We want to do some research into the consumer behavior of prepaid users. Where do you buy airtime? Do airtime discounts play a role, would you change providers if they offered a discount?

I am busy looking at something @PDSNET have build which I think will fit perfectly - I'll provide feedback hopefully today.

Decided to test out the new air fryer. So I air fried some chicken breasts stuffed with piquante peppers, feta and cheddar cheese wrapped in good ol' bacon. 40 minutes later (I will have to play with the temperature settings to see if I can decrease the cooking time.)

President Cyril Ramaphosa will give the State of the Nation Address in Parliament on 7 February. For those living in Cape Town, getting around may be more difficult during the day’s festivities due to road closures.

During an election year, two SONAs are held – one in February (to mark the final session of the outgoing parliament) and another after the new parliament has been constituted. The purpose of the address is to highlight the achievements and challenges experienced over the past year and presents the executive’s programme for the year ahead. It covers political, economic and social matters, and considers the general state of the country. It also reflects on South Africa’s domestic affairs as well as its relations in Africa and abroad. Ramaphosa is expected to address many of the lingering concerns at present – around land reform, state-owned enterprises, the creeping economy and unemployment – and will have to face debate on his speech in the week that follows. Many are expecting decisive action on Eskom, where Ramaphosa has promised to detail plans to split the struggling power utility. The 2019 SONA marks Ramaphosa’s first ‘real’ address, away from the infighting and political maneuvering that marred the 2018 speech, which was delayed as the ANC fought to get former president Jacob Zuma to resign. SONAs in the past, particularly under Zuma, often devolved into shouting matches and even violence, with disruptions from the EFF, and private security on the floor – a stark contrast to the air of elegance portrayed by politicians on the red carpet outside. Analysts expect a quieter, more dignified address under Ramaphosa – but the EFF has threatened to again disrupt proceedings unless the president addresses his links to Bosasa.

Cape Town - Thirty-one residential properties have been completely destroyed and 28 properties sustained partial to major damage in the raging fires in the Betty's Bay area, east of Cape Town, the city's fire chief Theo Lane said on Saturday. A final inspection of all residential properties to ensure that every person was evacuated was done overnight, while "complete extinguishment of affected properties were being done", he said. "Thirty-one residential properties completely destroyed. Twenty-eight properties sustained partial to major damage. It is estimated that more than 12 800 hectares of vegetation was destroyed. "A full impact study will carried out to determine how much of the rare and endangered species of flora has been affected. Crews will remain on [the] scene for some considerable time to ensure that the fire is completely extinguished. The overnight rain has allowed for rapid cooling of the burn area," Lane said. Clarence Drive (R44 ) was reopened during the early hours of Saturday morning and no further road closures were in place, he said. On Friday night, residents of Franskraal near Gansbaai on the Southern Cape coastline were ordered to evacuate after the wildfire roared out of control, fanned by gusting wind. The Overstrand Municipality issued an emergency evacuation order as the fire raged, with authorities designating the Gansbaai Tourism Office Hall the emergency evacuation point. The order by the municipality's fire and disaster management department declared, "This message is for your safety, you are to immediately evacuate your home." A wildfire in the Karwyderskraal area also saw evacuation ordered for farms in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley area. The areas evacuated by the Joint Operations Centre (JOC) at Hermanus Municipality Disaster Management are sections of Betty’s Bay; Gansbaai - Franskraal has been evacuated; and Karwyderskraal - Camphill, Bona Dea, Farms at the bottom end of Hemel-en-Aarde, and sections of Northcliff, Eastcliff, Fernkloof, Hermanus Heights, have been evacuated.
