This news article needs editing attention:
https://mybroadband.co.za/news/gaming/215646-what-you-should-really-buy-if-you-want-4k-gaming.html

It should be GTX 1080 and not GXT 1080

4K graphics benchmarks from 4K.com show that while 4K gaming is possible using an Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 Ti, Titan X (Maxwell), or AMD Radeon R9 Fury X, the experience is greatly improved with the new GeForce GXT 1080.

Thank you - the article has been corrected.

The recent launch of Rain’s LTE-A network allowed local ISPs to get involved in the wireless-connectivity game, with Webafrica and MWEB launching multiple offerings.

3 ISPs offer this product - Webafrica, MWEB and Crystal Web - not only 2.

The mobile data allowances here https://mybroadband.co.za/news/adsl...-new-homeunlimited-adsl-and-fibre-prices.html don't match with the info on Telkoms site here: https://secure.telkom.co.za/today/shop/home/plan/homeunlimited-dsl-10mbps/

Paragraph 3:

In wants mobile operators to send SMS notifications at 50%, 75%, 90%, and 100% depletion of voice, SMS, or data bundles, and has mandated that networks must allow users to choose whether they want to use out-of-bundle data.

It/Icasa - not sure which was intended.

This is all South African taxis will have to look like in 6 months

In an unusual move the department of transport has issued a proclamation stating that all South African taxis must be colour-coded and look exactly the same within the next six months.

See corrected headline and summary below, bolded for your reading pleasure (you can also fix the article itself then while you're at it):

As to the above issue...

Come on guys, it's in your own article:

The proclamation, which can be found here, states that:

No person shall operate a minibus or midibus, the date of first registration of which is after a date calculated as six months after the date of publication of these regulations in the Gazette, on a public road for a minibus taxi-type service unless-

(a) the standard colour of the vehicle is white; and
(b) stickers depicting the South African national flag are displayed on the vehicle in accordance with sub-regulation.

"Microsoft has announced that its Game Pass streaming service will arrive in South Africa on 1 September 2017."

It's not a streaming service.

In An 011 number may soon not come from Johannesburg, the following is incorrect:
- ABC is 362, which represnts Hatfield. (bullet list 1)
- ICASA found that, with the exception of Telkom, there is broad consensus on the inclusion of non-geographic numbers for portability.(paragraph 14)

They should read:
- ABC is 362, which represents Hatfield.
- ICASA found that there is a broad consensus among operators, excluding Telkom, regarding the inclusion of non-geographic numbers for portability.

"Following the landmark Constitutional Court judgement which found..." A legal judgment is spelt without the 'e'.

It seems like the team at myBB need a list of telco operators by country. Your roaming bill shock article is poorly researched.

The “wings” will be well-lit from two sides with day lightning streaming from the facade.

Lighting or Lightning? One is illumination the other is a weather condition.

“The company contended that it was obliged to cancel all private use as a result of economic necessity. This boiled down to shareholders being unhappy with a profit of R6,469 million and would prefer R6,544 million.”

Those millions should be billions Dr Evil, this ain't the 60s anymore...

Thousand Millions = Billions so it is not incorrect, though a little clumsy.

Thousand Millions = Billions so it is not incorrect, though a little clumsy.

So if I told you I won R6,521 million in the Lotto, you will take that as me winning R6 521 000 000 (aka R6,521 billion)?

If there was no comma, I'd have concurred with you.

In Eskom’s R100-million office chair “scandal”

The final paragraph should read: According to Outa, the current “mess” at Eskom has resulted in the price of electricity increasing by over 500% in the past 10 years.

In Zuma wants to control the SABC, paragraph 5:

Still faulty I see. Either remove the comma or change to billions.
