These flight specials during school holidays are great for those of us still watching the news, but I know many people will miss out on it (our stats show far fewer people open emails during school holidays). |

"It is never a good idea to check bank accounts through a mobile device’s browser — a trusted application from the individual’s bank is a better idea — and the same applies to company email and other communications that should remain secure. Consider that with all advancing technology, security is a step or two behind. Smart phones in particular are running on new operating systems. This means that mobile devices are often more easily breached than computers." Stratfor |

The Purple shall rule! Christine wrote to us to say: "We fly from Joburg to East London almost every week, why is there only 2 airlines operating between JHB & EL? And one of them (SAA) is very expensive, especially when you book on short notice. Please Please introduce another airline that’s not so expensive!!!!" |

The Bottom Line: Regular readers know that SouthAfrica.TO thinks that the building of King Shaka Airport and the subsequent steep increase in airport taxes wasn't in the interest of those who can barely afford to fly. I was glad to see in the weekend Sunday Times that the outgoing CEO of Acsa, Monhla Hlahla seems to be on the same page. "There was no compelling business case for building King Shaka International, but the government insisted on it...She says the government told her: 'We want it done now, for the World Cup, now, and we're not going to wait'. She concedes that the timing couldn't have been worse...Airport taxes are set to rocket 160% over the next 5 years." |
