CSI

King to pawn...

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.
