@TAKEALOT Your response is a joke.

I am in @TAKEALOT returns hell. 20 days after receiving my repaired inverter DAMAGED and sending photos TWICE, and logging a return that DISAPPEARED off my profile, I have had nothing but SILENCE. Don't ever buy from these people.

@TAKEALOT it's been more than a month since you collected my broken inverter. It's been fixed for weeks, but is now sitting in your warehouse, where I am unable to use it. You are aware @amazon is coming?

@PicknPay I just tried to spend R800 on your website, but gave up after your payment platform refused a transaction that I approved on my banking app. Twice.
Here's a thought - try a 3rd party service that actually works.

The JSE has barred former Tongaat Hulett CFO Murray Munro from serving as a director of a listed company for 10 years. It wants to fine him R6 million as well.

Munro was CFO when Tongaat misrepresented its finances.

@Richard_Spoor The SA Law Commission promised movement on that around 2007. Remind me again why we pay taxes?

BREAKING NEWS: Pravin Gordhan is alive. I repeat, Pravin Gordhan has been found alive, in South Africa, and seems to be capable of making statements to the press. https://t.co/BOAPeudBth

The South African government is giving power utility Eskom a R254 billion ($14bn) debt relief package (it's taking over some debt and paying its interest charges).

Despite R263 billion in taxpayer-funded bailouts over the years, the utility has R423 billion in debt currently.

@GTalevi You have to ask?

Dutch bank ING expects to see 58GW of new wind and solar capacity in Europe in 2023, and 32GW in the US.

Growth is being held back by supply chain problems.
