    Estimated Telkom ADSL customers remaining: 12,211 (30 September 2023)

    Telkom abandoned their infrastructure in our small town and we do not even have very good 3G, so paying R1000 pm to a WiFi provider for a 20Mbs link which becomes unreliable when the weather gets bad.......

    The fate of POTS/PSTN and MPLS in South Africa

    De Ruyter: Complying with air quality rules could plunge South Africa into stage 15 power cuts

    We need more coal and OCGT power stations. Renewables CANNOT meet baseload demand as they are nowhere near reliable enough. We abandoned our Nuclear modular pebble bed reactors which would have been affordable, so Coal and Gas are our only options.

    SABC sends ambiguous threatening SMS to non-paying TV Licence holders

    I have also not had my own TV for about 15 years now - TV is in my wife's name and paid up licence. Still get an email at least twice a year trying to get me to pay. Now up to over R8000 already.
