ADSL on its last legs in South Africa

-
Image
  By   Daniel Puchert Partially state-owned telecommunications company Telkom announced in its financial results for the year ending 31 March 2025 that its ADSL subscribers had more than halved to under 30,000. According to the company’s operational data, ADSL lines decreased from 64,959 in March 2024 to 29,770. This 54.2% decline highlights that the legacy broadband technology is slowly approaching the end of the road. Telkom’s ADSL business peaked at the end of March 2016 with 1.01 million subscribers — two years after fibre upstart Vumatel  broke ground in Parkhurst . What followed was a sharp decline in Telkom ADSL subscribers. Customers connected to its copper networks decreased by more than 500,000 over the next four years. This was partly driven by Telkom itself, which began actively switching off its copper network in some neighbourhoods. If it did not have fibre in the area, it would offer a “fixed line lookalike” wireless service that ran over its cellular ...

Bobbi Kristina to wed 'brother'

-
Bobbi Kristina Brown has got engaged to her "adopted" brother Nick Gordon
The aspiring actress - who is the daughter of Bobby Brown and the late Whitney Houston - surprises her dismayed family with the news in a preview from her upcoming reality show Houstons: On Our Own, nervously telling them: "We're engaged!"
Nick was informally adopted by Whitney when he was 12 and the pair were raised as brother and sister. They were "always close" growing up but their relationship changed as they got older and they sought comfort in each other after Whitney's death in February and started living like a couple in Atlanta.
The reality series will follow how the pair and other family members - Whitney's brother Gary, sister-in-law (and the singer's former manager) Patricia Houston and Bobbi's grandmother Cissy Houston - have coped with life since the tragic passing of the I Will Always Love You singer.
Cissy recently announced her concern for her 19-year-old granddaughter Bobbi if she inherits the multi-million dollar inheritance left to her by her mother.
Cissy fears the teenager will be corrupted by the "negative influences" in her life if she gets the cash, but it would seem that Bobbi Kristina is out to cause drama within her family.
Bobbi Kristina adds in the promo for Houstons: On Our Own: "They wanna see us fail. I've got one thing to say, 'You won't!' "

It's a sad day in our lifetime to hear about things like these. No matter how anyone can justify this union; it is evil and the devil is probably ululating and laughing at human race. We have allowed a lot of rubbish to go on wityh justifications and condoning of such. Let's pause a while and ask ourselves

Well if you a born narcisist thing like this happens. The fact remains though that they are not blood related, but their is still something called self respect and moral ethics. This world can really come to and end now, I am really sick of all this #$%$ going on.
Good luck to the two of them. I wish them well. To the rest of you with your negative comments, remember; UNTIL YOU HAVE WALKED IN SOMEBODY ELSE SHOES YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE FEELING OR GOING THROUGH!!!!!

Andrew Watson: The 'most influential' black footballer for decades lost to history

  By Andrew Aloia BBC Sport Last updated on 11 October 2021 11 October 2021 . From the section Football Watson was a trailblazer who helped transform how football was played There are two murals of black footballers facing one another across an alleyway in Glasgow. One helped shape football as we know it, the other is Pele. Andrew Watson captained Scotland to a 6-1 win over England on his debut in 1881. He was a pioneer, the world's first black international, but for more than a century the significance of his achievements went unrecognised. Research conducted over the past three decades has left us with some biographical details: a man descended of slaves and of those who enslaved them, born in Guyana, raised to become an English gentleman and famed as one of Scottish football's first icons. And yet today, 100 years on from his death aged 64, Watson remains something of an enigma, the picture built around him a fractured one. His grainy, faded, sepia image evokes many differen...
