@BafanaSurprise Not vandalism, they stealing the copper and no one is doing anything about it

Vandalism is common in South Africa, mainly in Gauteng Province. I highly doubt this vandalism is carried by ordinary People, it is a syndicate used to milk money from the metros.

@carteblanchetv @MNet @DStv Lock JCS Up Already. @SAPoliceService See hello-solar.co.za/websites/ See solar-bay.co.za

Years ago, we confronted him over a solar scandal. This time, it’s not panels, but pistols. Shops allegedly hijacked, guns missing. A familiar suspected conman enters the firearm trade. That’s #CarteBlanche this Sunday at 7pm on @MNet channel 101, and @DStv Stream.

@SuperSportTV Is SuperSport broadcasting Strade Bianche Live? Can't find it on the program guide.

@businessXplain Rollover is for only one additional cycle. Why not expire when depleted?

EXPLAINED - DATA ROLL-OVER AND SHARING South Africa's telecom regulator, ICASA, has mandated automatic rollover of unused mobile data, voice, and SMS bundles starting in 2027. Data rollover means that any unused data at the end of a bundle’s validity period will no longer automatically disappear. Instead, it will be carried over into the next billing cycle at no extra cost, provided the customer’s number remains active. The rolled-over data must be treated under the same conditions as the original bundle, such as speed and access. Short-term bundles of seven days or less, as well as promotional and uncapped packages, are excluded. The aim is to stop consumers from losing money on data they have already paid for, a problem that has mainly affected low-income users who buy small bundles frequently and struggle to use them before expiry. Unlimited sharing allows customers to transfer unused data to other users on the same network without limits on how often this can be done. This means families or small groups can pool data, reducing waste and lowering overall costs. For example, a parent could share unused data with a child or spouse instead of letting it expire. MTN and Vodacom previously argued that forcing rollover and unlimited sharing would undermine how data is priced and managed. Their core concern is the loss of so-called “breakage revenue” — money earned from data that expires unused. Cell C and Telkom have also raised concerns, warning that the rules could squeeze margins in an already competitive market and make it harder to recover heavy investment in networks, spectrum and power backup systems. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW 1/ ICASA first introduced data expiry reforms in 2018, but operators continued limiting rollover. 2/ MTN and Vodacom together control over 70% of South Africa’s mobile market. 3/ Mobile data is the main form of internet access for more than 80% of South Africans. 4/ South Africa had 127 million active cellular connections in late 2025, equating to 196% of the population due to multiple SIM usage. 5/ Expired data generates billions of rand annually in unused bundle revenue for networks. 6/ Lower-income users buy smaller bundles more often, making them most exposed to expiry losses. 7/ Several countries, including Brazil and India, have restricted data expiry practices. 8/ Mobile data traffic surged significantly in recent years, with Vodacom reporting a 36.4% increase in 2025 financial year. 9// MTN saw a 23% rise in mobile data traffic from H1 2024 to H1 2025. 10/ Telkom's mobile broadband data usage grew by 24.1% in the same period.

@amoryxblaine @LeaveDelaware $54.5 million Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann were initially awarded $345 million in fees by a Delaware Chancery Court in January 2025, but this was slashed to $54.5 million by the Delaware Supreme Court in December 2025

@LeaveDelaware The law firm that sued him made almost $400 million dollars as a result of the suit.

One Tesla shareholder sued over Elon's pay package in 2018. The result? Years of Delaware litigation. $54+ million in legal fees. While the case dragged on: → Board time consumed by depositions → Executive focus split between growth and legal strategy → Shareholder-approved compensation stuck in limbo Seven years of distraction during Tesla's biggest growth period. This is why companies are leaving Delaware.

@RiseAgainstEvil Starlink dish and router (customer equipment) have ICASA approval in South Africa. The service is waiting approval.

South Africans can bring Starlink equipment into the country without smuggling it over the border illegally. The truth is that plenty of Starlink products already have type approval in South Africa and are being cleared through South African Revenue Service customs offices at border posts without issue. @mybroadband previously spoke to several unofficial distributors of Starlink kits, who were bringing dozens of these products into the country without hiding them from customs officers. They explained that they did not have to smuggle the hardware into the country and could declare it without issue using type-approval certificates. The only case in which a kit would need to be smuggled is if someone wanted to avoid paying import duties on the products, which is illegal. mybroadband.co.za/news/broadband…

@littlemykonos What happens of you Eating, Drinking, Vaping with Tesla + FSD14 and the car is doing the driving?

NSW is introducing a new law that will give government $1500 and take away your demerit points if you are caught sipping a drink while driving or even at a traffic light. Australia is a joke.

@laflammerouge16 Do other sports gift podiums away? Never been done in Tennis, Golf, Football, Cricket, Rugby, Basketball... why should Cycling be different?

Scaroni on UAE in #TrofeoTessilemoda "I had spoken and asked if they could leave us the podium, but unfortunately, they wanted to take third place as well. When they told me they wouldn’t even leave the podium, honestly, I found it an 'unkind' choice" cicloweb.it/news/839777356…

@ConCaracal Did Nathi Mthethwa fall out of 22nd floor or was he thrown out?

The South African Ambassador to France, Nathi Mthethwa, has reportedly been found dead after falling from the 22nd floor of a hotel in Paris. Just over a week ago, Mthethwa was named by KZN Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, in the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry. 🤔

@FreeInduna Reg 28 limits growth on RA especially when you have long time horizon. Fees eats growth on RA. With RA you PAYE on withdraws. With ETF, invest with after tax money, pay CGT on withdraws. Lower fees, better growth. My calculations also indicate that RA's are a scam.

@eNCA Sunday Times 2025-09-14 More than half of Johannesburg's 83 water reservoirs have leaks or cracks, leading to regular water supply problems. Of the 44 flagged reservoirs, 22 have been found to have such severe cracks that they have either been bypassed or cannot be filled.

The City of Joburg understands the frustration of residents in Coronationville and Westbury who are still without water. While supply has been restored in some areas, repair efforts are being hampered by ongoing vandalism and sabotage of City infrastructure.
