Heh. Was reading through a Wikipedia article about Nintendo Entertainment System clones and came across this:

South Africa[edit]
In South Africa, clones, known as "TV Games", are still widely available. One popular clone available in the early '90s was the Golden China; while another was Reggie's Entertainment System, named after the toy store chain that sold it;[12] the most recent clone was the TeleGamestation. Older models looked like the Famicom but newer models resembled the PlayStation, as well as the controllers—but with the cartridges being entered from the top. A "mini tower" version was also launched with keyboard, and black/white monitor, to include educational software. These TeleGamestations have cartridges around half the size of the original Nintendo Entertainment System games, and although most games were pirated from there, some were also taken from the Master System. The box advertises "dazzling graphics" and the monitor on the box set features a modern-day soccer game. Games could be bought in all chain stores "legally", or pirated games (mainly from China) could be bought on the market or certain stores. Most cartridges were multi-packs, or many games within one cartridge. In some cases, games have had their official Nintendo or Sega names removed, and in some cases the original name of the game (for example, Dr. Mario was re-named "Medical Hospital"). Later, in 2002, the 16-bit TeleGamestation 2 was launched, and the games were taken from the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis. Legal action was taken against Golden China by Nintendo for importing copied games in 1995;[13] however, as these clones have been in South Africa for many years, and readily available at reputable stores, such action seems to have had little impact, and Nintendo and Sega seem to have otherwise shown little consideration for piracy in South Africa.

O tell me about it they have broken something on, in and around the shower the toilet and some other stuff here and there and we are like how the fuck do you break it in less than a year sigh. Lucky the person will be moving out soon, so we can fix some things we are not happy with.

R5300 that is cheapish since the recommended increase is 10% yearly.

its actually very cheap other flats in the complex are 6800 and upwards

also i should mention that our levies are R1600 and gets deducted of the R5300 and that amount gets paid to the landlord. we pay the levies directly to the managing agent of the complex
