Hiya Graem
Sorry I didn´t respond earlier, I was a bit tied up  with getting my new bike 
registered :)
Anyway, just for the record, I have had no problems accessing either http or 
svn based subversion sites from sentech, so I presume either your own ISP or 
telkom did something amazingly stupid on their transparent proxy. 
Of course we do not live in the kind of free market system where if a company 
buggers up like that they better appologise and fix it before they lose a 
customer, we live in a ¨internet-consumer¨ system with a single government 
sanctioned monopoly provider who doesn´t care two hoots about their customers 
OR their staff (what kind of a company records multiple-bilions in profit and 
then fires 7000 employees in the same month ? A very unethical one).

Oh well, moaning about it won´t fix it, I just wanted to let you know that 
sentech is coming through clean.

Ciao
