                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span>If you've received a call or message from a South African number beginning with </span><strong><span>069</span></strong><span>, you may be wondering which cellphone network it belongs to.</span></p>
<p><span>The short answer is:</span></p>
<p><strong><span>069 numbers in South Africa are associated with both MTN and Telkom number allocations.</span></strong></p>
<p><span>The fourth digit matters. The 069 range has been divided into smaller blocks rather than the entire prefix belonging to one mobile network.</span></p>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<th><span>Number Prefix</span></th>
<th><span>Original Network Allocation</span></th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong><span>0690</span></strong></td>
<td><span>MTN</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong><span>0691</span></strong></td>
<td><span>Telkom</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong><span>0692</span></strong></td>
<td><span>Telkom</span></td>

<tr>
<td><strong><span>0693</span></strong></td>
<td><span>Telkom</span></td>

<tr>
<td><strong><span>0694</span></strong></td>
<td><span>Telkom</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong><span>0695</span></strong></td>

<tr>
<td><strong><span>0699</span></strong></td>
<td><span>Telkom</span></td>

<p><span>So, for example:</span></p>
<p><strong><span>0690 xxx xxx</span></strong><span> → originally allocated to MTN</span><br /><strong><span>0695 xxx xxx</span></strong><span> → originally allocated to Telkom</span><br /><strong><span>0699 xxx xxx</span></strong><span> → originally allocated to Telkom</span></p>
<p><span>However, there is an important catch.</span></p>
<h2><span>Is 069 MTN or Telkom?</span></h2>
<p><strong><span>It can be either.</span></strong></p>
<p><span>An 0690 number is associated with an original </span><strong><span>MTN</span></strong><span> allocation, while numbers beginning with </span><strong><span>0691 through 0699</span></strong><span> are associated with </span><strong><span>Telkom</span></strong><span> allocations.</span></p>
<p><span>This is why simply saying that "069 is a Telkom number" or "069 is an MTN number" isn't entirely accurate.</span></p>
<p><span>You need to look at the </span><strong><span>first four digits</span></strong><span>.</span></p>
<p><span>For example:</span></p>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<th><span>Example Number</span></th>
<th><span>Original Network</span></th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><span>069 0xx xxxx</span></td>
<td><span>MTN</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><span>069 1xx xxxx</span></td>
<td><span>Telkom</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><span>069 3xx xxxx</span></td>
<td><span>Telkom</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><span>069 5xx xxxx</span></td>
<td><span>Telkom</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><span>069 9xx xxxx</span></td>
<td><span>Telkom</span></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<h2><span>Is 0690 MTN?</span></h2>
<p><strong><span>Yes. 0690 numbers were originally allocated to MTN.</span></strong></p>
<p><span>That doesn't necessarily mean someone with an 0690 number is currently an MTN customer, however.</span></p>
<p><span>South Africa supports mobile number portability, which allows customers to move their existing cellphone number from one mobile network to another.</span></p>
<p><span>An 0690 number could therefore originally have been issued through MTN and later ported to Vodacom, Telkom, Cell C or another network.</span></p>
<h2><span>Is 0691 Telkom?</span></h2>
<p><strong><span>0691 is associated with Telkom's original number allocation.</span></strong></p>
<p><span>The same applies to the remaining 0691–0699 blocks.</span></p>
<p><span>Again, number portability means this identifies where the number was originally allocated rather than guaranteeing which network currently provides service to that number.</span></p>
<h2><span>Why Doesn't 069 Belong to Just One Network?</span></h2>
<p><span>Many South Africans are accustomed to older cellphone prefixes having an obvious network association.</span></p>
<p><span>For example:</span></p>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<th><span>Prefix</span></th>
<th><span>Traditionally Associated With</span></th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong><span>072</span></strong></td>
<td><span>Vodacom</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong><span>073</span></strong></td>
<td><span>MTN</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong><span>074</span></strong></td>
<td><span>Cell C</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong><span>076</span></strong></td>
<td><span>Vodacom</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong><span>078</span></strong></td>
<td><span>MTN</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong><span>079</span></strong></td>
<td><span>Vodacom</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong><span>082</span></strong></td>
<td><span>Vodacom</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong><span>083</span></strong></td>
<td><span>MTN</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong><span>084</span></strong></td>
<td><span>Cell C</span></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p><span>Newer mobile number ranges are more complicated.</span></p>
<p><span>As South Africa required additional cellphone numbers, new ranges were made available and portions of the same three-digit prefix could be allocated to different telecommunications providers.</span></p>
<p><span>That is why newer prefixes such as </span><strong><span>060, 063, 064, 065, 067, 068 and 069</span></strong><span> cannot always be linked to a single network simply by looking at the first three digits.</span></p>
<h2><span>Does an 069 Number Mean It Is Currently on MTN or Telkom?</span></h2>
