    Fuel Retailers Association debating whether to pass card transaction costs onto motorists

    I remember specifically a garage owner being robbed twice, by having large amounts of cash on his premises. So card transactions are also beneficial to garage owners. At R0,44 per litre the banks are getting a to big slice of the cake. The banks should lower the transaction charges.

    Eskom arguing for higher fixed capacity charges

    Eskom's proposals for radical electricity pricing would cause pensioners and other low-consumption users to spend more than they can afford, forcing them into debt and, eventually bankruptcy. This is criminal, robbing the poor. The EFF should fight this if they are really Economic Freedom Fighters.

    Pretoria chef and restaurant owner loses R600,000 after phone snatching

    I wrote code for banking systems and this story doesn't look to be creditable. I can't believe that money gets stolen before your eyes AFTER the accounts have been locked. The banking systems need approval from more than one staff member to move money out of a blocked account. He says that...

    Eskom: Power Cut Schedules... as RSS!

    Is there an RSS feed giving the current state of Eskom's load shedding? I know of Eskom se push on WhatsApp, I would like to embed a RSS feed on my web page. The Twitter page of Eskom is not reliable. In addition, Elon Musk is messing up Twitter.

    How much do you tip your waiter?

    Usually, 10%, then rounded up. It certainly depends on service, and then the tip could be more. Last week, 0% because of long wait and the food was cold.

    Have you bought from Amazon?

    Yes. The shipping can work out expensive. Sometimes the stuff comes from sellers external to Amazon. So the order is then packed in more than one parcel. Otherwise, Amazon's service is very good.

    Insider reveals what is destroying Eskom

    It is clear that the heat exchanger tubes is the most vulnerable link in the chain of events. Can't one make the heat exchangers modular? One turbine must be fed by several heat exchangers? If that is possible, one could hot-swop heat exchangers and the maintenance could be done offline?

    Clearline Fridge Protector Annoyance

    The Ellies fridge protector works well. It protects both against too high and too low Voltages. These protectors cost +R300 each and they can also be damaged by high voltage surges. I had a couple of months ago, on the DB board surge protection installed for the whole house and hopefully it...

    Photos and videos from the South African pavilion at EXPO2020 Dubai

    It is pathetic if you compare it with Botswana's exhibition. Some of the products on the shelves are imported and not of SA origin. The designer of the exhibition does not even know how a sought-after product Rooibos is. I did not see any Rooibos. Maybe they were forbidden to display alcoholic...
