"The decision that we have taken as SAMWU to go on strike is a painful one as we know that taps will definitely run dry in all areas that are serviced by Rand Water. However this is noble, justifiable and well within our rights."

Where is the nobility in terrorizing the entire region (9+ million people)?
...and thanks for the warning we all will keep an eye on your proposed strike, if and when we have an idea , we will collect water in containers , it has been done before :mad:
 
South Africans emigrating to greener pastures may be prevented from leaving the country – or worse – if their application for tax clearance is denied by the South African Revenue Service (SARS).

Recent changes to expatriate tax procedures and SARS’ dramatically improved auditing capabilities mean the exit process is more stringent than ever, said specialist firm Tax Consulting South Africa.

I'm sorry but this article is taking things way too far and is tantamount to fear mongering. No-one can or will be prevented from leaving SA because they do not have a tax clearance.

Whilst a lot of what they state is factually correct in terms of the tax obligations, exemptions, etc; their statements under the heading of "Threats" is either misleading or the absolute worst possible outcome (which is rare and can be avoided if one acts diligently). Most of what's under "Future Uncertain" is nonsense...

SpaceX must have black ownership to launch Starlink in South Africa

New black empowerment laws in the telecommunications industry are jeopardising the rollout of SpaceX’s Starlink Internet service in South Africa.

Excitement has been building over Starlink’s potential to provide uncapped, high-speed, low-latency Internet to the most remote locations in the world.

Starlink uses a constellation of thousands of small low earth orbit (LEO) satellites to beam Internet services to customers using its cutting-edge dish antennas.

It is already available in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia in a beta, currently capable of speeds between 50Mbps and 150Mbps, with latency between 20ms and 40ms.

The performance is expected to improve as more of its satellites are launched into orbit over the next few months.

I’m sure Elon could not be bothered. It’s not that RSA is such a wonderful investment opportunity after all. We in fact need Starlink more than Starlink needs us. But try explain that to the chronically obtuse.

The SA Post Office wants to stop couriers from delivering many common items
Items like smartphones, small electronics, bank cards, and medication may soon only be delivered through the Post Office.

This is if it wins its court face-off with PostNet and the South African Express Parcel Association (SAEPA) over the delivery of packages weighing 1kg and less.

ICASA’s Complaints and Compliance Commission (CCC) in late 2019 ruled that PostNet had contravened the Postal Services Act by transporting and delivering such packages.

The 24 Cuban engineers the South African government has imported to help fix the country’s water crisis are not allowed to carry out engineering work unless their qualifications are thoroughly assessed and approved, or they are supervised by a registered engineer.

This is according to the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA), the country’s official body mandated by the Engineering Profession Act (EPA) to accredit engineering programmes, register persons as professionals in specified categories, and regulate the practice of such professionals.

ECSA was responding to the Minister of Human Settlements, Water and Sanitation Lindiwe Sisulu welcoming the arrival of the engineers last week.
 
Mango flight booking warning
In a message posted to social media on Wednesday morning (28 April), Mango said that it was facing flight interruptions and delays and was working on a solution.

The airline’s financial issues have been exacerbated by delayed funding from government over the last year, with the Department of Public Enterprises meeting with Mango’s board this weekend about repositioning the airline.

A Mango spokesperson said that the airline is expecting some of the R10.5 billion set aside for South African Airways (SAA), but that will require a special appropriation bill, which has not yet been tabled in parliament.

This is the second state-owned airline to be hit with financial problems in as many years, with SAA entering into business rescue in December 2019.

Transformation and BEE is broken in South Africa right now: director

Discovery and Dialdirect launch Pothole Patrol in Joburg
Head of Dialdirect Insurance Anneli Retief said that the company was ready to help solve the backlog of potholes and help motorists drive right.

The Pothole Patrols will begin on Monday 3 May 2021 and will prioritise roads that are more frequently used, impacting more users and thereby causing more damage.

As part of the initiative, Retief said a smartphone app was also being developed to allow residents of the City to log pothole locations which will be prioritised for repair.

The insurers seek to align with international road safety standards to support the United Nations Road Safety strategy titled ‘A Partnership for Safer Journeys’ established in 2019.
