    South African company to import and assemble affordable EVs in Sub-Saharan Africa

    What am I supposed to do with that piece of junk? Look I know I'm always on about cheaper electric cars, but what I'm really looking for is a basic car like a Hyundai i10 or a Suzuki swift type of thing that can actually drive on the roads. I don't need tesla's ludicrous modes and supercar...

    Driver's licence card backlog piling up after DLCA stops producing

    déjà vu - feels like I already read this article a few times. Useful info to include in the article would be the cost and implication of getting fined if you do get fined for not having a valid license in time.

    Important announcement about driving licence renewals in South Africa

    From the article: "In terms of the National Road Traffic Act, an expired driving licence card will remain valid for a period of three months from the date of expiry, if a renewal application was made before the expiry date. The condition for this is that the holder of the licence must be in...

    DA ministers on the chopping block, and trouble for all households in South Africa

    "On Friday (4 April), the rand was trading at R18.78 to the dollar, R24.60 to the pound and R120.83 to the euro." Wow, that EUR looking bad...

    Outa demands answers about driving licence debacle from transport minister

    Hmmm, I renewed on 17 January 2025, so it's going on for 11 weeks now and it's still "in production, do check again". If the machine is broken that would make sense...

    What game are you playing now? (Part 2)

    Got a bit of the way into The Walking Dead Saints and Sinners and then had the game freeze up a few times in the same mission, wasting a lot of time because the save point is quite far from the freeze/crash point. I still need to figure that out so that I can play further. In the meantime...

    Wow! That's not bad at all! Lucky her!

    ANC gets membership smart card

    I applied on 17th Jan, mine has the same status as yours. Pretty sure they said it would be ready in "6 weeks"...

    Afrihost MTN Fixed LTE-A Thread

    Ouch, that's pretty bad! Mine is still giving issues, it's super slow most of the time, but then it recovered in the early hours of Sunday morning I was able to download a game from steam about 50Gb at around 7MB/s which isn't the fastest I've ever seen, but it's really respectable speed. Then...

    Afrihost MTN Fixed LTE-A Thread

    It seems to have come right for me overnight, back to mostly normal speed again this morning! edit: spoke too soon it's bad again.

    Afrihost MTN Fixed LTE-A Thread

    Good check, but I don't think so. It shows me at a bit under 400Gb for the month and my package should get throttled at 500Gb I think. Also, in clientzone it shows "100% realtime speed" which I think would be where it would indicate me being throttled.

    Afrihost MTN Fixed LTE-A Thread

    Anybody else getting pretty low speeds from yesterday already? Maybe it's something specific to the tower I'm connected to? I'm getting around 10mbps or a little over that but not much higher even at 4am when the tower shouldn't be overloaded. Signal stats haven't changed so I don't think it's a...

    How to legally pay less tax in South Africa

    I 100% agree with you that would be poor planning. It's more if something unexpected happened, a big move possibly overseas for example. I already have an RA which I feel should cover me adequately in retirement, that would always remain untouched, so this would just be extra money paid in only...

    How to legally pay less tax in South Africa

    I really do like the idea of putting more (max) into RA, but then the money is locked in there until age 55, I can't just withdraw it if I need it.

    Buying a two-year-old GWM Ora 03 at a R345,000 discount

    Congrats on the new car, looks like fun. I reckon electric with solar charging would be a whole lot of fun. Drive for free, never have to visit a petrol station, etc.

    The cost of buying parts for a gaming PC from Temu

    I immediately went looking to buy it, yup, definitely doesn't exist. I thought I'd got so out of touch with hardware prices that I could afford a 4070, sadly not.

    Storm destroys massive solar plant in Upington

    That storm looked super intense, definitely a disaster more than a regular event. A real pity to see such beautiful equipment destroyed.

    The 'Massive' Gauteng Weather and Storm Warning Thread! The Sequel

    Poured down with rain during the night/early morning in Centurion, 48mm by 5am. Looks like a wall got washed down along the one road, bricks and rubble washed into the road and some random pots floating in the water... Hopefully it was just someone's shoddily constructed braai area or similar...

    Eskom chair calls for South Africa to increase free basic electricity grant

    Does government pay for FBE? In that case this is a clever Eskom tactic to increase guaranteed income.

    SARS - provisional tax question

    Well I registered as a provisional taxpayer and submitted and paid now before 28 Feb. I'm confident that I got it completely wrong. I guess it will sort itself out once I get to the ITR12 submission.
