Thanks to @IITPSA's ICT Skills Survey we now have a better idea about skills gaps and skills shortages in the SA ICT industry.

[ITWeb @ITWeb]

South Africa’s growing ICT skills gap is seeing employers prioritise professional experience and skills, over tertiary degrees, as important attributes of potential recruits.

Soft landing of the Starship Super Heavy Booster on the tower at the launch complex in Boca Chica.

Science fiction is now science fact!

Well done @elonmusk and @SpaceX !

[Tesla Owners Silicon Valley @teslaownersSV]

Elon Musk is super human.

What would take everyone else a year, only took him 19 days.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Just inspected the Starship booster, which the arms have now placed back in its launch mount. Looks great!

A few outer engine nozzles are warped from heating & some other minor issues, but these are easily addressed.

Starship is designed to achieve reflight of its rocket booster ultimately within an hour after liftoff. The booster returns within ~5 minutes, so the remaining time is reloading propellant and placing a ship on top of the booster.

Today science fiction became science fact! Booster caught successfully after Starship launch.

Congratulations @SpaceX!

In 2013 everyone watched a jet fly over Ellis Park before the rugby test between the #Springboks and #AllBlacks.

Will there be another surprise to welcome the spectators and players to this amazing rugby stadium?

Enjoy the game! Go Bokke.

Refer to section 5.9.2 of the SARS Tax Guide for Share Owners relating to Capital Gains Tax calculations and rules. This rule deals with the "bed and breakfasting" scheme where sale and repuchase of shares occur in order to avoid paying CGT.
