    Medical Aid Comparison & Selection Wizard

    This is a very useful comparison tool. I wonder if there is any way of finding out each scheme's tariff or scheme rates. Most of them state that their in-hospital and specialist benefits are based on a multiple of their tariff rates but it is impossible to work out exactly what that means in...

    City Power defends high fixed charges for residential postpaid customers

    In Knysna I am being charged a basic fee of R 1 435 pm for a 3 phase 60A supply. Back when the DA ran the town it was around R1 000 pm so is not something new that the current ANC coalition has dreamed up.

    Aircon insights

    I had this same airconditioner installed at my home a few months ago. So far I am impressed. It is effective at cooling a room of about 20sqm which has large windows and receives a lot of afternoon sun. The outdoor compressor is much quieter than my older Samsung units. As I live at the coast I...

    Blasts witnessed across Venezuelan capital amid US campaign targeting drug cartel

    Well done to the USA. More countries, South Africa very much included, should be doing a lot more to protect their citizens against the infiltration of deadly drugs and the activities of vicious criminals. As usual the ANC sides with the criminals and heads of state who don’t give a damn for the...

    Ceiling insulation heat reduction etc

    I recently installed 150mm Isotherm and Sisalation (silver foil) in a very hot West facing room. It has definitely made a difference. However a lot of heat still enters via the West facing windows though. My thermal camera has measured temperatures of the glass and aluminium frames of up to 50...

    Tips for Garden Route in December

    In Knysna there is the viewpoint at the Knysna Heads with spectacular views over the estuary and ocean. Bollard Bay on Leisure Isle is a great place to take young kids. Fisherman’s Walk along the cliff tops in Brenton-on-Sea as well as the long stretch of beach between Brenton and Buffalo Bay...

    Over 160 Palestinian refugees arrive at OR Tambo after visa impasse

    Very funny. Like that guy at a Palestinian protest somewhere in England who got the crowd to all chant “Palestini ben zona”

    Buying an 2015 Audi A3 1.4T FSI

    If it has the DSG gearbox, these are known to be ticking time-bombs and cost a fortune (R60k +) to replace. If the fault just relates to the Mechatronic unit then that can be repaired at a more reasonable cost. Changing the transmission fluid and filter every 60 000km is very important. I...

    19-year-old killed in Heidelberg crash: Driver (20) receives house arrest

    I am open to correction but I don’t think culpable homicide requires intent. There just has to be unlawfulness and negligence. If there was intent, then that would amount to the crime of murder.
