SARS pays back R10bn, but some taxpayers’ refunds are being withheld

Taxpayers should inform SARS if they have been unemployed for a full year or longer, to avoid being flagged as non-compliant.

Yesterday, Tomorrow and Thereafter

Bobby discusses the second test starting tomorrow, and Paul looks at the period leading up to when the official number one side in test cricket is crowned. We came across a wonderful website […]

Black Caps tour: Setup for failure

In my opinion, the Black caps never stood a chance due to the failures of its management structures. New Zealand Cricket (NZC) failed the team, and specifically the players, by not providing them […]

Oh to be, a referee

We spoke a lot about referees this past year. I thought it fitting to let them have the last say. They always do anyway, do they not? This is a story by one […]

Australia conquered… again!

Deservedly the Proteas reaffirmed their position as the best test side in the world with an outstanding display in the third and final test. We all were a bit disappointed after the first […]

One Pint of Bitter, please barman

On Saturday night, the English team were drowning their sorrows, as yet another opportunity to beat South Africa, slipped through the cracks. The pub they were sitting in, is one of those typical […]

Oh, to be in England

It was quite scary, reading on Monday morning of the late citing of Eben Etzebeth. I quite like the way Gavin Rich put it: After a marathon disciplinary hearing, it was confirmed by […]

Double Trouble

A reader recently sent me an e-mail that read: What distinguishes a good Scotch from an ordinary dram? One double makes you think you’re single. This quite accurately sums up what happened on […]

Ringing in the Changes

I experienced a rare “I told you so” moment when I read yesterday that coach Meyer agreed with my views on patience – both from the players and supporters. But too much of […]

European Tour Overview The difference between the All Blacks and the Springboks is exactly the same as that which differentiates their supporters. After a very touching opening to the match (the band stopped […]

When the Elephants fight…

Continuity appears to have been the motivation behind the selection of the Springbok team for Saturday’s test against Ireland. Juandré Kruger is the logical replacement for Andries Bekker, as is JP Pietersen for […]

Showtime at the Gabba Corral

In view of the lull in sporting activities, I did some spywork and found the following extracts in the Sydney Morning Herald in anticipation of Friday’s first match between the Proteas and Australia. […]

Transforming sport about more than numbers

This is the title of an article which appeared in Business Day yesterday. I must admit that this is probably the first time where the honourable Minister of Sport and Recreation and I […]

David does it Again

It was not difficult, finding a song for you to listen to as you read this article. Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young’s It’s a long time coming (to the dawn) is certainly apt […]

All Blacks Victory March Stopped

Hats off to the Aussies for a very gutsy performance against the All Blacks. Hopefully Higginbotham will have his bottom severely kicked for kneeing and head butting McCaw. Loved this snippet in the […]

Can the Wallabies do it?

Not one article on this subject gives the Aussies any chance of stopping the victorious All Blacks, on their relentless march to a new record winning streak. It is fearsome, that one side […]

Super Sevens

What a joy it was to see the Blitsbokke perform so well over the weekend. The game against the All Blacks clearly showed that they have no hang-ups, or hangovers, from their previous […]
