    More petrol price pain ahead for South Africans

    8000 - average. Helps that part of the walk is next to a river and the shops (Checkers, Woolies Food) are a 5min walk away. Also helps I'm not in Gauteng any more!

    Vodacom 'SIM not provisioned'

    No SMS at all, nor any request. It might have been malicious or a system fault though - however, forcing the network to refresh the SIM worked a treat. Pity to celebrate the SIM working again my first call was a telemarketer this morning!

    Which ZA seaside town to visit in December 2026
