    Red flags for new Uber service in South Africa

    Uber trying to turn our roads into Mumbai is cute, but ruins their brand reputation and endangers people’s lives. It’s like they looked at those tiny orange cars from Bolt and thought “Hold my beer.” Where does the race to the bottom end? Uber Rickshaw? Uber Piggyback Ride?

    Trump threatens South Africa on land expropriation

    I’m wondering if whether me being able to speak Afrikaans makes me an Afrikaner. I have a homeloan, so am I farming flowers in my garden? Do I qualify according to Trump? And if not, why is he placing cultural divides onto a race issue?

    Is this SA’s best value bank account?

    So I’ve got a Absa homeloan and get a preferential interest rate just for having an Absa bank account … I don’t use it for anything else other than my bond’s debit order. In Absa recently, the sales guy recommended that I migrate my Gold account (which was R135/month) to their new Ultimate...

    American barbecue in Gauteng?

    I cried when I checked on Google Maps how far this is from Johannesburg. Looks good for my next Cape Town holiday though, thanks for sharing!

    ‘Blatant racism’: Tshwane Transport MMC Tlangi Mogale hits the brakes on Afrikaans e-hailing service Wanatu

    The big issue here is Wanatu branded their vehicles, Uber doesn’t. If you had to stop every Toyota Corolla or Suzuki Ertiga with a cellphone in a dock, you’d be busy. Brightly branded Wanatu car? Much easier.

    Any complex trustees on here? Please help.

    Yeah I’m waiting for their response still. This job is only expected to be a fraction of yours, but I suspect our estate is a lot smaller (we only have 25 units in two blocks).

    Any complex trustees on here? Please help.

    Ok sooooo I’ve emailed https://www.qualysure.co.za/ and https://www.projectlab.co.za/ (both mentioned on this thread) to check if they can assist with sourcing quotes and formulating proposals for some major maintenance projects we need to execute at my estate … if anyone else has a trusted...

    Outsurance vs Naked Insurance

    Anybody here got any good Outsurance claims history? Back when I claimed from them, they paid for two car accident repairs and the body shop did a great job both times … and I got my excess back when they won the claims against the other insurers. But no way for me to say whether that’s still...

    Outsurance vs Naked Insurance

    Looking at Hello Peter, Naked has way fewer ratings than Outsurance, but a slightly better overall star rating. Given that they’re a smaller and newer insurer, that’s expected. I struggle to measure Naked because I have no claims history with them.

    Outsurance vs Naked Insurance

    So I’ve been with most insurers at some point, and learned long ago that brand loyalty doesn’t pay with insurers … the lowest premium with an insurer you can trust will pay your claim does. So I’ve been with Naked Insurance for about three years, no claims at all … and every time they give me...

    Discovery insure (drive)

    Back when I had it, you could fill up at Shell too. Not too many of those around these days. I found it wasn’t such a hassle to find a BP, the bigger hassle is making sure you drive smoothly (although because the rewards system is based on the lower rewards earned between fuel spend and driving...

    New car - thinking Suzuki swift, what do I need to look out for

    Get GLX over GLS, the extra airbags and convenience kit make it worthwhile. I agree that it will be better to get a secondhand Baleno GLX than a new Suzuki Swift GLX, although a new Swift has just dropped and seems more comparable (you’d need to do the spec-for-spec comparison). I think you’ll...

    new fortnite servers being tested

    Try playing Rocket League. I was disgusted to find that I had to grind my way through 16 levels of casual games, and when I was finally allowed to play competitive, I couldn’t get a game no matter how long I waited. Yes you can get 2 player comps, but that’s not satisfying!

    new fortnite servers being tested

    FINALLY. I’ve been playing some Fortnite with my son and that lag is deadly (being used to CS and like 5ms max on fibre).

    Any complex trustees on here? Please help.

    I’m happy to share that my gate saga is over: new gate track installed (ask for an I-Beam support bar for more durability) and the amazing Centurion D10 SMART (secret lesson: you have to buy a Centurion Nova remote to link it via the Centurion mobile app - but if you’ve got ET remotes like we...

    Guys, here’s the answer I posted, if it’s possible for anyone stuck in the situation. Seems to be the only way forward. I am not planning to use them again though.
