We’re camera heads, and just thrilled that Fujifilm has embraced the glorious retro past of photography. The beautiful new X-E5 from Fuji is proof of that. It carries with it a wonderful design aesthetic that harkens back to the heyday of single-lens reflex cameras and the photojournalists who used them.

    Elon Musk’s Starlink will connect 5,000 rural schools if it is allowed to operate in South Africa, it says. Starlink Market Access senior director Ryan Goodnight made the offer in a letter to Trade, Industry & Competition Minister Parks Tau on Saturday, which emerged on Wednesday.

    “Go ahead, leave your wallet at home,” Bank Zero told me one morning a few weeks back, announcing that customers could use its cards with Apple Pay. I really wish I could leave my wallet behind.

I’m the most anticipatory of Home Affairs Minister Leon Schreiber’s announced plans to make our IDs go digital.

    To say Frank Gallagher has no shame is an understatement. He’s the hard-drinking, irresponsible, drug-taking, lying thief and a reprobate father that we should all despise. But who doesn’t (secretly) love Frank Gallagher? He’s the title character in Shameless, an unlikely hit of a black comedy drama that is head-shakingly shameless about Frank’s utter lack of shame.

The only way to get my electricity problem resolved is to tweet @CityPowerJhb I'm told. The technicians fixing the street lights seemingly put our house on that circuit, so power goes off at 6am & on at 7pm. It's been 7 days. I've logged complaints every day. Please fix it. Tx
