Pretty self explain title. Where can I buy soy beans cheap in Pretoria. I’m newly vegan and looking for alternatives to dairy. Ready made soy milk is expensive so I thought I’d try making my own with soy beans thinking they’d be cheaper but they’re very difficult to find as they’re not commonly eaten in sa

Hi 👋

On September I’m planning to amberfield luxury estate in centurion rooihuiskraal north. And I’m just curious about the levies, is there anyone staying in that complex and what are other hidden fees that I should be aware? And what is the important thing I should know or anything I should be aware of?

Hi all, I'm looking for work. I stay in Centurion and I have matric, Degree in Computer Science and IT and a Driver's License. I'm looking for any opportunity which doesn't have to be related to my studies as I don't have experience, so landing a job will be difficult. I can do administrative tasks, Delivering, a waiter etc. Although I also don't have experience in the examples I mentioned, I am a quick study. Please reach out if you can help.

Thank You.

Not sure if it's allowed - there is a Big Bang Theory Quiz Night in Rietfontein Die Sinkhuis Restaurant, so far we are about 3 maybe 4 people who are attending, is there anyone else maybe in the Rietondale/Rietfontein area who will also be going?

I will be starting a monthly game of D&D in the Moot area. Looking for 2 more players to pad out our group. If anyone is interested in joining send me a message.

I’m 24F and I recently moved to Joburg. I met a 40M I had been talking to online, and we had video-called before meeting, so he had already seen me on camera.

Before meeting him, I had sent him a picture of myself wearing a fitted crop top. When I actually went to meet him, I was wearing a black cardigan,polo neck, jeans and heels , so my body was obviously much more covered.

After meeting, he told me he didn’t see us moving forward romantically because the expectations from the photo I sent him versus meeting in person didn’t align for him. He said my “body profile” was different.

I got upset because I felt like he was implying that I had misrepresented myself. He never literally said “you’re fake,” but that's how I interpreted what he was saying.

I responded sarcastically that “then I should have come wearing a crop top,” because I was angry and felt judged. He then said he couldn't believe I thought he was fake and mentioned that I had unmatched him on the dating app.

The thing is, I genuinely didn't care whether he was short or tall. His height wasn't something I was judging him for. I came to meet him because I genuinely wanted to get to know him.

I'm not upset that he wasn't attracted to me. Everyone is entitled to their preferences. What bothered me was feeling like my body was being compared to one particular picture, when clothing, angles and posture can obviously change how someone's body looks.

He's also 40 and presents himself as a man of God, so I expected the situation to be handled with a little more maturity and grace.

I know I was angry when I responded, so maybe I could have handled my reaction better. But was I wrong for feeling offended by his comment, or am I taking it too personally?

I am looking for work I live with my toxic mother who has a male centered mindset and has abused me since I was 13 Im now 25 . I am losing my mind each day I think of killing my self. She poured boiling water on me, pushed me in bed to sleep with her husband (my step dad), accuses me of wanting her husband. She was my first bully and still is my bully. She’s told me to sell myself. She has done all of this to me and I am honestly tired.I have job experience in administration 4 years. And I know Excel and Microsoft 365, CRM, marketing and I’ve worked in sales, I can do invoices and quotes, LinkedIn, accounts receivable. I am still completing my studies so I don’t have a qualification yet . If anyone can help me or has connections to help me I would be grateful. I am so depressed right now I’m at my wits end. I want to die tbh. I am tired this woman hates me so much.

Hi everyone!

I've been wanting to start a book club for a while, partly because I love reading and partly because I'd love to meet more people around my age who do too.

The idea is to create a small community (around 5-10 members) where we can read great books, have interesting conversations, and hopefully make some new friends along the way.

A few details:

📍 Area: Brooklyn (or nearby) 💸 Cost: Free 👥 Ages: Roughly 20-30 ☕ First meeting: Somewhere public (café/bookstore/etc.)

The schedule would most likely be either:

• Wednesdays: 16:30-18:00 (every second week), or

• Fridays: 18:00-20:00 (every second week)

We'll decide as a group which works best.

How it works

📖 We'll read one book each month.

Instead of randomly picking books, anyone who wants to can "pitch" a book they'd love the group to read. Give us your best sales pitch! At the end of the month we'll vote.

To keep things fair, whoever's book was chosen the previous month sits out the next round of pitching. That way everyone gets a chance to introduce the group to something they love.

We'll meet twice a month:

• Mid-month: Chat about how everyone's getting on with the book (no pressure if you're behind!).

• End of the month: Finish discussing the book, vote for the next one, and then start again.

The goal isn't to analyse literature like we're back in English class. It's just good books, good conversations, and good company.

The club is called The Reading Room.

Because I'd like to keep the group fairly small to begin with, I'll probably ask anyone who's interested to fill in a short application. Nothing intense - I just want to build a group of people who are genuinely excited to be there and who'll hopefully stick around.

If this sounds like something you'd enjoy please email thereadingroompta@gmail.com

Hi everyone. I’m reaching out because my husband is currently unemployed and actively looking for work.
He is a Chemical Engineer with an Honours degree from Wits University and has experience working as a Metallurgist, including experience within the mining industry.
If anyone knows of any companies currently hiring Chemical Engineers, Metallurgists, or related roles, or if there is anyone who could possibly connect us with the right people, we would really appreciate it if you could reach out.
Things are honestly very tough for us at the moment, and we are doing everything we can to find him an opportunity. Any lead, referral, contact, or advice would genuinely mean so much to us.
Thank you so much to anyone who takes the time to read this or share it. 🙏

I am 35 (F) and I've never done rock climbing in my entire life. I have no experience so would be a total beginner, but I'd really like to try! I think I need a physcial hobby and rock climbing just looks really cool and coud teach me a lot about failing and trying again. Any recommendations or advice on how to get started? Maybe there are gyms that teach rock climbing to complete beginners?

Like the title says I can’t seem to find a stores selling board games
