    Legal experts warn that Truecaller is probably breaking South Africa’s privacy laws

    Thb, I never saw the need to share my contacts with them anyway. The ID I get is not what I have. It doesn't always block calls I have blocked so not exactly the best. The can do without using your contacts unless you store spam numbers in there, so they just need to stop that.

    Concerns over single points of failure for South African fibre networks

    But you get what you pay for! Terraco have multiple sites but you have to pay for that redundancy unlike Home Affairs did. It is an economic issue, is it worth the risk? What is in the agreement?

    Concerns over single points of failure for South African fibre networks

    The fact remains that the issue was related to power which had a redundancy on site from Terraco. That is exactly what counts in this case. Openweb had a problem with their configuration so are you saying THEY should have opted for redundancy to prevent this?

    Amazon at the gates - but bigger threat to SA's online stores is already here

    Why would retailers be worried? They can sell on Amazon just like they are with the other local online malls such as Makro, Takealot and Bobshop. Temu will become like AliExpress. Will Shein not also?

    Comparing the cost of flying and driving in South Africa - February 2024

    1. Is this another theoretical excercise? 2. Did you use actual consumption or claimed consumption? 3. How can the EV take the same time as any other car to get to Cape Town? 4. Did you factor in the car hire needed when at the destination? Give us real world comparisions as you do not have...

    Why Eskom could be forced to shut down over 8,500MW

    Would this not help with the power ship motivation? I think that the pollution problem will at least wait until after elections

    Do you tip car guards?

    There are very few car guards. Most point at parkings you have already seen or only appear when you have unpacked your shopping to take the trolley away. Remember they are not security guards and have no weapons with which to intervene should anything go awry. You are of course entitled to pay...

    Sanral knew about fraud charges against Aqua Transport when it awarded R4.7-billion tender - with a termination clause

    I wonder why SANRAL has their own supplier database that can be used rather than using the National Treasury supplier database? Surely National Treasury should be the definitive database?

    Car makers warn over South African government's "pedestrian" electric vehicle promises

    The sale of EVs in the US is already dropping drastically so no rush for plug ins here. Non plug in hybrids are better suited to South Africa by reducing fuel usage while at the same time not using precious electricity. We don't want to be another dumping ground for cars not wanted elsewhere...
