They should really update that message, submitted mine 29 Oct and paid the 4 Dec.

Crisis ? What crisis ? In the two years that Gupta-owned mines were under the controversial family's control they under-supplied Eskom by nearly four million tons of coal – with zero consequences. Instead, Gupta-owned Tegeta Resources and Energy exported the four million tons at an average price of R800 to R1 000 a ton, netting a profit of around R3bn, which was quickly stripped out of the mine and out of the country. https://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/in-the-dark-you-can-thank-the-guptas-for-load-shedding-20181204

Finally got my early Christmas tax refund

Maintaining the status quo 4 games, 2 wins, 2 losses. Beaten by teams ranked above us and beating teams ranked below us.

Got that from your original post, I'll give them a few more weeks despite what the message on their site says.

Still waiting, the message on their site states 2 weeks for assessment but that was up last week.

Any one do the 947 on their Makrodale Pics or it did not happen

They playing hard a$$ed with me, first they wanted me to submit documents for deductions I claimed which I sent, then they wanted me to send them documents for income such as IT3(b) and even my copy of my IRP5 Employee Income Tax certificate and medical aid contributions even though these amounts are populated when you open your profile.

With 947 fast approaching next week starts my caution phase where i wash my hands excessively, avoid shaking hands and where possible people, particularly those that look and sound dodgy with sniffles and coughs.

Bump, cheap as chips, for a worthy cause and fun day for the family.

Completed and submitted mine the weekend, refund due

Yeah, but just a week earlier WP gave the Bulls a 34-7 hiding and 2 weeks before that the Sharks had their dose with a 50-28 hiding inflicted by WP. I'm more a Shark than a WP supporter (Bulls been the bottom, Lions on top) but they really deserved to be in the final but on Sat the Sharks deserved the win.

I suppose it could likely be error, they started in the later batches so would have been caught and swallowed up by the shorter route guys and followed them and if there were no riders turning left they assumed they had to turn right. Frosty can best answer if their rides will be flagged or not.

Must suck not to have lost a game the whole series, handing out some serious thrashings to other teams only to lose in the final.

First overall female also came from JL group. Usual story, where long distance turned left towards Heidelberg on R23, some riders that started in the long distance batch turned right.

Some blame must go to the riders. I stood waiting behind a guy who threw out his left overs and filled his water bottles with coke. My chirp to him about leaving something for others had him spin round, I then told him they also sold coke at the stands and he sheepishly slunk away.

Pic 1 shows 2 routes, pic 2 it was not clear which direction to take. No biggie we took the right one.

My 2c. overall 2 well run events, few minor issues with MTB event, my number board showed B start group for 34k but at the event B group was for 60k start group so my board should have read D group and on track some confusion with directional markers, other than that enjoyed the fast flat route especially as the next day was the 110km event, craft beer at the end for an enjoyable ride. Road race spot on, easy entrance and exit for parking, plenty marshals and well stocked WP, new route with closure on the the R23 section minimizing the impact of shorter and longer rider merge, cramped the last 10k's but boerie roll washed down with more craft beer soon had me smiling again.

Provisional results are up, details still need to be cleaned up. http://results.racetec.co.za/results.aspx

See you there, B (35k) for MTB and EL for road.

Was at Brakpan Makro earlier and passed their sports section, no 5's left. It's obvious that whoever is buying these knows the difference between the usual "makro type" bike on display and these.

More rain predicted for this Sat, if it remains dry for the rest of next week it will be ideal.

Results are available as a download.

Expected wind and got wind, once again a well organized and challenging race with excellent host venue, R50 buys you a boerrie roll, 2 pancakes and cold drink.