<p><strong><span>Not necessarily.</span></strong></p>
<p><span>The prefix tells you about the number's </span><strong><span>original allocation</span></strong><span>, not necessarily its current network.</span></p>
<p><span>South Africa has mobile number portability.</span></p>
<p><span>For example, someone could receive an </span><strong><span>0695</span></strong><span> number originally associated with Telkom and later move their service to another mobile network while keeping exactly the same cellphone number.</span></p>
<p><span>The number would still begin with 0695.</span></p>
<p><span>This is an important distinction when trying to identify a network from a South African cellphone number.</span></p>
<h2><span>Are 069 Numbers Legitimate South African Cellphone Numbers?</span></h2>
<p><strong><span>Yes.</span></strong></p>
<p><span>069 is part of South Africa's mobile numbering ranges. Receiving a call from an 069 number does not, by itself, indicate anything suspicious.</span></p>
<p><span>The fact that many people are less familiar with newer 06 numbers than traditional numbers such as 072, 082 and 083 can sometimes make them look unusual.</span></p>
<p><span>However, an 069 number can be a perfectly normal South African mobile number.</span></p>
<h2><span>Is an 069 Number a Scam?</span></h2>
<p><strong><span>You cannot determine whether a call is a scam simply because the number starts with 069.</span></strong></p>
<p><span>Scammers can use ordinary South African mobile numbers, while legitimate individuals and businesses can also have 069 numbers.</span></p>
<p><span>Instead of judging a caller by the prefix, be cautious if an unexpected caller asks you to provide things such as:</span></p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><span>Banking login details</span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><span>Card numbers or PINs</span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><span>One-time PINs (OTPs)</span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><span>Passwords</span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><span>ID numbers or other sensitive personal information</span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><span>Money or an immediate payment</span></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p><span>Banks and legitimate companies will not require you to hand over sensitive security credentials simply because they have called you.</span></p>
<h2><span>Can I Find Out Who Owns an 069 Number?</span></h2>
<p><span>The 069 prefix cannot tell you the identity of the person who owns a particular number.</span></p>
<p><span>It can only help identify the number range and its original network allocation.</span></p>
<p><span>Be cautious of websites claiming they can reveal someone's personal identity simply by entering their cellphone number.</span></p>
<h2><span>What Country Uses +27 69 Numbers?</span></h2>
<p><span>If the number appears as </span><strong><span>+27 69...</span></strong><span>, it is using South Africa's international country code.</span></p>
<p><span>South African mobile numbers written domestically begin with a zero:</span></p>
<p><strong><span>069 xxx xxxx</span></strong></p>
<p><span>When written internationally, the initial zero is removed and replaced with South Africa's </span><strong><span>+27</span></strong><span> country code:</span></p>
<p><strong><span>+27 69 xxx xxxx</span></strong></p>
<p><span>These represent the same type of South African number.</span></p>
<p><span>For example:</span></p>
<p><strong><span>069 123 4567</span></strong></p>
<p><span>becomes:</span></p>
<p><strong><span>+27 69 123 4567</span></strong></p>
<p><span>when written in international format.</span></p>
<h2><span>What About Other 06 Numbers?</span></h2>
<p><span>069 is only one of several newer South African mobile number prefixes.</span></p>
<p><span>Other 06-series numbers include:</span></p>
<p><strong><span>060, 061, 062, 063, 064, 065, 066, 067 and 068.</span></strong></p>
<p><span>Some are primarily associated with one network, while others are divided between multiple operators.</span></p>
<p><span>For a complete breakdown, see our guide to </span><strong><span>South African cellphone number prefixes</span></strong><span>, which explains which networks were originally allocated the major 06, 07 and 08 mobile number ranges.</span></p>
<h2><span>Quick Answer</span></h2>
<p><span>If you just need the answer:</span></p>
<p><strong><span>0690 = originally MTN</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span>0691–0699 = originally Telkom</span></strong></p>
<p><span>But remember that </span><strong><span>mobile number portability means the number may now operate on a different network</span></strong><span>.</span></p>
<p><span>So if someone asks </span><strong><span>"069 is which network in South Africa?"</span></strong><span>, the most accurate answer is:</span></p>
<p><strong><span>069 numbers were originally allocated to both MTN and Telkom. Check the fourth digit: 0690 is associated with MTN, while 0691–0699 are associated with Telkom.</span></strong></p>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span>If you've received a call or message from an unfamiliar South African cellphone number, the first few digits can give you an idea of which mobile network originally issued the number.</span></p>
<p><span>Older prefixes are relatively straightforward. For example, </span><strong><span>082 and 072 are traditionally associated with Vodacom, while 083 and 073 are associated with MTN</span></strong><span>.</span></p>
<p><span>Newer South African cellphone prefixes – particularly numbers beginning with </span><strong><span>06</span></strong><span> – are more complicated. A single three-digit prefix such as 060, 063 or 065 can contain number blocks allocated to several different networks.</span></p>
<p><span>Here is a quick guide.</span></p>

