Tow trucks in South Africa carry a bit of a reputation – and not always a flattering one. But regardless of public perception, they remain an essential part of our transport ecosystem. So, what is it actually like to drive one? We got behind the wheel of the Isuzu NQR 500 tow truck to find out. The Isuzu NQR 500 sits in the medium-duty segment of the market and is commonly used for urban recovery operations.

Nowhere is this better illustrated than at the Brisbane Truck Show, which we attended two years ago. It will be more of the same this year, as the exhibition is playing host to the Silverback Show ‘N’ Shine National Championship – a glitzy, chrome-heavy showdown of 28 of the coolest customised trucks in the country.

Ever wondered what the transport infrastructure in South Africa (what’s left of it) will look like in 10 years? I worry that I know the answer…Every time I read one of Nick Porée’s columns, I brace myself. I know I’m about to be punched in the gut by facts that are not just painful – they’re undeniable. It’s not his tone that breaks me. Nick is never hysterical, never melodramatic. He doesn’t need to be. He simply lays out the truth. It is cold and methodical, and that’s what makes it so devastating.

Lots of people take to social media to complain. I'm not about to do that. I want to pay tribute to Lisa, who mans the reception desk in the @FlyAirNZ business class lounge at Melbourne Airport. She's one of the most professional and helpful people I've come across in ages. https://t.co/XAp84AkbGP
Cry my beloved country.
If you're in South Africa, you know all about the energy crisis there - and about life with daily power cuts. We've tried to explain the scale of the crisis to our viewers around the world - and how it's about much than electricity. This is what we made. https://t.co/21kLn82Dhl
This is utterly insane!
Now this REALLY is a sight to behold. Have you ever seen a truck tow this number of vehicles? We've certainly never seen anything like it (which is undoubtedly a good thing). https://t.co/ItDkbgbBxc
