    This! will probably start with the R50 option, already got an account profile at afrihost so easy to manage. Thank you, none of the actual networks seem to want to play in this space, so MVNO (or whatever it is called) it is rather. yeah, we're the luddites here. It will be a hand me down that...

    Frans Cronje: People behind online gambling in South Africa "evil"

    I know the advertising is huge, but I do dispute the figures thrown around on this sector. This article quotes Dr Frans saying 20% of GDP, R1,5Trillion is spent on online gambling. One would have to assume that is the amount lost. If you spend R1k on sportsbetting but after lots of ups and...

    SABC TV Licence fee avoidance at 85%

    Happy to pay the R200 or whatever it is per year. Firstly because I gave myself a fancy name when signing up 20 yrs ago, it's worth it just to be addressed like that once a year. Secondly. It's really not that much. You can actually get a crapload of HD channels now with digital tv Thirdly...

    Third-party Apple and Android trackers in South Africa from R199

    Does anyone actually use these? got some first hand experience to add? I'm guessing we have a much more extensive android market here so that is going to have more chance of pinging in the wild.

    mifi - current options nov2024

    I'm jumping between offices and often don't have convenient connectivity. I could hotspot using my phone, but there are surely more affordable ways of doing this. probably looking at 10-20Gb per month luxury: it would be nice to have a portable wifi that could be used now and then by other...

    Unitrans Vehicle Specifications

    thanks, this is handy but for new cars available on the market currently only. the unitrans one had specs going back quite a few years. so if you're buying a 2nd hand car it was a huge timesaver. looks like it wasn't worth the effort of maintaining the database

    Delivery bike industry taking off in South Africa

    This is one to watch, was not aware of how a foreign car licence can cover a motorcycle (which a SA citizen needs to take a separate test for). I'd love to learn more about the micro economy that drives this, how they follow the best deals/times. and some stories of exploitation and doing...
