The article itself is fine but the Nkandla IT gaff leaves SIU red-faced forum announcement errs with "gaff", the word is gaffe

So SOME input gets read and acted on, but not something as glaring as this? That's quite a gaffe to make, kudos on bringing it full circle.

Maybe their IT boys actually own a gaff for when they go fishing.

Oh noes...! I perceive someone forgot their basic schooling with the old mantra of "i before e except after c", which is always true until. it being English it's not. This applies to the both the BusinessTech article and forum announcements.

A really terrible americanism, ending a sentence in 'already', made worse by being in a heading...

“Be careful, the catch is in the fine print. What many ISPs advertise as Unshaped, more than likely comes with a complicated, draconian style Fair Usage Policy hidden deep within the realms of their Terms of Service.”

Did you perhaps mean uncapped?

The news has been reporting that only ONE person, Bongani Masuku, was shot dead and your own article regurgitates the very same thing. So why then are the news article and forum announcement posts written as "Johnny Clegg's backing vocalists shot dead"?

Something that should be remedied PDQ so as not to cause panic about there being more than one, yes?

Sanral and the Department of Transport should stop using Gauteng motorists as “lab rats” for its e-tolling system which is not suitable way more efficient methods of securing funding for roads infrastructure.

The sentence is garbled.

http://mybroadband.co.za/news/smartphones/102957-android-vs-apple-vs-windows-vs-blackberry.html

Vodacom’s latest smartphone and tablet statistics show that Android is the rapidly gaining market share, while BlackBerry is losing market it.

The word "the" should be removed.

BlackBerry remains the most popular smartphone with 3.30 million devices on the Vodacom network. However, this is down from 3.1 million six months earlier.

3.3 million is more than 3.1 million. Are the figures inverted perhaps?
