    For people that rent accommodation, does your rent go up yearly?

    Usually time to move on when it's 10%. The 10% is just a max. It should be close to inflation and should always be contested. Should not allow landlord's greed or lazy agents to prevail.

    Only 17% of hopeful learner drivers passed the new test in the Western Cape

    Rules rely on road markings but if they are too faded or none then pointless learning them.

    Can 5G speeds be trusted?

    I am about to change from MTN LTE to Vodacom 5G at 50Mbps. I have had good solid connection from Afrihost/MTN for 2 years now. For 5G there are weasel words about the speed being dependent on many things so buyer beware. What have people experienced?

    Cool Ideas Fibre ISP – Feedback Thread 6

    Yes thanks. I want the Vodacom 5G to start on the 1 Aug and no later. There is coverage. She said I should apply on the 28 Jul to allow processing time and router delivery by the 31st. Is this correct?

    Cool Ideas Fibre ISP – Feedback Thread 6

    Do you have any contact numbers. Your website hangs and the help option just goes to 404. Going back then takes you to a different page status - this is just before ordering 5G. How well has website been tested?

    Facebook owner under scrutiny for account bans and restrictions in South Africa

    There are so many scammers and hustlers on Market Place and when you report it nothing happens. They should go after them with zero tolerance

    Semigration, which town?

    Most place are now spolit by nearby informal settlements and townships. An eyesore. It also means the idyllic towns may not be as safe as one would like, e.g strolling and driving around and casually visiting places without constantly having to look over your shoulder. The crime figures can also...

    56% of police stations in South Africa do not answer their phones

    Don't go if you only know English. More effective communicating in grunts. If there is any kind of statement to be hand written better to have one printed they can just copy.

    How do you minimize security risks/stress/hassle with your phone?

    Having second phone at home where 2FA go, especially gmail/forgot password and new accounts , can help but only where this happens - changing limits, adding beneficiaries, online purchases (only do at home) etc. Still leaves much that is not 2FA and accessible to any thug who has forced you to...

    Millions lost, silence demanded: Inside Standard Bank's fraud crisis

    Banks also do not work together quickly enough and seamlessly. It is more about just throwing something over the wall and sitting back. Their efforts are half-hearted at best and they will twist it to be a civil or a police matter as soon as they can. They actually hold all the cards but do...

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

    I have unknown caller block on the iPhone which forces the caller to say who he/she is and what is the reason for the call. I can then listen to the transcription and decide to block or return. There are good clues - just silence, just a hi, does not say my name, some gobbledegook that can't be...

    Fraud cost South African banks R2-billion in 2025

    How stringent I wonder and in any case FICA is just full of random name and address generator entries. Have there been any instances where the banks have even tried to look at what data they have to track matters down? Maybe in case the finger is pointed at their own people and poor processes...
