Any updates? Situation seems to be terrible/chaotic. Close to civil war. Are South Africans stuck there, or did they all know not to go there for Christmas holidays?

Yes Manfred I receive video clips and audio messages from family and friends on a daily basis ! 

There were some families of SA people that were farmers / business people that escaped yesterday?  Today ? to Swaziland via goba and were lucky to make it ; most videos are in portuguese or shangaan so of no use for the overland forum ;imo this is much worse than what we went thru in the pre independence uprising after the  Lusaka accord between the Portuguese commies and moises machel  frelimo faction ; there are many more shot  dead than the official count and what the sa tv channels show.

If you want to hear or see the video clips or audio messages pse let me have ur WhatsApp number ;

Manfred ,                                                                Listen to what the  genntleman is saying about what happened in nacala port and luabo !!! I have read other previous and  similar news about the militia group (they have a local name as they use pangas and azagais ) 

 fighting against government forces !... https://www.facebook.com/eNCAnews/videos/1098280828670245/?app=fbl.                         Tonight 8pm ( 10pm sa time)  rtpi tv news from Portugal showed large numbers of mozambicans and Portuguese arriving at Lisbon airport with people being interviewed referring to the state of anarchy and violence and the specific group of escaped inmates using  catanas (pangas) entering houses and terrorizing people .

In the meantime the leader of the opposition in a live communication called for a new phase of demonstrations ( called ponta de lança - point of the spear ) starting next week Monday!other 

Inflamated statements in the social media call for the cutting of power and gas to South Africa as the sa government is seen as helping frelimo ...

Thanks Joao. One can only pray for Moz. But SA will be heavily affected. I hope the gov understands, that they cannot ignore it like Zimbabwe.

Hi everybody,

All of the best for 2025. Mag julle kampvure het wat nie uitbrand nie.

I am hoping to be in SA for a trip this winter (OverLand content) and have to renew some licences. I am in Dubai, the vehicles are in Pretoria, and they are registered in Cape Town -  a bit of a nightmare.

Is "Q No More" (qnomore.co.za) legit for licence renewals and reasonably priced? They charge R180 per vehicle service fee to renew in Cape Town and R160 overall delivery to Postnet in Pretoria. Reliability and legitimacy are more important than the fee as the licensing fees payable upfront makes the service fee insignificant.

I saw somebody posting positively about such an organization a while back, but I think it was a different name.

Your advice and experience will be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Willem

[Bruce Turner]

Ive just renewed some of my vehicles online through the Enatis website. 

https://www.natis.gov.za

Received them in about 10 days.

Hope this helps

I just renewed 3 business vehicle licences on Enatis - took less than 5 minutes from logging in to end of payment.

They should be delivered next week sometime.

Thanks guys, this was the best advice in 2025 !

Licencing was a nightmare, I have a Postnet address in Cape Town, the past 3 years renewals done through the City of Cape Town never arrived there. Getting it reissued required me to appear in person !!  Changing the address was even more difficult and I just gave up. Qnomore was heading in the same direction, as they required all sorts of documents and attested letters.

I did it on e-natis as you recommended, and my friend in Pretoria just sent me the pics of the delivered licences.

You also saved me more than ZAR1,000 !

Hi 

I paid for my car license on Friday afternoon on the Natis site.  The disc was delivered to me in Blairgowrie this morning.  Less than one business day!  It is a pity the rest of Government cannot operate like this.  I am a happy chap as I must display the disc by today.

Another example for you:

I just paid another two licences yesterday. One for my bike and one for another vehicle. I have just received a notification that i will be getting the delivery today. Not sure if its both or just one. I used: 

https://online.natis.gov.za/#/

I think they are going to put all these license renewal businesses out of business. 

You can not get better than that.

I did one better in December….. you don’t even have to login into Natis site, Nedbank have added a license renewal section on their platform so I was able to renew all the licenses from within online banking. All licenses arrived a couple days later because it was around Xmas/New Year so I thought it would take a bit longer but didn’t really.

I don’t know if or which other banks have this so have a look.

 

Ciao

I think the other banks have this service - FNB definitely has, and I used that until Enatis came along.  But it cost more than Enatis, and delivery is not as quick as Enatis.

Hi guys

For many, many years I've been using Caltex Delo XLC coolant in my Land Rovers and am very happy with it.  It's available in a 50/50 premix and a concentrate (confirmed with Caltex South Africa).

Although I've been finding it harder to source the stuff; this week I found a good supplier for the Premix in the Kraaifontein area; unfortunately they don't sell the Concentrate - and Caltex won't tell me who does (apparently client confidentiality issues).

But I'm stuck with the problem of having had to top up my system with 1 litres water (in Sutherland = VERY cold!  LOL) and my mix is no longer 50/50.  So I need to get some concentrate to get things back in order.

Anyone know who stocks the concentrate? 

[Does not matter if they're not in Cape Town - as I can always ask them if they have a Cape Town outlet]

Regards

Mike B

[Louis Jooste]

Hi Mike
I have a contact that is trying to find out for you. Apparently there might be someone in Montague Gardens that does Caltex products.

Thanks Louis

I've got from them before - but they don't do the concentrate.

Much better price from Moov Fuel and Lubricants in Kraaifontein Industria for the Premix.

Morning, Mike.

I have been using Ravenol OTC Concentrate Protect C12+ for my Puma forever, and it should tick your specs.

Here is a link to the product:
https://shop.ravenol.co.za/product/ravenol-otc-concentrate-protect-c12-2/?srsltid=AfmBOorHQfMS-bxdKabcNtAIritZ5dnygVLrJrHOjhES19RqvtMi3vSe

It is available from Ravenol at 307 Lower Main Road, Observatory, Cape Town 7925, 021 447 3142.
They probably ship as well.

 

Good luck,
Uli

Thank you Uli.

I'll look into it for the next coolant change I do. 👍

Right now I'm just looking for a litter or 2 to get my system back in spec.  😕

Hi Michael, why do you run 50/50 mix? I have used 33/67 for almost 30 years on the same engine and coolant is always clear when changing fluids.

I agree, also use one third concentrate and two thirds distilled water. VW use the same stuff and sell the concentrate and distilled water separately
