According to NW Wealth research, the price of prime property in Cape Town (Bantry Bay, Clifton) is valued at US$6,500 per square meter in 2013, whilst prime Johannesburg (Sandton) property in valued at US$2,400 per square meter.

The actual word should be "is". Also, the paragraph just above this one in the article has some odd font inconsistencies.

Grammatical error:

http://mybroadband.co.za/news/Telecoms/5391.html
First paragraph - third line



A common error made by some journalists involves the changing of tense midway through a sentence. Although this example is midway through a paragraph, the sentence in question refers to the previous sentence which is written in the present tense. The third line refers to the previous sentence in the past tense. This is a little anal and somewhat borderline I will admit, but is in my humble opinion, grammatically incorrect. I might be wrong though...

There are so many amateur, rushed mistakes on "my broad's band" that I'm seriously worried about the credibility and professionalism of its "writers".
Do you give references or credits to your sources from which you and "writers" copy??

Plagiarism is an illegal form of copying. It means taking another person's work (without asking) and calling it your own. Plagiarism can be accidental or intentional. Copying an entire essay or story and calling it your own is plagiarism. Copying one sentence word-for-word without "quotations" is also plagiarism. Whether you hand it in to a teacher, or post it in your blog.

I just plagiarized that from http://www.englishclub.com/writing/plagiarism.htm !

In the table with new ADSL combo packages, the pricing on the 10mbps + 150GB is wrong. IT currently shows R1099, but should be R999. The correct price is reflected on the embedded image.

Edit: Please ignore the above. I was wrong. Did not have my morning coffee yet.

ADSL losing market share in SA, but not among techies

ADSL is fast losing market share in South Africa among the general popular, but it remains a favourite among tech-savvy consumers

Should be population.

It's still incorrect in the forum post, however.
