In an expensive "game of chess", Dave King has finally sorted out his tax issues with SARS and will end up paying
over R700m to SARS. As he puts it: "When this tax dispute arose many years ago, I took a conscious decision not to cooperate with the authorities. That was a mistake."
Still on the money front,
Satawu says SAA can afford the 12% increase the union is demanding, but if you want to get away from it all... the strikes, the demands, the claims and counter-claims, then Mango has come to your rescue with
a scheduled service between Johannesburg and Zanzibar.
Talk about a captive audience... but a nice gesture, so one hopes the inmates took the lessons to heart when Ligwalagwala FM set out to
motivate the inmates of Middelburg Prison with a live radio show aimed at discouraging criminal elements and activities amongst youths.
Finally, while no show-off himself, and with no hint of a swagger (but still quite the charmer), our tame motoring editor Henrie Geyser reckons the Renault
Clio is a swaggering charmer.
