Can attest that it lasts at least 18 months at -20 something. Buy a litre at a time and keep it between the chops. Not a hint of ageing noted.

How to track how many Covid-19 cases are in your neighbourhood
https://www.businessinsider.co.za/h...vid-19-cases-are-in-your-neighbourhood-2021-2

"South Africans can now see how many Covid-19 cases have been recorded in their neighbourhoods via a digital dashboard developed by the National Institute for Communicable Diseases (NICD).
The interactive map is being used to track Covid-19 cases in suburbs and neighbourhoods. The real-time data reaches from provincial summaries right down to cases registered in municipal wards, with statistics relative to age and gender.
The NCID issues daily surveillance reports, and also tracks the coronavirus’ impact on regional healthcare resources. The institute’s digital dashboard has now been updated to include an interactive map which tracks both cumulative and new Covid-19 cases broken down by province, district, sub-district, and ward.
The data is further broken down into nine age groups – from one to ten years-old, up to persons over the age of 81 – and compares cases recorded in males and females. The map is colour-graded according to the total number of cumulative cases – ranging from light purple, representing between 15 and 50 cases on a ward level, to dark purple, indicating between 1,000 and 5,000 registered cases.
Using Gauteng as an example and looking at data relative to Ward 91 in Johannesburg’s E subdistrict – which includes most of Sandton – the NCID map shows that 819 total cases have been recorded, with three of those registered in the past 24 hours.
It also shows that the largest portion of these registered cases – roughly 25% – are attributed to people in the 31 to 40-year-old age group. Females account for more than half of these cases.
This specific data set aligns with the national overview, with the age group referenced accounting for 23% of the roughly 1.5 million total registered cases and females accounting for 57% of the national cumulative caseload..."

Giant cruise ship operator MSC has given up on South Africa until at least November
https://www.businessinsider.co.za/m...t-of-south-africa-despite-recent-hopes-2021-2
19 Feb. 2021
"The largest privately-owned cruise ship company in the world, MSC Cruises, has given up on any more sailing in South Africa until at least November.
Passengers who had been due to board its ships before then are being offered vouchers for the next sailing season, which runs until April 2022.
While other lockdown restrictions have come and gone (and, in cases such as the alcohol ban, come and gone a second time), night clubs and cruise ships have remained consistently banned under South African rules.
In November a ban on passenger ships entering South African harbours was adjusted to allow small craft, while large cruise ships remained explicitly prohibited from operating.
MSC said it had been working with South African authorities since March 2020 on coronavirus safety protocols. After an inspection in late December, it believed it had satisfied various departments and regulators that it could operate safely, but a month and a half later it is still waiting for approval to sail..."

''MultiChoice plans to make local content a much bigger part of its catalogue over the next few years. “Each year we spend over R2 billion investing in local content productions across the whole continent and our plan is to increase our local content composition from 38% to 45%''

The problem is not local content, it's quality content.
There are plenty of good local stuff on Showmax, but you have to sift through the tonnes of garbage to find it.

I’m sure many of us heard about this tragic/comic incident. I found this video quite interesting

This is also Ace's province, (with the highest level of corruption!), and ... remembering that the ANC discovered the power of statistics during Covid, (and we know about statistics?
);The Monty Python team defined Statistics eloqently by coining the phrase; "There are little lies, bloody great big lies, and then there are statistics" .... sooooo is this the real deal?
