    Company using drones to deploy 100Mbps fibre for 1 million homes in South Africa

    Did it before it was cool. We also ran a Point to Point wireless link later when the cable failed many years later. That was illegal too.

    RIP Charlie Kirk

    I think its a lot easier to apply today with modern instant communications than it was 200 years ago. but its a more a question of logistics than it is of policy. you also need a roadmap to get there. Something like: 1. abolish political parties. Initially you only rely on local elected...

    Zero-alcohol driving law for South Africa is like setting a 30km/h highway speed limit and jailing people for it

    IRAN WAR: You can't lose, if you don't have a goal

    Full of BS with Afrihost

We shared a 8m high back wall covered in creepers, but we had some old neighbours between us that would never allow us to climb the wall to run a cable. Neither did our parents.
