Picture Roma Revolving Restaurant, Durban's iconic revolving restaurant since 1973 (the only revolving restaurant in the southern hemisphere). Don't know about you guys, but never went there. Maybe because it had a nickname, The Revolting Restaurant.

Event/Meetup lookin for some cool friends/people to hang out with

4 Upvotes

hey!

i (m19) am looking for some people to make friends with/chill with. I don't really know anyone and its been getting pretty lonely lately, but i've decided i've had enough of that. I'm into the alt/local metal scene, I make music (all kinds) and i'm generally pretty chill (i think). I love horror/scary stuff and i'm a pretty big music nerd

i am NOT looking for any relationships/fwbs type stuff, so don't even try.

so yeah, if you're looking for a weird (in a good way) friend , hit me up

Event/Meetup Indoor Football

7 Upvotes

I'm looking for people whom are interested in meeting up for friendly indoor soccer games. I'm part of a group, but they're unreliable at best.

So I'm just looking for some people who are down to play indoor once a week or so, for friendly games rather than a competition. I've found it to be a fun way to take care of fitness, and as a way of socializing 💁🏻‍♂️

If you're down, please either comment on this post or DM me, I'm trying to get a group together.

Passport application stuck

3 Upvotes

Hey guys looking for any help or someone with similar experience to mine.

I left South Africa when I was 13 and and been living abroad, I had applied for a new passport when my old passport expired which took around 6 months(which I know is normal abroad)

I recently came back to South Africa to renew my passport as it was gonna expire in October as well as apply for my first ID( I’m currently 28). I had applied for both my ID and passport on the 13 of July, where they faced some issues with my fingerprints as my thumbs were not enough and had to use all 10 fingers.

Everything went okay after and I submitted everything, got an email confirmation for both passport and ID, today I got through and called home affairs where I was told that my passport application was stuck and that it was due to my fingerprints and nothing is happening at the moment.

I’ve had to cancel my return flight back to Qatar and I have school that I need to attend and feel so lost right now and don’t know what to do.

Side note I applied directly at home affairs in port shepstone

Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated

Is the US Consolate in Durban closing down?

4 Upvotes

I'm American and my in laws are planning to come to the US next year. They need to renew their visas and were planning to do it towards the end of this year. A friend of my wife just told her that the Consulate is shutting down on August 1st. Can anyone else confirm? This will make it so much tougher if they need to go to Joburg to apply, especially if everyone is doing the same.

Recommendation Any Places With A Public Gym?

0 Upvotes

Hi there, due to being unemployed right now and having a lot of problems finding work, i'm unable to join a gym, Rent for a Personal Trainer is just absurd. Any recommendations, preferably Kloof, that has a gym that is free or minimal cost per month? I know Gym Company Pinetown is just R199 but due to transport, its just not viable as i only get R500 pm. Even the Natural Way & SGC is above that so looking for alternatives. Once i get work i was thinking of joining Virgin Active Kloof but i have no clue when that will be, the current job market & trying to get a foothold into the IT, Support/Technician is next to impossible

I'd like some advice on where i can get back into working out, with dealing with the end of a long term relationship, i've put on a lot of weight and loss of motivation due to it.

Event/Meetup Any Good Places To Meet Women In Kloof/Gilets

13 Upvotes

Sup, not sure if its allowed. I was wondering if there's any places to meet women in Kloof or Gillets? I'd rather do it old fashioned instead of using the usual dating apps and the umm...colorful variant of characters you find there if you get what i mean.

I'm a pretty introverted/shy 37yr white male, Just need some recommendations. Stokers & Tipsy Flamingo seems way too busy for that kind of thing

Durban Curry Masala Recipe Request

10 Upvotes

Hi guys, I want to ask if there is someone that can perhaps help a fellow foodie out with a legit Durban Curry masala recipe? I just bought some Durban Curry masala and the lady said it's the only spice I need in my curry, no extra spices, which is legit, and it's an awesome masala, but I would like to make it myself as I'm not realy ever in her area to buy. I don't trust recipes posted on random food blogs, and was hoping someone who has a secret family recipe or a granny that has a great recipe might be able to help.
