He's not the only one that disappeared from posting. We're just used to him being the first poster in that thread.
Even me! Just for a month or so....
Haven't seen a few people in the past few months. Casualties of Kopdoek's disastrous ban?
You want to do a group application???
That's really nice of you. At my current job my boss makes me think I'm under qualified, just so I don't iask him for a raise.
Tonight I started watching a very interesting series. Thought I should share the link to Vol 1. You can find the rest on YouTube.

Over the last few weeks, PayPal has been busy shutting down PayPal accounts associated with Vape companies. Today it was our turn, after 11 years using their services, they shut down our account without warning!
Fortunately, we'd already been preparing an alternative payment option which we were able to launch within hours of PayPal closing our account.
Our new card payment option cannot be used by individuals in the United States so our valued American customers will need to pay for their order via a bank transfer. We highly recommend Transferwise for secure international bank transfers. Their service is quicker, with lower fees and much better exchange rates than PayPal and most banks and card providers. Ensure you pay the total in GBP (British Pounds).
Don't hesitate to Contact Us if you have any issues using the new card payment option, or setting up a bank transfer payment. ''

New SABC TV licence fees for Netflix – Have your say
https://mybroadband.co.za/news/broa...etflix-have-your-say.html?utm_source=newslett
''The department now wants to broaden the definition of a “broadcasting service” to include online broadcasting services.
If this proposal goes through, it means that people will require a TV licence to watch streaming services like Netflix, Apple +, Showmax, and Amazon Prime.
This is part of an attempt to increase TV licence revenue and compliance''

''The South African Reserve Bank (SARB) has sent out a warning about the sharp rise in public debt and the potential impact it could have on the country’s financial system.
In a research note published on Tuesday (24 November), the central bank cited Treasury’s October Medium Term Budget Policy Statement which shows that public debt is expected to reach 82% of GDP in the current fiscal year, and to stabilise at 95% in 2026.''

Winde worried about 52,1% increase in Covid-19 cases in WC

"Premier Alan Winde on Wednesday confirmed an established Covid-19 resurgence in the Western Cape, after the province saw new cases increase by 52,1% over the last week alone
“There is also now established community transmission of the virus again in this province, which means that it is spreading within communities at a faster rate. This growth is primarily driven by two districts in the Western Cape: the Garden Route and the Cape Metro,” he said.
“Last week, we issued a hotspot alert for the Garden Route, following an alarming growth of cases in the area. This surge has continued to gain momentum and there are now more active cases in George and Knysna sub-districts than at any point in the pandemic to date.”
Winde warned that the City of Cape Town was following a similar trajectory, although it looked to be about 10 to 14 days behind...
“While the growth in cases province-wide has mainly been driven by these two districts, we are also worried about the Cape Winelands, which is starting to record a concerning number of new cases.”
According to the province’s Covid-19 dashboard, 993 new cases were reported in the last 24 hours.
Active
Of the 125 369 cumulative cases in the province, 7 241 are active; 114 145 people have recovered, while 4 573 have died.
Winde said 54 people have been hospitalised in the last 24 hours alone.
“Hospitalisations reached a low of under 500 in September, and they have now reached 904 as of yesterday. There are currently 431 people in public hospitals and 473 in private hospitals in the Western Cape,” he said.
“Our Brackengate Hospital of Hope went from having just a few patients in September, to 109 as of today. In fact, since the start of November, Covid-19 hospitalisations across the province have increased by 63%. The private sector has increased by 94%, while the public sector has increased by 39%.
“Critical care admissions have increased by 75% since the start of November. This is particularly concerning as an admission to a critical care unit is an indication of severe illness that might lead to death.” ..."

Over 3000 new infections. Hkgk!
What has happened to Total Recoveries?
I see they have been 'stuck' on 716444 for a few days, which means that Active Cases have seen an active rise, (to an inaccurate number!)
Our Governments official statistics also exclude details of recoveries, without any explanation as to why they are no longer being reported on.
