THE HOUSE THAT FORGOT HOW TO LAUGH

 There was no love missing in our house, because there was no love left to miss.That was our secret. We were not sad. Sad would have been easier.In House 24, 2nd Street, Germiston - the Molefes were perfect.6:00 AM - Alarm. 6:15 AM - Mom in the kitchen. The sound of the spoon against the pot. Same pot. Same porridge. Every day for 7 years. 6:30 AM - Dad at the table. Phone brightness on his face. He nods at Mom. Mom nods back. That's their good morning. 6:45 AM - Me and Junior. We eat with the TV on mute. Mom says TV at breakfast rots your brain, so we watch the pictures move with no sound.No one shouts. No one throws plates. Our neighbors who scream at each other at night - they have more life than us.We just... live. We pay. We eat. We sleep. We repeat.Then Mrs. Khumalo gave us the project."Grade 4s, for Life Skills this week: Record 10 moments your family laughed together."I took my pink notebook home like it was gold.DAY 1 - Monday I wrote the date and waited.

You can now buy Nando’s on credit from Vodacom

-

 14 April 2021

Vodacom has announced the launch of VodaLend Voucher Advance, which allows Vodacom customers to buy food and appliances on credit.

“Vodacom customers can now access vouchers from two leading brands thanks to the introduction of Voucher Advance, an innovative lending proposition and the first of its kind for South African consumers,” the company said.

“Through Voucher Advance, Vodacom customers can choose to ‘pay now’ and buy vouchers at a discounted rate or get an advance and ‘pay later’,” it added.

To qualify for Voucher Advance, customers need to be active on the Vodacom network for at least six months as well as have a proven track record of buying airtime or data bundles.

Currently qualifying Vodacom customers can access an interest free advance on a Nando’s voucher starting from R25, or a R250 advance on vouchers from Hirsch’s.

Vouchers can be accessed through the My Vodacom App, while a USSD functionality will be introduced at a later stage to accommodate all Vodacom customers.

Once a voucher has been issued, customers will have 30 days to pay back their Voucher Advance without paying interest. Vouchers remain valid for three years from the issue date.

Customers can access Voucher Advance under “Vouchers” in the “My Account” tab of the My Vodacom app.

Vodacom Quinton van Vuuren

Vodacom said Voucher Advance aims to disrupt the financial services space and create an inclusive digital society.

Executive Head of Lending at Vodacom Financial Services, Quintin Van Vuuren stated the operator was mindful of the fact that South Africans faced tough economic challenges.

“Our primary focus is to deliver seamless and rewarding experiences for customers and vendors in a cost-efficient way,” Van Vuuren said.

“With our digital lending solutions, we will continue to focus on addressing the challenges related to financial inclusion by going beyond traditional methods. We will continue to innovate to ensure all customers have access to financial services solutions, including those who are unbanked.

Voucher Advance is not Vodacom’s first venture into the lending arena.

The operator previously launched Airtime Advance, which has allowed Vodacom customers to buy airtime on credit. The service currently has around 11 million active users.

This New Ultralight Aircraft May Be World’s Fastest Single-Engine Business Jet

  The speedy LAR-01's automotive interior adds comfort and luxury. Plus: The wings detach, so the jet can be stored in a home garage. By  MICHAEL VERDON           Courtesy Flaris The  Flaris  LAR-01 has a number of striking stats, including being a ton lighter (literally) than its competitors, along with an unusually short-field landing capability, and detachable wings. But its most impressive number is the 250-knot true air speed, which its designers say makes it the world’s fastest business jet among single-engine very light jets and turboprop aircraft. Flaris says recent tests “confirmed the assumptions made previously” about the effectiveness of multiple systems, including its Garmin G600 avionics and Flaris Flight Assistance System flight computer, as well as the landing gear and emergency parachute system. But it also claims more impressive stats like the 250-knot TSA at 10,000 feet. Its 6,000-feet-per-minute climb rate, adds the compan...

800 HP Bronze Lamborghini Urus With Mansory Carbon Kit Is Worth $500,000

  Home   >   News   >   Tuning The Lamborghini Urus is easily the most famous performance SUV in the world, but it's not peerless. German twin-turbo SUVs have begun to give it some trouble. While the Italians still don't offer any performance gains, you can always drop  $500,000 on a tuned version.  9 photos This is the  Lamborghini Urus P820 Venatus by Mansory.  Even though the internet has almost unanimously decided it's ugly, we counted at least four others that must have been sold already. If your target is to confirm you've got way too much money to spend, it really gets the message across. The highlight of this particular build is the  Bronzo Zenas  paint finish, which is synonymous with another expensive Lamborghini, the Aventador SVJ Roadster, which presented this particular metallic shade at its Geneva 2019 debut. And while the Urus usually makes "only" 640 horsepower, this thing is more than a match for the SVJ (770 ...

Guns in wrong hands SA Mass Killings

-
 When people talk about “guns in the wrong hands,” they usually mean the risks that come up when firearms are accessed or used by people who are likely to cause harm—intentionally or accidentally. Here’s a clear, high-level way to look at it: Why it’s a problem Increased violence: Guns make conflicts far more deadly when used in crimes or impulsive situations. Accidents: Unsecured firearms can lead to accidental injuries, especially involving kids or teens. Suicide risk: Easy access to guns raises the danger during moments of crisis. Theft and trafficking: Poor storage can allow guns to be stolen and end up in criminal circulation. Common ways guns end up in the “wrong hands” Unsafe storage (unlocked, loaded, or accessible at home) Illegal sales or straw purchasing (someone buying a gun for another person) Theft from homes or cars Lack of training or oversight What helps reduce the risk Safe storage: Locked, unloaded, with ammunition stored separately. Education: Teaching ...
