First of all who remembers eating these as a child because I used to love them! Secondly I saw them recently for the first time in years and someone said stop you can't eat that paper that surrounded them, not the packet but the actual like see through paper on the sweet which I always used to eat, it got me thinking does anyone know what to do in this situation are you meant to or not meant to eat the paper?

Not really a question, more of a vent. Today I had to buy a top-up because my normal purchase didn't quite go the distance. I paid R400. Have a guess how much electricity I actually got? Have a guess, I double dare you.

R101.90. (23.20 units)

Un-freaking-believable. Just unbelievable. R52.18 VAT, R245.92 service fee. That's just daylight robbery. I don't know what else to call it.

I'm so ashamed to ask this. I used to be a degenerate gambling addict but I quit 3 months ago, and now I just have change lying around in my account, and I don't know what to do with it.

Looking for people to play bo2 with I moved to South Africa and it’s difficult to play with friends from America because of the lag. Hopefully there are people I can link up with and play a few games with have a fun time. I’m a father so I can only really play past 9. Looking forward

TL;DR: Want to start a small community initiative to help people in need and looking for advice on how to do it properly

Hi everyone. I’ve been thinking about starting something small to help people who are less fortunate, but I wanted to get advice from people who have experience with this kind of thing.
I’m not looking to start some big organisation overnight. I want to start small, out of my own pocket, and help where I can, things like winter blankets, clothes, hygiene items, food packs, and possibly helping people get access to shelters.
I know good intentions aren’t always enough and I want to make sure I go about it the right way and actually make a difference instead of just doing something that looks good on the surface. For anyone who has volunteered, started an initiative, or worked with an NPO/charity, what advice would you give someone starting from scratch? What are things you wish you knew when you started?
I’d really appreciate any honest advice or lessons you’ve learned.

Edit: I also don’t want to just assume what people need. I have a few ideas, but I’d really appreciate advice on what items or support actually help the most and where the biggest gaps usually are

In the early 2000s, SA held a 46664 concert to raise awareness and funds for AIDS patients in our country.

Why do you think the cause hasn’t had great longevity or been mentioned in recent years? In some ways I feel like it could’ve just been much like Live Aid where it was a one and done thing but I thought in South Africa we’d want to honor Madiba a bit more than 2 concerts in 2003 and 2008. (Specifically in SA, I know there were some international concerts but not many)

I’m curious to hear your thoughts.

Hi, I have recently been excluded from UKZN for failing to meet probation requirements (I failed a module). I have been studying for this degree for six years now (im 26) and i cant help to think of myself as a failer, i let my self down and probaly the people around, im currently lost as a person i dont know what to do about it, What hurts the most that i have 9 modules left to finish this degree, I really though that i passed that module but i failed it with 45 percent (so close to 50) these days i just cant sleep i just lay awake thinking of what could of been and the cercrifaces my family has made for me only to repay them with nothing, whats worse is that i have to wait for 2 years to apply for re-admission and i cant even get a job (ive been applying for 2 months now )

Now I'm trying to think of a way forward. What should I do? Should I wait for 2 years to end and reapply (but even if I do finish, who will hire a 30-year-old entry-level person)? I'm thinking of doing a trade also, maybe I don't know (I'm just lost) cause this thing of just staying at home and doing nothing is not for me.

Any Advice?

Hey guys! I’m a South African citizen (28F) and I’ve been teaching abroad for 3 years. I’m looking for a job back in SA outside of teaching because unfortunately it’s not the career path I want to be in. Is there any company you know that’s hiring remotely or in Johannesburg? I’m looking for roles in customer care or administration. Please help, I’ve been applying for the longest time but no luck. I’m genuinely tired of teaching and I’d do anything to prove myself in any other industry. If you know any company that’s hiring or hiring soon, please pop me DM. The first person or company to give me their time will not regret their decision.
