    C# and .NET Expert in callbacks needed for a few hours

    I don't come onto mybb much anymore as I left SA 9 years ago, but for some reason I decided to click on the jobs board, somewhat interested to see what people are getting paid there now. I remember very clearly this exact job being posted while I still lived in SA. I had to scroll up and check...

    Funny that this has been posted since I came across the following doco 2 days ago on youtube about him: The Apartheid Killer: Exposing the ghosts of South Africa’s past - BBC Africa Eye documentary

    Cost-of-Living Stress Fuels Crime Wave in Australia, New Zealand

    I watched a Carte Blance episode recently about R400 mil that was put in a trust that came from the 2010 world cup. The trust was supposed to use only the interest generated from that cash to invest in the future of sport and scouting young talent. The trust grew to $600+ mill in that time. R300...

    Cost-of-Living Stress Fuels Crime Wave in Australia, New Zealand

    Much like cguy said above, the statement is for those that have the means but cry foul of everyone who makes the choice to leave for whatever reason. They tend to come up with a myriad of reasons why expats are terrible people yet they would most likely have an easier time than most moving to a...

    Cost-of-Living Stress Fuels Crime Wave in Australia, New Zealand

    Lots of interesting takes in this thread :D The biggest challenge in Australia is the lack of housing for all the people, especially with the massive immigration that continues to happen. This has been worsened by soring prices for materials and labour because of covid. I bought a house and...

    Russia to build ‘African village’

    It's smart of the Russians. They need capable and knowledgeable farmers and they can secure that easily by giving land and support, a small cost to set up good future security for the country. The ANC/EFF supporters will think they're winning by getting rid of the whites. Unfortunately only 1...

    Shrooms

    If you can get hold of some spores then it's easy enough to grow your own. Look for discord groups around mushroom mycology. They send spore prints for mycology purposes only :D not sure if anything like this exists in the SA market though. I never took personally while I stayed in SA but...

    Vodacom and Netstar partner with WiTaxi ad-supported in-taxi Wi-Fi

    If it's not me it will be someone else...... we have many solutions in this world and so creating problems from other peoples solutions opens a new gap in the market for which I can provide a solution to. 1) find a solution 2) create a problem 3) ??? 4) profit

    They didn't because the functionality wasn't enabled so there was no reason up until now ;)

    In 2019, SA celebrated its first smartphone factory. Now it is empty and going on auction.

    Thought they could compete with Asia because they think SA will pay low, work hard and not respect the rights of workers like they do in Aisa :D :D :D

    SB is the worst. When we emigrated my GF still had an account with them. Phoned them up and told them to cancel their rewards kak, they said we have to come into a branch they can't do online or over the phone. Tried to close the bank account... same story. We never going back so she had to just...

    What is a reasonable draw-down amount?

    Personally I would be hesitant to have my funds tied into anything for a set period in SA. Not sure what your advisor has against Sygnia but I do have RAs still with Sygnia, AG, Coro, 10x and Sygnia is by far performing the worst.

    IT salaries in South Africa compared to Australia, the US, and the UK

    Glad you're enjoying it. My mrs is also a teacher. Her salary in SA was clearing probably about R14500 a month, here she's clearing about $4400 a month and she's on the lower tiers of teachers pay. I know you can't compare directly but still, she basically gets 400% more than what she was in SA...
