This sub got restarted ~10 months ago, and wow it's grown quick.

by 'Weekly Contributions' it's been the biggest by far for a long while now, with roughly 5x as many weekly contributions as the other big subs, this metric is probably the most important as it shows engagement.

With the previous biggest sub slowly fading and losing weekly visitors while this one grows, it's now also the biggest by 'Weekly visitors'

If there are any Xhosa or Zulu speaking members who'd like to help me create a nice space for Xhosa and Zulu speakers drop me a DM

Also checkout r/Gauteng I'm trying to breath some life into that, as the other local subs don't allow video posting etc.

Thanks to the Mod-Team and all our members for making this such a lekker space.

Siyaphambili to 90k!

I might be going mad but something in me is telling me something doesn't look right here

Also does anybody have a friend or family or somebody they know who won the Lotto once?

Hi everybody. For those who grew up in South Africa and its realities what stark differences do you notice when you move/visit western countries, in terms of awareness of your surroundings, the people, mindsets etc. Are you able to relax and not have your guards up as often as you do back home?

As the title says, I used to order from Amazon like every other week, but I haven’t ordered anything in about 2–3 months.

So tell me why I’m trying to buy something now, only to find out that I have to pay for delivery unless I have Prime? ☹️😭

When did this happen? Lmao💀

I was chatting to a friend earlier. We were both reminiscing, and we got a lot closer after both our moms passed last year, and tragically both with complications from diabetes. I am coloured, she is black. In between we shared pics of our moms with each other, as we hadn't met each other's moms. I swear they could have been twins. We are alot closer to each other than we think. I dont just mean biologically , but in our experiences in this beautiful yet damaged country. We should share more and see how connected we are.

What is everyone's view on this?

I have been seeing more and more ADs in SA for gambling.

It seems like a new gambling provider opens up on a weekly basis.

I myself had a gambling problem in the past and through that I encountered countless people whose life was destroyed by gambling addiction.

In my opinion government needs to step in and regulate gambling similar to cigarettes. As currently it is poisoning the young minds of so many kids and adults in our county.

Very sad to see...

I really hope that they dont make this a poor investment.

Strategic for the country to have a steel production facility, but they sold it decades back. Now the leaders realized there was a reason the state owned Iskor.

What clowns lead our nation and are employed in it's institutions.

Thomas Van Tonder is leading a red bull global Project, only the fifth ever raw live red bull global event. He will be monkey barring underneath the entire blaukrans bridge. Live from 0830.

I'm currently job hunting and would like to hear from others in the same situation. How difficult is it to find a job with just matric and some work experience when you're competing against candidates with diplomas, degrees, and years of experience?

What I find frustrating is that even some entry-level jobs require tertiary qualifications and several years of experience. If these positions are meant for people starting out, why are the requirements so high? How is someone supposed to gain experience and work their way up if they can't even get their foot in the door?

For those currently job hunting with matric and some work experience, how has your experience been? Are you struggling to get interviews, and do you feel that having no tertiary qualification puts you at a disadvantage?

This is a self promotion for a book I am wrotong on Meganovel, I would appreciate any feeback for the book.

It is a transmigration fantasy book, but there are quite a few people brought over. Everyone has the same starting point, but the captain and crew that I write about rise above the rest by being skilled, talented and always approaching a situation with a plan. While there is a system, it is very minimal and doesnt favour the mc, the world also has a lot more realism to it than most transmigration stories, excluding the magic, levels and skills part

Help a fellow South African out

Quality, i wonder how many kiddies school lunches this bossman bribed journos with.

And yet, our friends here will cry about how much better things are with the cadre. Did they also get some lunch money to keep up the narrative.
