    Motorists risk being penalised for infringements they didn't commit under AARTO, says OUTA

    Well that's the thing, it's never ready. But the ANC always just steamrolls ahead with its plans. Exactly why NHI is now dead in the water as its biggest mechanism it relied on has been declared illegal.

    Starlink imposes a harsh limit on roaming usage in South Africa

    Nothing about deserving. It's stupid to rely on something that may be gone tomorrow. The people who relied on Starlink had other options available. If you use the roaming as intended you also don't need more than a few GBs. That's the reason for the new restrictions so people use roaming as...

    TV licence avoidance costs the SABC R22.79 billion in six years

    So what happened it's no longer advertising? Or wait it still is but both advertising and license revenue has decreased.

    Starlink imposes a harsh limit on roaming usage in South Africa

    Should never have relied on this in the first place.

    Home Affairs' crackdown on corruption results in several arrests in 2026

    Queuing and a mock eye test? That's so outdated. For slightly more you can get your renewed license without setting foot out the door. Same for car registrations, it never has to leave the garage.

    Protests mounting ahead construction of massive hyperscale facility in Cape Town

    In essence yes. Closed loop cooling needs to condense the water again and get rid of the heat elsewhere. That can cost more to do than simply paying for the water.

    Protests mounting ahead construction of massive hyperscale facility in Cape Town

    Issues we have to deal with instead of discouraging investment. Remember those smelters that supplied our metal we have to export and import again? In any case it seems like these "protesters" are just making up things, things that cannot even have an impact. They probably cause more...

    ZADNA announces wholesale price hikes

    Didn't they increase it recently? And no price increase should be more than 3% per year.

    DStv's three most expensive packages have only gotten more expensive in the last decade

    Vumatel's perception among ISPs has improved tremendously

    How is this better? They are still worse than when they launched or even a few years ago and a lot of FNOs have overtaken them.

    Openserve launches Internet service provider

    I could live with that if it was the case but Vumatel alleges they classify by income. But then they don't even get that right classifying us as high income rollout where most people here are low middle class and the houses are rather close together. The density argument also doesn't make sense...

    Good luck cancelling your SABC TV licence

    We tested Rain's new LoopPhone

    The issue isn't with the phone though it looks a bit like an ugly doorstop. The real problem is with their packages. Rain hasn't been relevant since they stopped their R250 uncapped.

    EV drivers in South Africa struggling with panel beaters after crashes

    People don't understand. It's easy for a layman to follow a manual or a youtube video but insurance is very finicky about these things. Even if something goes wrong on a part you are trained to work with and you are found liable for it your insurance might not cover it if you also worked on...
