    One mistake could financially ruin South African business owners who owe SARS money

    More SARS alarmism. They can only hold business owners personally liable if there is evidence of outright fraud or negligence. Otherwise, the tax liability is that of the company, not its owners, managers or investors. That is the whole point of a company structure.

    Expropriation of land for the construction of new Gautrain stations could set the benchmark for the process in South Africa

    The plans repeatedly refer to a Randburg station in phase 1, yet it doesn't appear in any of the planning docs that go into depth on the other stations. Hmmm...

    Roelf Meyer wants to stop President Donald Trump’s Afrikaans refugee programme

    I can understand making submissions to the Trump administration to state the government's point of view, but to deliberately target the refugee program is petty, probably futile and a direct assault on the people who do not feel comfortable living in South Africa. If those families feel that...

    Herotel will distribute Amazon Leo in South Africa

    You have to wonder how much of that R365m EEIP winds up financing the businesses of friends and family of connected cadres. Worth noting that Starlink offered to fund an EEIP worth R500m to connect 5000 rural schools. The more cynical among us might observe that that particular EEIP model would...

    Herotel will distribute Amazon Leo in South Africa

    If this doesn't prompt some serious investigation into what's going on "under the table" then nothing will.

    And still in beta.

    Dongfeng launching a new REEV in South Africa with prices from R559,000

    I refuse to drive any car with the name "Dong" in it. It's not dignified.

    South Africans face biometric and identity verification processes that use their personal information when they sign up for a banking app

    It's only a matter of time before anything they don't like on your social media automatically gets you "unbanked". And to the people who ask why high profile government connected fraudsters seem to get away with so much corruption - it's probably because they're flagged as PEPs (political...

    President Cyril Ramaphosa says South Africa must reduce its reliance on AWS, Google, and Microsoft

    This is the kind of flippant statement that can only be made by someone utterly ignorant of the scale and technological sophistication of the large established cloud service providers. It is so out of touch with reality that it's scary.

    Warning about balcony solar systems in South Africa

    It's not complicated or a grey area. Obviously, anything that back feeds or is permanently wired into your home grid is where the line is drawn. The only Ecoflow product that does that is the PowerStream and their marketing specifically says "Installation must be completed by a qualified...

    Warning about balcony solar systems in South Africa

    Because they come with optional solar panels that you can plug in and many people are using them domestically. Nevertheless, this is not integrated into your household wiring so there is no rationale to regulate them any more than they could a cheap 1000va Mecer UPS.

    Warning about balcony solar systems in South Africa

    As far as I know, if it's not integrated into your household wiring it is 100% none of their business. "South Africa currently has no electrical installation regulations". Well, there is no "installation" any more than there is a for a normal standalone PC UPS or, for that matter, a power...

    SARS proposes new tax rules for cyptocurrency holders in South Africa

    There’s nothing new here at all.

    DA attacks white Afrikaners linked to Solidarity and Afriforum

    This is a meaningless rebuttal. You could say the same about any senior leader in any party if what they say doesn't sit well with you. And I think it's quite clear that the sentiments he expresses are generally aligned with the DA's.

    Black X publishes nearly 2GB of what it claims to be the personal information of ANC members

    Oh no. It would be truly awful if this information was used to scam or hack them...
