    Ramaphosa's GNU cabinet and their political parties

    Election results: South African May 2024

    Vote of no confidence will most likely be a regular thing. I doubt that any upcoming president will ever complete their 5 year term. Those days are gone.

    Kenneth Makate scores massive victory against Vodacom at Supreme Court

    The point I was making is that inventors story shows a "real" inventor can get compensation without having an agreement for compensation. This Vodacom one has little to do with invention. This one was simply a verbal contract between an employee and a high level exec who was not business savvy...

    Kenneth Makate scores massive victory against Vodacom at Supreme Court

    That video says he sued for $20 million and then Japan court awarded him almost 10x more $189 million in compensation. Thereafter the company launched an appeal but the parties eventually settled out of court for $8 million - something that Vodacom should have done. It seems like this guy was...

    The Shroom Thread

    I started off with 2.5g last night. I had taken on the view that shrooms are sort of a sensory enhancer that would make me feel my body and its day-to-day functions. So I did feel my stomach digesting things and my intestines having a war with bacteria and other shitty stuff; I felt my...

    20 or 30 Year Bond

    Interest is calculated daily on the outstanding balance so splitting payments is not a good idea. Go all in on pay day, transfer your entire salary into the home loan then transfer money back to your normal account only when you need it. That's if you have flexi/access bond or whatever your bank...

    The guy was carrying Rhythm City. Ratings dropped after he resigned and the show got canned a few months after he left. Although it still showed up in the regular "Most-watched TV shows" article.

    Who really owns Vodacom
