I'll be flying to CPT, but I want to return to PTA on a bus. But I've never taken a long distance bus before. Which bus is better between Intercity Sleepliner & Greyhound Dreamliner? Better in terms of 1) Punctuality 2) Service 3) Comfort 4) Cleanliness

I was standing in a mall food court area one random afternoon. A guy approached me. Looked a little shy but in the moment brave enough to approach. He asked if I needed data, And I said no, then he walked away. I have never been asked that by stranger at the mall so I wanted to understand if this is a new scam these days to get someone’s personal information, or does he genuinely walk around selling data or was he finding a way to ask me out without being obvious.
For context I’m male, with stern antisocial look, not visibly queer but my body language and posture, mannerisms may give it away.

Good day,

I need some advice about job searching cause maybe I’m the problem. I have been unemployed for almost two years, been applying almost everyday and still cannot find a job. I have a BCom degree (Information Management), and some work experience. Not sure if my CV is the problem or they just not hiring.

1. Where is the best platform to search for jobs cause at this point I don’t know.
2. Any CV tips would be appreciated.

Thank You

Looking to get some custom bookshelves made. Struggling to find taller bookshelves (above 1.9m/2m) - so getting custom made might be the way to go. Not specifically looking for super expensive hardwood but not looking for pine either.

Any suggestions?

I have two autoimmune diseases and my hands get so cold in winter that I can barely function. Full finger gloves restrict my ability to work and I have tried fingerless gloves which don’t really help, and the only thing I can do is to run my hands under hot water which helps for a while.
Does anyone have a solution or product that they can suggest which will allow freedom of movement for my fingers so I can work with it on?

Howzit everyone. A family member (18yo) wants to start an online business (image and print editing for photographers/ companies/imagebanks/publication houses etc ). What are the best online platforms for advertising services? He will visit local companies (Strand/Gordons Bay) to drop off flyers and introduce himself but he would also like to expand nationwide or at least get his name out there. Gumtree seems like a good place but is that it? Also what happened to the community boards where you could pin your little ad onto a board for all to see?

Thanks all, have a lekker day!

Hi Guys,

For those of you who are running businesses in the financial services industry and have to deal with all this paperwork and expenses when you hit QSE level, is it worth spending all this money on supporting the BEE industry, or can you safely say that you are not compliant and leave it at that?

I don't fully understand the implications of this tax.

Let's talk about debt and gambling what effects it has on some households.do u think it's fair to pay for your partner misdeeds?

Hey guys,

Looking for something fun to do with my wife on a weekly basis. I also think being able to communicate with Chinese business partners will be a great way to expand my career.

Anyone have any institutions they would recommend?

Id prefer in person lessons Vs online, but online can work too.

I've been thinking about Ubuntu in general and how the world has become so cold and mean. SO MANY people are just mean, angry and bitter.

They don't want to help the less fortunate. It must be nice to be so privileged that money isn't a problem. Some of you on here have never been to the township to see how people live there. You're so far up your behinds your life revolves around your little problems.

See its easy for you guys to say you must work hard when you've had generational wealth to back you up and sponsor your dreams. Ordinary black men have to work soooo hard to provide for their families when young boys who just graduated high school get jobs through their families connections. The world isn't fair yes, but people who are privileged can play a huge part in bringing justice by GIVING.

If you can spend R2000 a week on groceries you are privileged, so it really wouldn't hurt you to help a beggar at the robot with R5 it's literally not even 1% of your earnings. I saw a post of someone complaining about beggars everywhere. Do you guys really think people want to live that way? Money needs to become a human right! How do you complain about someone who is homeless asking you for money to buy food? Some of you will argue that they're gonna buy drugs well, so what?! If you were homeless don't you think getting high would be a great way to escape sleeping in the cold outside?

Don't confuse my post for entitlement but rather a call to help those in need. If someone needs a business investment and you can afford to, what do you have to lose if you help?

You people have become so comfortable with not helping those in need. Religious or not, help people when you CAN, don't be so quick to make excuses not to. You are privileged enough to go on vacations and not worry about money problems then you're privileged enough to donate just 10% of your earnings to those in need. It's not gonna kill you, sure its your money you worked hard for it but trust me if everyone had the same privilege then we wouldn't have people living in utter poverty and I'm not including the lazy fucks with folded hands who want everything handed to them.

Whats going on in the world, why won't you people help when you can?

Go to school's int he township try to get school kids new uniform and shoes if you can. There are so many ways to help man its kak that the world is in this state. Honestly if the more privileged helped where they can things like petty crimes would be reduced. But yeah I'm just gonna be labelled as a bitter lazy person who wants to benefit from the hard work of others.

Help where you can man, you can die tomorrow and your wealth will be squandered by privileged little brats people who won't give a shit on how hard you worked for it. You can't take it with you where you're going, so why not give when you can?

EDIT: Downvote all you want, The truth will always be the truth.

Hey guys,

I renewed my licence last year this time, got a temp licence and alles, and patiently waited for the printing machine to be fixed. Naively, I was watching out for the little SMS that tells you your card is ready. Unsurprisingly, it never arrived.

From what I understand, they destroy uncollected cards after 120 days. Given the timeframe, I am fairly certain that my card has met this fate.

I am going to the Sandton Gautrain DLTC to reapply, fully accepting that I will need to get another temporary licence. On Natis, they kindly advise that the previously applied for card has been issued. How much hassle am I in for?

UPDATE: Thanks for the advice everyone. Sadly, my licence has been sent back and destroyed and I will need to repeat the entire process. The ladies were kind and helpful, however. Learn from my mistakes, kids.

So this is driving me nuts. I am blessed enough to own 2 motor vehicles, and then, since I am a collector, I also own 5 motorcycles, and working on a 6th. This means that what feels like every other month I have to deal with licence disc renewals. The thought occurred to me just now; Would it be possible that I just take all the vehicles’ papers into the municipality and ask that they all get renewed at the same time, even if many of them still have months left before they expire? If I can get them to expire all at the same time, then things would be so much simpler once a year. Has anyone done this type of thing before?

Hi all,

Hope everyone is keeping warm.

I am trying to find a public notary service/ anyone that can legally notarise a document I need to send to the UK to access a dormant account. The document says that the person who is notarising the document must be locatable on the world wide Web.

Any inputs would be appreciated.

Have a lovely day.
