Takealot under threat
https://mybroadband.co.za/news/busi...an-invisible-enemy.html?utm_source=newsletter
South African online retailers like Takealot are under threat from international competitors like Amazon, Wish, and Shein which are rapidly growing in South Africa.
This is the warning from ecommerce expert and Parcelninja founder, Justin Drennan who was commenting on the local online shopping market.
Instead of establishing a local presence in South Africa, international ecommerce giants are growing their market share through improved cross-border logistics.
A good example is Wish’s recent partnership with the South African Post Office (SAPO) to strengthen its logistics capabilities and customer experience for local consumers.
Through this partnership Wish will be working directly with the Post Office to create a more consistent and efficient experience for their customers.
Wish said it will now be able to offer 50% faster transit times, end-to-end tracking visibility, delivery confirmation, and bundled shipments for multiple items.
It will also give its South African clients SMS and physical notifications on deliveries awaiting collection.
Good luck with that - we all know SAPO and their efficiency ...

Good. Maybe they'll step up their service and prices now.

Chinese rocket to plunge back to Earth on the weekend – nobody knows where
https://www.capetalk.co.za/articles...ck-to-earth-on-the-weekend-nobody-knows-where
"A large component of a Chinese rocket is out of control and set to re-enter Earth's atmosphere this weekend. Engineers worry it will not entirely burn up upon re-entry, and that large pieces of debris may crash into populated areas.
The component is part of the “Long March 5B” rocket that transported a module of the Tianhe Space Station (“Heavenly Harmony”).
"... It’s moving at about 25 000 km/h… We are predicting it to land sometime on Saturday or Sunday… the entire Earth is a possibility for where it will land ... It’s about 10 storeys high… and over 20 tons… Parts of it will hit the ground… The hope is that most of it burns up ...

How marshmallow eggs broke the internet thanks to South African eggspats
https://www.capetownetc.com/news/ho...the-internet-thanks-to-south-african-eggspats
7 May 2021
"So here’s what happened. The SA Food Store, which was founded by Yass Gomes in pursuit of bringing local South African foods to feed cravings overseas, got some very good news. The news being, they were getting marshmallow eggs in stock.
And so, South African eggspats got way too keen. They crashed the SA Food Store’s website due to the influx of inquiries and orders, in the first hour of the news being released, before the stock had even come in.
The website went down for a while but is now back up and running. Honestly, you have to love South African determination and die-hard commitment to our favourite treats.
Other goodies the store offers, for expats who are interested are:

With my luck, it'll probably fall on my roof...sorry...through my roof...sigh
to put that in perspective... it is about the size and weight of one of these (without cargo) travelling at a speed that would take you almost halfway around the earth in one hour...
...and trust me, those are heavy. One hit me on my left arm and just grazed my back and shoulder and put me in hospital for 7 days. My upper left arm burst open from the pressure of the impact. It was fully loaded and doing about 40kph. Not fun.
Tell your arm to slow down!

As for me it's a great solution to start a software development project in this case with https://mlsdev.com/services/software-testing. Another point you need to consider when looking out for experienced software development team is their communication skills. This is an important attribute because project managers often communicate with software developers and business analysts on a daily basis. Good communication skills would help avoid delays in the project delivery and help achieve successful outcomes for the business. If the business analyst or the project manager can't manage to communicate effectively, then the project could easily fall apart.

Did they cater in for the massive migrations of other clients to and from banks due to Covid? Which would have impacted client base severely and in turn affected the above results.
Thats why i dont read businessinsider. Sensationalist reporting for views.

“… Some Mcdonald’s in Sweden are doing their bit to help bees, by hosting beehives on the roofs of their restaurants. Some are planting flowers outside as well, providing a bee-friendly environment that has helped to boost the population in the country.
To pay tribute to these efforts, Mcdonald’s commissioned a professional carpenter to make the ‘smallest ever Mcdonald’s,” that is, actually, a fully functioning beehive featuring a McDonald’s sign, drive-through, an outside seating area and even little advertisements on the windows!”

Eskom said South Africans should expect ongoing load-shedding during the evening peak period throughout winter.
The power utility implemented stage 2 load-shedding on Sunday evening because of 10 unit breakdowns at 7 power stations.
The breakdowns included 3 generation units at Tutuka, one unit at Majuba, one unit at Kriel, and one unit at the Matla power station.
There were also trips at a unit each at Medupi, Kusile, and the Duvha power stations.