<h2><span>Important: A Prefix Doesn't Always Tell You the Current Network</span></h2>
<p><span>There is an important catch when trying to identify a South African mobile network from its number.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>South Africans can port their cellphone numbers between networks.</span></strong></p>
<p><span>Someone could therefore have originally received an 082 Vodacom number and later moved that same number to MTN, Telkom or another network.</span></p>
<p><span>The prefixes in this guide are best understood as the network or networks to which the number ranges were </span><strong><span>originally allocated</span></strong><span>. They cannot always tell you which network a specific cellphone number currently uses.</span></p>
<h2><span>Which Network Is 060?</span></h2>
<p><strong><span>060 numbers can belong to several different original network allocations.</span></strong></p>
<p><span>The fourth digit is important:</span></p>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<th><span>Number starts with</span></th>
<th><span>Original allocation</span></th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong><span>0600</span></strong></td>
<td><span>Liquid Telecommunications</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong><span>0601–0602</span></strong></td>
<td><span>Telkom</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong><span>0603–0605</span></strong></td>
<td><span>MTN</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong><span>0606–0609</span></strong></td>
<td><span>Vodacom</span></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p><span>So simply seeing </span><strong><span>060</span></strong><span> is not enough to determine the original network. You need at least the first four digits.</span></p>
<p><span>For example:</span></p>
<p><strong><span>0604</span></strong><span> → originally MTN</span><br /><strong><span>0607</span></strong><span> → originally Vodacom</span><br /><strong><span>0602</span></strong><span> → originally Telkom</span></p>
<p><span>The number could subsequently have been ported to another network.</span></p>
<h2><span>Which Network Is 061?</span></h2>
<p><strong><span>061 numbers are primarily associated with Cell C, although parts of the range have also been allocated to Telkom.</span></strong></p>
<p><span>Historically, much of the 061 range was issued to Cell C as South Africa required additional mobile numbering capacity.</span></p>
<p><span>Because allocations can occur at a smaller block level – and numbers can subsequently be ported – it is safer not to assume every 061 number currently operates on Cell C.</span></p>
<h2><span>Which Network Is 062?</span></h2>
<p><strong><span>062 is associated with Cell C.</span></strong></p>
<p><span>This is one of the simpler 06-series prefixes compared with ranges such as 060, 064 and 065.</span></p>
<p><span>However, mobile number portability still means an individual 062 number may subsequently have moved to another network.</span></p>
<h2><span>Which Network Is 063?</span></h2>
<p><strong><span>063 numbers can originally be from either MTN or Vodacom.</span></strong></p>
<p><span>The range is divided into smaller blocks:</span></p>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<th><span>Number starts with</span></th>
<th><span>Original allocation</span></th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong><span>0630–0635</span></strong></td>
<td><span>MTN</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong><span>0636–0637</span></strong></td>
<td><span>Vodacom</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong><span>Other 063 blocks</span></strong></td>
<td><span>Allocations may vary</span></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p><span>For example, an </span><strong><span>0632</span></strong><span> number would traditionally point to MTN, whereas </span><strong><span>0636</span></strong><span> would point to Vodacom.</span></p>
<p><span>Again, this identifies the original allocation rather than guaranteeing the person's current network.</span></p>
<h2><span>Which Network Is 064?</span></h2>
<p><strong><span>064 is shared between MTN, Cell C and Vodacom.</span></strong></p>
<p><span>The original allocations include:</span></p>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<th><span>Number starts with</span></th>
<th><span>Original allocation</span></th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong><span>0640</span></strong></td>
<td><span>MTN</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong><span>0641–0645</span></strong></td>
<td><span>Cell C</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong><span>0646–0649</span></strong></td>
<td><span>Vodacom</span></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p><span>This makes 064 another prefix where the first three digits alone aren't enough.</span></p>
<p><span>An </span><strong><span>0642</span></strong><span> number, for example, was originally associated with Cell C, while </span><strong><span>0648</span></strong><span> was originally associated with Vodacom.</span></p>
<h2><span>Which Network Is 065?</span></h2>
<p><strong><span>065 is shared between Cell C, MTN and Telkom.</span></strong></p>
<p><span>The number blocks have historically included:</span></p>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<th><span>Number starts with</span></th>
<th><span>Original allocation</span></th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong><span>0650–0654</span></strong></td>
<td><span>Cell C</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong><span>0655–0657</span></strong></td>
<td><span>MTN</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong><span>0658–0659</span></strong></td>
<td><span>Telkom</span></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p><span>Therefore:</span></p>
<p><strong><span>0652</span></strong><span> → originally Cell C</span><br /><strong><span>0656</span></strong><span> → originally MTN</span><br /><strong><span>0659</span></strong><span> → originally Telkom</span></p>
<p><span>Number portability can still change the current network.</span></p>
<h2><span>Which Network Is 066?</span></h2>
<p><strong><span>066 is primarily associated with Vodacom.</span></strong></p>
<p><span>Compared with many of the other 06-series numbers, this makes 066 relatively easy to identify from its original allocation.</span></p>
<p><span>That doesn't necessarily mean every person using an 066 number today is still a Vodacom customer, since the number may have been ported.</span></p>
<h2><span>Which Network Is 067?</span></h2>
<p><strong><span>067 numbers are shared between Telkom and Vodacom.</span></strong></p>
<p><span>Historical allocations include:</span></p>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>

