up", though? Is this really a huge problem? Just asking.

    How Codehesion won the 2026 MyBroadband Award for Best Software Development Company

    How do you typically indicate at a roundabout / traffic circle?

    In South Africa, the legal requirements for using turn signals (indicators) at traffic circles (also called roundabouts) come from the National Road Traffic Act and its regulations, along with the K53 driving test standards. The rules distinguish between mini-circles and larger...
