    149 DStv channels for R399.50 per month

    Would love to see the R/channel weighted for average monthly watch time per channel. Betting we'd see a very different "value" ranking.

    Takealot shoppers report problems with same-day and next-day deliveries

    Definitely lost money from me since putting free delivery on orders over R500 behind a paywall. I will never understand paying a subscription to make it easier to spend more money.

    Daily fuel price data shows significant recoveries for diesel and petrol in July 2026

    Because that only influences 70% of the pump price. The rest is tax.

    Eskom will need to provide a much more detailed breakdown of its employee remuneration going forward

    That sounds about factually correct to me.

    "We'll do anything.. ANYTHING!! Just please.. Don't make us sell a good service.."

    SARB set to open the national payments system to entities without banking licences this year

    Worth noting that Pepkor's banking services will probably be launching with more "branches" than all of them combined.

    Pay-TV broadcasters face a growing threat of piracy globally, including in South Africa

Even Greens have their place, in situations where you want absolute minimum power draw, and possibly cost, and don't care for speed at all.

    Retailers in SA continue to see rising demand for larger screens, thanks to sustained price reductions

    ".. rising demand for larger displays among their customers, thanks in part to a sustained reduction in the prices of bigger models." By this logic, they should be paying us to get new DRAM.

    Netflix buying Warner Bros. Discovery

    Broadcast TV, outside of live events, is basically dead. There's simply no good reason to have to watch content on someone else's schedule in 2025.

    Where's my R700M bailout? I'm not even bad at my job.