<p><span>For example, </span><strong><span>0674</span></strong><span> originally indicates Vodacom, while </span><strong><span>0678</span></strong><span> indicates Telkom.</span></p>
<h2><span>Which Network Is 068?</span></h2>
<p><strong><span>068 numbers are primarily split between Telkom and MTN.</span></strong></p>
<p><span>The original number blocks include:</span></p>

</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong><span>0686–0689</span></strong></td>
<td><span>MTN</span></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p><span>So an </span><strong><span>0682</span></strong><span> number was originally associated with Telkom, while an </span><strong><span>0688</span></strong><span> number was originally associated with MTN.</span></p>
<h2><span>Which Network Is 069?</span></h2>
<p><strong><span>069 numbers are associated primarily with MTN and Telkom allocations.</span></strong></p>
<p><span>The range has historically been divided as follows:</span></p>
<table>

<tr>
<th><span>Number starts with</span></th>
<th><span>Original allocation</span></th>

<tr>

<tr>
<td><strong><span>0691–0699</span></strong></td>
<td><span>Telkom</span></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p><span>This means an </span><strong><span>0690</span></strong><span> number and an </span><strong><span>0695</span></strong><span> number do not necessarily originate from the same network even though both start with 069.</span></p>
<p><span>This distinction is particularly important because asking </span><strong><span>"Which network is 069?"</span></strong><span> doesn't have a single-network answer.</span></p>
<h2><span>What About 071, 072, 073 and Other 07 Numbers?</span></h2>
<p><span>South Africa's older 07-series numbers are generally easier to recognise.</span></p>

