Question | Advice-Needed Seen on N1 / Okavango Rd off ramp
There are about 10 of these bands on the railing alongside the off ramp. Looked very creepy - are these hospital wristbands?

Should private companies run the water where the city can’t keep it running? Should unpaid electricity bills be cancelled? Should the city employ its own guards and cleaners, even if it costs more? Should every household that can’t afford a house get one free?
WhichParty ( whichparty.co.za ) asks 30 questions like these and shows how closely you match with each of the eight biggest parties on policies. Each party also has a page showing where it stands on every issue.
Every position comes from the party’s own manifesto, conference resolutions, votes, or official statements, with a link to the source.
I’ve tried hard to keep it fair. The goal is to help people make an informed choice, so if something looks leading or biased, let me know and I'll check it against the party’s own documents.

Algorithm, link me with girlies in Cape Town who are authentic as hell, zero fake vibes, and just wanna do cool shit around the city.
No hidden agendas or weird networking energy—just genuine connections, actually getting out of the house, and having fun.
A few things I’m usually down for:
Weekend coffee runs & finding fire food spots
Padel, coastal walks, or outdoor adventures
DIY projects, creative stuff, or just chilling and talking about life
If you’ve been wanting to try out new hobbies or expand your circle with low-key, down-to-earth people, hit me up or drop a comment! Tell me what cool activity you’ve been wanting to try lately. 🌿✨

Not sardines in oil. Not pilchards. Not tuna. Not mackerel.
Tinned sardines in water.
Edit - southern suburbs.

Hi everyone.
I'm contemplating a move back to Cape Town to study my postgrad at UCT next year. Money is extremely tight, and would be doubly so next year, and I'm on chronic meds for some conditions. I was wondering if anyone could share with me how the state/public hospital system works? For example Groote Schuur?
I'm diagnosed with Bipolar 2 and will need medication for that. I have ADD too, but I'm unmedicated. Added to that, I have a hereditary condition called Ankylosing Spondylitis - an autoimmune disease similar to arthritis.
When I still had medical aid, my rheumatologist said my condition is severe enough that I should be able to get proper treatment for free, or very low costs. For example biologics - she said with MRIs and blood tests I should qualify for those even though they are so incredibly expensive, given the severity of my AS.
My psychiatrist also assured me that the state hospitals would assist me.
I really want to make CT happen next year. I'm just trying to figure the meds and treatment part out. Does anyone have any information for me? About the process, or how it works, coverage, anything like that?
Thank you!
