    Producer of Netflix films working to save industry jobs in South Africa with new app

    Uh, I'm not sure I follow the logic here. The film industry in SA is dying because there is not enough money being pumped into it. This app helps people in the film industry find jobs. Jobs which are scarce because no money is being pumped into the industry. How is the app going to "save the...

    Amazon Prime launched for R59 per month in SA

    Any sign of adverts in Prime Video? I would switch as long as it remains the ad free version of Prime Video

    SAPO has spent R321 million on its business rescue practitioners since July 2023

    In 2023/2024 FY the support staff costs were R64m. That is R5.3m per month. If I tumb-suck 50 support staff required (*), that is then R106 000 per person in salaries. I think the BRP are in on the corruption and are just milking the system. * Surely they can't need more than 50 support staff...

    New Sixty60 dark store opened in South Africa

    Depends. How do you feel about jumping red robots, lane splitting in a dangerous manner, turning across traffic as the light turns green etc?

    The man who created South Africa's first Internet link has died

    Very sad to hear, especially the very short time he had left after receiving his diagnosis.

    South Africans could get digital driving licences before the updated driving licence card

    I don't know, the optimist in me believes this will be a reality in the next 4 years. The pessimist in me believes I will still have to go stand in line for 3 hours at the drivers license center in order to renew my digital drivers license every 5 years for no real valid reason other than "it...

    Solly Malatsi announces plans to engage with Canal+ over Showmax's shutdown

    Politicians can't wrap their head around the concept of reducing expenses to match income so you don't go bankrupt. They are so conditioned to the concept of tax payers bailing out failing entities that they can't fathom why a private company would need to cut costs.

    Canal+ slashing costs at MultiChoice amid customer exodus

    And you know what sport the rest of Africa doesn't care nearly as much about as South Africans do? I don't know the numbers, but my naive mind makes me think that cutting SARU licenses would free up a lot of money that can be spent on football licenses.

    Users report mystery 4GB Google file installed on their PCs

    That's nothing! I have a program on my computer called pacman, and when I run it, it downloads any number of gigabytes of files to my PC! The other day I opened up a program called Steam, and BAM, 150 GB of data downloaded! Can you imagine the gall of a program downloading files it thinks are...

    Solidarity vs. Ramaphosa: Who can build the better university?

    I get that private will always outdo government in getting things done, but I would like to know why private entities like the black business councils don't take up the mantle and build universities for Xhosa/Zulu speaking people? I mean, they always beat their drum to improving the lives of...