<p><span>082 and 083 are particularly recognisable because they were among the original cellphone prefixes used by Vodacom and MTN respectively.</span></p>
<h2><span>Why Does South Africa Have So Many Cellphone Prefixes?</span></h2>
<p><span>South Africa's mobile market has expanded enormously since the first GSM networks launched.</span></p>
<p><span>As the number of mobile subscribers, SIM cards and connected devices increased, additional number ranges had to be made available.</span></p>
<p><span>ICASA, the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa, manages the country's national numbering resources. Modern ranges can be allocated in smaller blocks, which is why newer prefixes such as 060, 064 and 065 can be shared by multiple operators rather than belonging entirely to one network.</span></p>
<h2><span>Can I Tell Who Owns a Number From the Prefix?</span></h2>
<p><strong><span>No.</span></strong></p>
<p><span>A cellphone prefix can provide information about the number range and its original network allocation, but it does not reveal the identity of the person who owns the number.</span></p>
<p><span>You should also be cautious of websites or services claiming they can reveal the personal identity of an unknown caller simply from a South African cellphone number.</span></p>
<h2><span>Can I Tell If a Number Is a Scam From Its Prefix?</span></h2>
<p><strong><span>No. A particular cellphone prefix does not mean a call is legitimate or a scam.</span></strong></p>
<p><span>Scammers can use ordinary South African cellphone numbers, and legitimate people and businesses can use any of the normal mobile number ranges.</span></p>
<p><span>An unfamiliar 060, 069, 072 or 082 number should therefore not automatically be considered suspicious simply because of its prefix.</span></p>
<p><span>If an unknown caller asks for passwords, OTPs, banking credentials or other sensitive information, do not provide it simply because the number appears to be South African.</span></p>
<h2><span>Quick Reference: Major South African Mobile Prefixes</span></h2>
<p><span>If you just want the short version:</span></p>
<p><strong><span>Vodacom:</span></strong><span> traditionally includes 072, 076, 079 and 082, plus portions of several newer ranges.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>MTN:</span></strong><span> traditionally includes 073, 078 and 083, plus portions of several newer ranges.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>Cell C:</span></strong><span> traditionally includes 062, 074 and 084, plus portions of newer ranges such as 061, 064 and 065.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>Telkom:</span></strong><span> has significant allocations within newer ranges including 060, 061, 065, 067, 068, 069 and 081.</span></p>
<p><span>The newer </span><strong><span>06x numbers are often shared at sub-prefix level</span></strong><span>, so checking four digits rather than only the first three can give a much better indication of the number's original network.</span></p>
<p><span>And because South Africa supports mobile number portability, </span><strong><span>none of these prefixes can guarantee which network a number is currently using</span></strong><span>.</span></p>

