Have any companies introduced things like:
Just curious to see whether companies are actually adapting to the increase in commuting costs, and how widespread it is.
Does anyone actually enjoy their job and feel their work environment is healthy? Maybe it's because I'm in marketing, but I've only worked in 1 "non-toxic" environment. Is it a millennial thing, or am I just too sensitive? (If you do enjoy your job, what industry are you in?)
Help me find an open minded Imam
Hello everyone.
I am a 26 year old muslim guy in a committed long-term relationship with a white non-muslim girl. We are both financially stable, she lives alone and I still live with my parents. I have brought the topic up about marriage to my parents numerous times so that myself and my partner can fully live our lives together without having the stress of my parents constantly on my back. It has been met with quite a bit of backlash from them and they are constantly delaying/pushing back when I can get it done and it has led to plenty of frustration from us both.
I am trying to find a respectful, open minded Imam (who has experience in interfaith/interracial relationships) in Cape Town/Southern suburbs, who could perhaps talk to us and help us navigate this situation as well as talk with my parents. My parents don't really want to go through with it because they fear family judgment and all that nonsense. All we really want to do is a small nikkah so that we can be halal and go about our lives. I am happy for my parents to tell the rest of my family when they are ready, and even have a whole other nikkah for the family later down the line, however I find it a bit unfair that they won't compromise and make life easier for me.
If anybody has been in a similar situation please reach out, along with any information on the imam you used/spoke to for guidance and to perform the nikkah. Thank you.
I recently noticed that my younger siblings, who are only 16, still refer to streets in Durban CBD by their old names — West Street, Field Street, Smith Street, etc.
These streets were renamed around 2007–2008, before they were even born.
I would’ve thought their generation would be the first to naturally use the new names, since they grew up with them.
But somehow, the old names are still being passed down.
Does anyone actually use the new street names in everyday conversation? And if even the younger generation isn’t using them, will the old names ever disappear?
I have a quick question for my fellow black africans.
When I grew up I'd see my parents have friends come support them when there's a death in the family, from the funeral preparations to the actual day of the funeral. I must mention my mom was part of a "stokvel", but even so, her colleagues and friends from back in the day were told about the death in the family and they would show up for my mom.
I can imagine with how our generation is filled with loners and friendships pretty much die after varsity/high school, that sense of community of support is slowly becoming a thing of the past. There's been a few deaths in my family for the past two years... I'm in my late 20s and I won't lie it makes me wish I had something like that, sometimes its nice to have more than just my partner be there to attend the funeral with me.
Curious to know if there are other ladies, maybe even gents too, who find themselves in the same boat and how are you finding it? Have you accepted you don't have a community that supports you in times like those? Do you wish a you belonged to a tight-knit community that actually showed up like how the older generation does it when their friend/neighbor loses a family member?
Just started a new job and I am furnishing my apartment... any OneDayOnly.co.za shopping hacks? What's your best purchase from them?
Howzit folks, I’m a longtime fan of the SA cricket team (though I’m not from SA), and in December I’ll be making a trip to SA, which has been a dream of mine since childhood! I’m going to be in Durban and Cape Town, and I’d really love to pick up an official Proteas (SA Cricket) jersey as a souvenir (either ODI or T20 version would be OK). What is a good place to buy a legit one in either of these cities? And is it possible to have it customised with a specific name and number on the back? Any guidance is much appreciated!
Hi. I need to put some kind of breathable material over a vertical concertina type Trellidoor to keep a cat contained inside. Otherwise we won't be able to have our front door open and it's going to be incredibly hot inside over summer. We want to preserve the security functionality of the door too.
Have you done this before? Any tips or advice?
Thank you 😊
I'd like to register for my senior certificate (28F), thing is I don't have my report cards. I completed my grade 9 and 10. I got a formal letter from my vice-principal in 2023 stating that I have completed my grade 9/10 but the records from their backup system has been destroyed and cannot be recovered.
Would the letter be enough for me to register for my senior certificate?
Hi, I had a nikaah (muslim marriage at the mosque). I want to register the marriage at home affairs out of community of property without accrual. Is this possible or do I need a private lawyer or notary to do an Anti nup? Or does Department of Home Affairs provide this?
Thank you!
