Dentures

My teeth are in a bad way and I fear that I will need to have them all taken out. Has anyone here had top and bottom dentures done and can give me some insight about the cost. Id like to gauge the cost of removals and the actual dentures and types of dentures recommended.

Valentines Dinner

Hi. I know it’s a bit late to be thinking about and planning this but I’m looking for some restaurant suggestions or private dinner ideas for a romantic Valentines Dinner. Preferably somewhere fairly quiet, not too loud. I’d really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

Activities to do while in Johannesburg

Hello,

I'm in Johannesburg until mid March and would like to know what non tourist activities or events there are to do here. Specifically where can I actually find authentic South African food and music. I was told by several people Soweto has the best South African food but I shouldn't go there alone. Any tips or advice would be appreciated.

As far as music goes I'd really be interested in hearing live music as well.

Thanks in advance!

Long term accomodation East Rand?

Howsit, Kunjani & Cremora.

I drove up from CPT to Springs today to stay here for a week while I work on a project.

Have stayed in Jozi twice before;, a month in Springs & 2 months in Muckleneuk, PTA. However am a classic ignorant Cape townian & not 100% sure what traffic flows are like. Or where is good in terms of gyms, etc. & parks.

TLDR: Looking for somewhere that I could stay for these few months, ideally between Springs, Clayville & Midrand.

Will be most of the time in Clayville. Obviously gonna probably have to deal with traffic but perhaps somewhere would be against the traffic?

Thanks,

Mozambican Visiting Joburg Here and I am Looking for a Budget-Friendly Way to Get from Randburg to Sun City

Hi, people from Joburg.

I’m visiting Johannesburg for the first time, coming from Maputo, and I’m planning a budget-friendly day trip to Sun City. I’ll be staying in the Randburg area and need advice on the cheapest way to get there and back on the same day.

I’ve been looking online, but I’m worried about paying for something only to later find out there was a better, more affordable option (that maybe locals know). I’d love to keep costs as low as possible while still traveling safely.

Any recommendations for budget-friendly transport, whether it’s taxis, buses, or other options, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

UJ is a Joke

I went to collect my student Card at UJ the APK campus. I waited on a long ass queue for 6 hours, then they cut the line at 14:30, mind you they close at 15:00, and they said I must comeback tomorrow. How can one be struggling to get a student card. It’s like everything that’s public is just a shit show in this bloody country.

I came from Varsity College, I never had to stand in a line to get my student card or do my biometrics, it was done through my phone and they would deliver the student card to my house for free. (I never even needed to use my student card because their biometric system was sooo accurate)

Like this nonsense is worse than home affairs, like is it really this bad in public universities??

Looking for recommendation / review of Gold Reef City or Mzansi Happy Island Theme Park.

Hi all,
I am looking for reviews from anyone that has been to either Gold Reef City or Mzansi Happy Island Theme Park within the last 3 months or so.

I am planning a visit for a friend, and want to make sure they get the best experience. I haven't been to the Mzansi Happy Island, and last time I was at Gold Reef city was about 10 years ago, and lots of the rides were unavailable due to maintenance, so I would like an up to date review of the experience at these theme parks.

Thanks in advance.

Anybody else see the INSANE fireworks over the west rand earlier tonight?!?!

So, in Chartwell overlooking the West Rand and the most insane fireworks display happened on the horizon. At first looked like a concert firework display but then quite quickly descended into a little bittle of chaos! In my mind either a pyromaniac on crack or a firework shop going going kaboom! Anyone around that side of the world know wtf is going on & are you peeps ok? 👀🤙🏻

Need wisdom teeth taken out, no medical aid

Hi everyone,

Wondering if I can get some recommendations. I’m in JHB for about 2 weeks and need a place I can have 2 wisdom teeth taken out without taking my arm and leg as well cost-wise. The teeth are the bottom ones and are semi-impacted (can see their crowns but they are still inside the gum).

Does anyone know where I can get these removed? What cost range am I looking at?

Would appreciate recommendations or anecdotes from JHB (incl North and East) and/or PTA.

TIA!

Relocating from Cape Town

Hi Everyone! I recently got a job in Rosebank, which is a bit too expensive to rent in. I'm wondering what are safe areas or apartment complexes near Rosebank that I can rent a reasonably spacious one bedroom apartment. My budget is R8.5k for everything (water, electricity, rent). I'll also have my car in Jozi so traveling isn't a major issue

Douglasdale: what are those pops?

Neighbours,

We're trying to figure out what those pops (around 20h40) were. Is it Chinese NYE celebrations?

Friendly camping sites nearby

Hi. We have 2 teenagers that we want to get outdoors for a change. I'm referring to camping in the bush. Looking for secure places that have wildlife and places to fish. We have never done camping so will be great if there is a place that hires tents etc. Decent ablutions. Don't want to commit yet on spending on gear. Thanks

Witkoppen Clinic vs Wits Dental Hospital: Which is Better for General Dental Care?

Hi everyone, I recently moved to Northriding and I'm in need of dental care, but I’m still searching for a job, so private options are out of the question. I’ve heard of Witkoppen Clinic in Fourways and Wits Dental Hospital but I’m not sure which one would be better.

Has anyone had experience with either of these places? Which one would you recommend for general dental care? Also, do I need a referral from a local clinic to go to Wits Dental Hospital, or can I go directly?

I’d really appreciate any advice or recommendations! Thanks in advance!

In two? Loadshedding zones at once

I'm living on a farm in Devon, and the power has been going out every two hours. Our schedule was supposed to be 05:00 - 07:00, 13:00 - 15:00, 21:00 - 23:00. We have gotten those already, except the 9pm one, but we've also been off at 09:00-11:00 and now 17:00-19:00. It's becoming absolutely impossible to do anything at home because we don't even have enough time to get a meal out for a large family.

Does anyone know who I can contact directly. Because obviously those lazy bastards disconnected the line and the chat bot is completely useless.