<p><span>There are additional derivatives and high-performance versions available, particularly from BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volvo and Porsche, but the table above gives a useful overview of the major EV models and starting points currently available to South African buyers.</span></p>
<h2><span>Some Interesting Standouts</span></h2>
<p><strong><span>Cheapest EV: Geely E2 – from R339,900.</span></strong></p>
<p><span>The Geely E2 has pushed the entry price for a new EV in South Africa down to roughly the same territory as many ordinary petrol hatchbacks and crossovers. It offers a 39.4 kWh battery and a claimed </span><strong><span>325 km WLTP range</span></strong><span>.</span></p>
<p><span>That makes the E2 particularly interesting because its range figure is quoted using the stricter WLTP test rather than some of the more optimistic Chinese testing standards.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>Very affordable alternative: BYD Dolphin Surf – from R341,900.</span></strong></p>
<p><span>The Dolphin Surf sits just above the Geely E2 in price and is aimed primarily at urban driving. Depending on the version, the battery is approximately 30–39 kWh with claimed range of roughly </span><strong><span>220–300 km</span></strong><span>.</span></p>
<p><span>For someone who mainly commutes and can charge at home, that could be considerably more range than is actually required on most days.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>Interesting budget option: Dongfeng Box – from R349,000.</span></strong></p>
<p><span>The Dongfeng Box offers a 43.9 kWh battery and a claimed </span><strong><span>430 km CLTC range</span></strong><span>.</span></p>
<p><span>The important caveat is that CLTC figures tend to be more optimistic than WLTP figures, so buyers shouldn't assume it will necessarily travel 430 km under normal South African driving conditions. A more conservative real-world expectation is around 300 km depending on conditions.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>Affordable family EV: Dongfeng 06 – from R499,000.</span></strong></p>
<p><span>The Dongfeng 06 is particularly interesting because it moves EVs into the family-SUV category for under R500,000.</span></p>
<p><span>It is roughly Corolla Cross-sized and offers two battery options, with claimed CLTC ranges of </span><strong><span>401 km and 471 km</span></strong><span>.</span></p>
<p><span>For buyers who previously liked the idea of an EV but needed something larger than a small hatchback, vehicles such as the 06 significantly change the equation.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>Value family SUV: Jaecoo J5 EV – R549,900.</span></strong></p>
<p><span>The J5 EV combines a 58.9 kWh LFP battery with a </span><strong><span>402 km WLTC range</span></strong><span>, 155 kW electric motor and 130 kW DC fast charging.</span></p>
<p><span>Its roughly Corolla Cross-sized dimensions and sub-R550,000 price make it one of the more interesting electric family SUVs currently available.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>Long-range value option: GWM Ora 5 BEV – from R549,900.</span></strong></p>
<p><span>The electric version of the Ora 5 starts at R549,900 and uses a 58.3 kWh battery, with a claimed range of up to approximately </span><strong><span>500 km</span></strong><span>.</span></p>
<p><span>That gives it one of the more interesting combinations of price, vehicle size and claimed range in the sub-R600,000 market.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>RAV4-sized option: Geely E5 – from R699,999.</span></strong></p>
<p><span>The Geely E5 is the fully electric sibling of the E5 EM-i plug-in hybrid. It uses a 60.22 kWh battery and offers up to </span><strong><span>430 km WLTP range</span></strong><span>.</span></p>
<p><span>At approximately R700,000, you're getting a proper RAV4/Tiguan-sized family SUV rather than a small city EV.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>Premium compact performance: Volvo EX30 – from R735,500.</span></strong></p>
<p><span>The EX30 is physically relatively compact but offers serious performance. The entry Single Motor offers around </span><strong><span>344 km WLTP range</span></strong><span>, while the Extended Range model can reach approximately </span><strong><span>476 km</span></strong><span>.</span></p>
<p><span>Higher-performance versions can accelerate from 0–100 km/h in around 3.6 seconds.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>Interesting electric sedan: Dongfeng 007 – from R799,000.</span></strong></p>
<p><span>The Dongfeng 007 is one of the more unusual additions to the South African EV market.</span></p>
<p><span>Depending on the version, it offers </span><strong><span>530–620 km CLTC range</span></strong><span>, while the flagship AWD version produces up to 400 kW and can accelerate from 0–100 km/h in under four seconds.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>Long-range newcomer: Mercedes-Benz CLA Electric – from R1,141,000.</span></strong></p>
<p><span>The new electric CLA is particularly noteworthy for its claimed range of up to </span><strong><span>792 km WLTP</span></strong><span>.</span></p>
<p><span>That is significantly more than most EVs currently available locally and starts to address one of the biggest concerns South African buyers have about long-distance EV travel.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>Luxury long-distance option: BMW iX – from R2,249,000.</span></strong></p>
<p><span>The current BMW iX offers up to approximately </span><strong><span>600 km WLTP range</span></strong><span>, combining long-distance capability with the size of a large luxury SUV.</span></p>
<h2><span>EV vs Petrol Car</span></h2>
<p><span>Unlike a hybrid or plug-in hybrid, a fully electric vehicle has </span><strong><span>no petrol engine at all</span></strong><span>.</span></p>
<p><span>Instead, the vehicle stores electricity in a large battery and uses one or more electric motors to drive the wheels.</span></p>
<p><span>For everyday commuting, this can make an EV particularly attractive if you can charge at home. Rather than visiting a petrol station, the vehicle can simply be plugged in overnight and start each morning with a charged battery.</span></p>
<p><span>The trade-off comes on longer journeys. A petrol vehicle can refuel almost anywhere in a few minutes, while an EV requires access to a compatible charger and generally takes longer to recharge.</span></p>
<p><span>For many South African buyers, therefore, the most important questions aren't simply </span><em><span>"How far can this EV travel?"</span></em><span> but rather:</span></p>
<p><strong><span>How far do I normally drive each day, can I charge at home, and how often do I actually drive more than 300–400 km in one trip?</span></strong></p>
<p><span>If most of your driving consists of commuting and local trips, even an EV with a 300 km range could potentially require charging only a few times per week.</span></p>
<h2><span>Understanding EV Range Figures</span></h2>
<p><span>One important consideration when comparing electric cars is that manufacturers don't all quote range using the same testing standard.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>WLTP</span></strong><span> is generally the most useful figure for comparison and tends to be more representative of real-world driving.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>NEDC</span></strong><span> is an older and generally more optimistic testing standard.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>CLTC</span></strong><span> is the Chinese testing standard and can produce substantially higher range figures than drivers are likely to achieve during normal mixed driving.</span></p>
<p><span>For example, a vehicle advertising </span><strong><span>430 km CLTC</span></strong><span> should not automatically be considered equivalent to another vehicle advertising </span><strong><span>430 km WLTP</span></strong><span>.</span></p>
<p><span>Real-world range will also depend on speed, temperature, terrain, air-conditioning use, vehicle load and driving style.</span></p>
