To those taking "New Year, New Me" seriously

Imagine this:

A potential customer looking to buy a product or service your business offers, stumbles across your business’ page on social media.

There are enough product photos and reviews for them to consider buying from you, but only one thing stands in their way.

Information!

The lack of clarity surrounding your shipping times, benefits, features, and even costs of your products/services can turn a hot lead (an interested buyer) into a bystander who never looks at your business’ page ever again.

Even worse than that, is having all the necessary photos and information available but presented in an unprofessional way.

If you don’t want your business to suffer the same fate, then you’re in luck.

So my MacBook Air 13” screen has a small crack in it and the whole display is black. Are there any affordable repair shops that could replace/repair the screen in and around pmb?

Restaurants

Could someone please recommend somewhere VERY nice/special to eat lunch in Pietermaritzburg (or close surrounds)?

We would like to take a couple of young adult family members out for a treat after a traumatic year, so we would really like for it to be somewhere special.

We are coming from overseas, and are completely unfamiliar with the restaurant scene in PMB.

Thanks! 🌸

South Africans’ perceptions of social groups in our country

Hi everyone. Thank you so much for taking the time to stop and view this post. As I have mentioned I am conducting research for the completion of my PhD in Psychology at Stellenbosch University. I am exploring South Africans’ perceptions of the different social groups in our country. This study has been approved by the Research Ethics Committee: Social, Behavioural and Education Research at Stellenbosch University (Project ID#: 27737). If you are a South African who is over 18 years old, please consider completing this survey by following the link: 

https://redcap.sun.ac.za/surveys/?s=XMP47W9YD3N9L9EN

I would also greatly appreciate it if you would share this post, that way it can reach as many people as possible. 

Thanks again!

Looking for recommendations

Hey everyone, need some advice. I graduated and I want to have a party for my nearest and dearest. My brothers grad party last year was held at Fern hill Hotel in Hilton and it was awesome. However, mine is going to be bigger than his and I don't think I can afford their prices for my guest list.

Would anyone be able to recommend affordable event venues for a chill graduation party that (preferably but not strictly) provides catering and is pretty to take pictures in? Thank you so much🙏🏾

What’s Hayfields like?

Hi friends, my partner & I are moving to PMB in January and we’ve found some really nice-looking places for rent in Hayfields. We’re unfamiliar with the area (and most of PMB in general to be honest) so were wondering if any of you would be able to share what the area is like in terms of safety & general “nice-ness”? :)

Ladies between the ages of 18 and 25- let your voices be heard!

Hello lovely ladies!

I’m currently completing my Masters in Counseling Psychology and doing research for my Master thesis focusing mainly on Black and White female women between the ages of 18 and 25.

Most research has been done on Western countries with a lack of racial diversity and I hope by partaking in this research, we can take one step forward in creating culturally competent approaches when supporting women dealing with body dissatisfaction or body image challenges.

This questionnaire will take you about 15 minutes to complete and focuses on your social media usage, body image and eating behaviours.

Please click on this link or scan the QR code (with extra information on the study) below: https://webster.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_dasLyfVhqHoDRzM

Your support is very much appreciated. And thank you for contributing to better mental health outcomes in SA!

Urgent ..Life or Death situation ‼️PLEASE SHARE

Seeking the people who dropped a brown tan puppy off at the SPCA PIETERMARITZBURG on Sunday afternoon 14 July 2024. THE DOG HAD RABIES! Their lives are in imminent danger and they could die of rabies in the next few weeks. They require immediate treatment... please help us find these people... they need to go to the nearest government hospital for free treatment. The virus enters the body through a bite or contact with saliva from an infected animal.. The puppy was extremely aggressive and probably bit people prior to surrender.... once the virus seats itself in a nerve death is 100%... successful treatment depends on time and they have hours before it is too late.

Which suburbs are best to rent in

I studied at UKZN Pietermaritzburg from around 2006-2012 and used to stay in Scottsville.I have been in and out quickly over the years and the town has changed a lot from how I remember it?

I may have a potential job offer and would like to know which suburbs you guys would recommend with regards to a nice place to live, safety, flats or granny flats available etc and how far it is from local amenities? The office is close to victorias country club.

Thanks so much

Minibus to Mokhotlong (Lesotho)

I heard that there is a minibus that operates daily from Pietermaritzburg to Mokhotlong in Lesotho, presumably leaving from the Market Square taxi rank. Does anyone know if it still exists, and about what time it departs if so? Thanks!

How safe is PMB?

Hey guys, I moved out of South Africa just over a decade ago. I’m coming back to visit family for the next month or so. While I understand the safety concerns, I'd love your insights on the current day-to-day and any tips for enjoying a beer with family/friends or just doing everyday things. I'm a little naive to the challenges, and I'm keen on maintaining a basic level of personal safety. Any thoughts or advice? Cheers!

Looking for a book available at a public library in Pietermaritzburg

Hello! I made this account only expecting to ask this question to the University of Cape Town subreddit (hence my username), but it's also applicable here and I figure I'll shoot as many shots as I can.

I'm in the U.S., and there's a book available at Msunduzi Municipal Library (and 4 other libraries in South Africa that I would really like access to. Here's the page I found listing its availability:

https://www.worldcat.org/title/637293131

If anybody would be willing to help me get any info on this book, I would be incredibly thankful!