<h2><span>South Africa's EV Market Has Changed Quickly</span></h2>
<p><span>Perhaps the biggest change isn't the arrival of R2 million luxury EVs – it is what's happening below R600,000.</span></p>
<p><span>South African buyers can now choose between EVs such as the Geely E2, BYD Dolphin Surf, Dongfeng Box, Chery Q, Dongfeng 06, iCAUR V23, BYD Atto 2 EV, Jaecoo J5 EV and GWM Ora 5.</span></p>
<p><span>A few years ago, buying a new EV in South Africa generally meant spending close to R1 million or more. There are now electric cars starting at roughly </span><strong><span>R340,000</span></strong><span>, while roughly </span><strong><span>R500,000–R700,000</span></strong><span> can buy a genuine electric family SUV.</span></p>
<p><span>That makes the EV-versus-petrol comparison considerably more interesting than it used to be.</span></p>
<h3><span>A note on the figures</span></h3>
<p><span>Prices and specifications change regularly, particularly as manufacturers introduce new derivatives and special offers.</span></p>
<p><span>Range figures are manufacturer claims measured under specific test conditions and should not be interpreted as guaranteed real-world range. Where possible, the testing standard has been identified because a WLTP, NEDC and CLTC range figure cannot be directly compared.</span></p>
<p><span>The ICE vehicle comparisons are approximate exterior-size references designed to make the dimensions easier to understand. They do not imply that the vehicles are necessarily direct competitors.</span></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>T</span><span>here are also considerably more expensive performance/luxury PHEVs available from BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Range Rover and Lamborghini, but the table above covers most of the models likely to be cross-shopped as everyday vehicles.</span></p>
<h2><span>Some Interesting Standouts</span></h2>
<p><strong><span>Cheapest PHEV:</span></strong><span> BYD Atto 2 DM-i – from R449,900.</span><br /><span>BYD has pushed the entry point for a plug-in hybrid well below where it was only a year ago. The Atto 2 is available in Comfort at R449,900 and Dynamic at R489,900.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>Cheapest larger family PHEV:</span></strong><span> BYD Sealion 5 – from R509,900.</span><br /><span>The Sealion 5 offers around 52 km of electric driving before relying on its petrol-hybrid system.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>Interesting value option:</span></strong><span> Geely E5 EM-i – from R599,999.</span><br /><span>It offers around 83 km of claimed electric range and up to roughly 943 km combined range.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>Long-range affordable option:</span></strong><span> Chery Tiggo 7 PHEV – from R619,900.</span><br /><span>The Tiggo 7 offers around 95 km of claimed EV range and approximately 1,200 km total petrol/electric range.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>Performance/value option:</span></strong><span> Haval H6 GT PHEV – R799,900.</span><br /><span>This is one of the more interesting PHEVs currently available: 321 kW, 762 Nm, AWD and a claimed </span><strong><span>180 km electric range</span></strong><span>.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>Long-range seven-seater:</span></strong><span> Chery Tiggo 9 PHEV Vanguard AWD – R989,900.</span><br /><span>The flagship version has a much larger battery than the Pinnacle and claims </span><strong><span>160 km of electric-only range</span></strong><span>, while retaining seven seats. The cheaper R839,900 Pinnacle claims 90 km.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>PHEV bakkie:</span></strong><span> BYD Shark 6 – R989,900.</span><br /><span>The Shark combines a 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine with electric motors, producing 321 kW and 650 Nm, with a claimed </span><strong><span>85 km pure-electric range</span></strong><span>.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>Longest-range mainstream SUV:</span></strong><span> The Toyota RAV4 PHEV claims around </span><strong><span>142 km</span></strong><span> of electric range, while the Omoda C9 PHEV claims around </span><strong><span>150 km</span></strong><span>. The Haval H6 GT PHEV goes even further on paper at </span><strong><span>180 km</span></strong><span>.</span></p>
<h2><span>PHEV vs Normal Hybrid</span></h2>
<p><span>A normal hybrid such as a Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid has a relatively small battery that charges itself while driving. You don't plug it in and it can only travel very short distances purely electrically.</span></p>
<p><span>A </span><strong><span>PHEV</span></strong><span> has a much larger battery and charging port. If your daily commute is within its electric range and you charge at home every night, you can potentially do most normal weekday driving without using much petrol. The petrol engine is still there for longer journeys.</span></p>
<p><span>That makes PHEVs particularly interesting in South Africa: you can use the vehicle almost like an EV for commuting without being dependent on public charging infrastructure when travelling long distances.</span></p>
<h3><span>A note on the figures</span></h3>
<p><span>Prices and specifications change regularly, and dealers may advertise discounts below the manufacturer's recommended price. Electric ranges are manufacturer-claimed figures measured under specific test conditions, so real-world range will normally vary with speed, weather, air-conditioning use, terrain and driving style.</span></p>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Springboks will face the All Blacks at <strong>11:00 PM South African time on Saturday, 12 September 2026</strong>.</p>
<p>Yes, it is a very late kickoff for South African rugby supporters. The unusual starting time is because the fourth and final Test is being played at the M&amp;T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, United States.</p>
<h2>Springboks vs All Blacks match details</h2>
<ul>
<li>
<p><strong>Date:</strong> Saturday, 12 September 2026</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Kickoff:</strong> 11:00 PM SAST</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Venue:</strong> M&amp;T Bank Stadium, Baltimore</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Competition:</strong> Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>South African broadcaster:</strong> SuperSport</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>The match should finish shortly before 1:00 AM on Sunday morning, depending on stoppages and halftime. Supporters planning to watch the entire game are therefore in for a properly late Saturday night.</p>
<h2>A series decider in Baltimore</h2>
<p>The Springboks head into the final match with a <strong>2–1 lead in the four-Test series</strong>. South Africa won the third Test 29–24 at the FNB Stadium, giving the Bokke an opportunity to secure the series with another victory in Baltimore.</p>
<p>The All Blacks, meanwhile, need to win to draw the series 2–2. That should make the final Test especially intense, despite it being played at a neutral venue far away from the traditional South African and New Zealand rugby strongholds.</p>
<p>Holding a Springboks versus All Blacks Test in the United States is an unusual move, but it provides a major showcase for international rugby ahead of the 2031 Rugby World Cup in the USA.</p>
<p>Will you be staying awake until 1:00 AM to watch the Bokke, or is the 11:00 PM kickoff simply too late?</p>]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If someone has left you a voice message on your MTN number, you can usually access your voicemail directly from your cellphone.</p>
<h2>What number do you dial for MTN voicemail?</h2>
<p>Dial:</p>
<p><strong>132</strong></p>
<p>Call 132 from your MTN cellphone and follow the voice prompts to listen to your messages or manage your voicemail settings.</p>
<p>MTN also lists <strong>*100#</strong> as the USSD code for accessing its voicemail menu.</p>

<ol>
<li>
<p>Dial <strong>132</strong> from your MTN phone.</p>

</li>
</ol>

<h2>How do I change my MTN voicemail password?</h2>
<p>According to MTN’s voicemail guidance, you can dial <strong>132</strong>, open your personal options and follow the prompts to change your voicemail password.</p>

<ul>
<li>
<p>Confirm that you are calling from the correct MTN SIM.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Check that your phone has an MTN network connection.</p>

<li>
<p>Restart the phone and try calling 132 again.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Dial <strong>*100#</strong> to see whether the voicemail menu is available.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Contact MTN support if your voicemail has not been activated or your PIN no longer works.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Quick answer</h2>
<p>Dial <strong>132</strong> from your MTN cellphone to access your voicemail. You can also dial <strong>*100#</strong> to open the MTN voicemail menu.</p>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have run out of airtime and need someone to phone you, Vodacom allows you to send them a free Please Call Me message.</p>
<h2>What is the Vodacom Please Call Me code?</h2>
<p>Dial:</p>
<p><strong>*140*recipient’s number#</strong></p>
<p>Then press the call button.</p>
<p>For example, if you want someone with the number 082 123 4567 to call you, dial:</p>
<p><strong>*140*0821234567#</strong></p>
<p>The person should receive a message asking them to call you.</p>
<h2>Does it cost anything?</h2>
<p>Vodacom’s Please Call Me service is free. You therefore do not need airtime to send the request.</p>
<p>However, Vodacom may limit the number of Please Call Me messages you can send in a day.</p>
<h2>Can you personalise a Vodacom Please Call Me?</h2>
<p>Dial <strong>*140#</strong> to open the CallMe menu. Depending on the options currently available on your account, you may be able to add or change the name displayed in your Please Call Me messages.</p>
<p>Adding your name can help recipients recognise you if they have not saved your number.</p>
<h2>Why is my Vodacom Please Call Me not working?</h2>
<p>Check the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Make sure you entered the code in the correct format.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Do not leave spaces in the recipient’s cellphone number.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Confirm that the recipient’s number has ten digits.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Check whether you have reached your daily limit.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Restart your phone or reconnect to the Vodacom network and try again.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Newly activated Vodacom SIM cards may also need to be recharged once before they can receive certain calls and messages from other customers.</p>
<h2>Quick answer</h2>
<p>To send a Please Call Me on Vodacom, dial <strong>*140*cellphone number#</strong> and press call.</p>
