Hi everyone 🩵 does anyone know where I can get a permanent bracelet done in Pretoria ?
I'm a South African looking to connect with West Africans who can help me Master West African Cuisine. I visited a friend in Ghana 🇬🇭 a few years ago and learnt about your use of herbs and foods like Shito, okra, dried fish, stews using Egusi,tomato stews, soups, etc. I want to learn more, I'm in Centurion if anyone can assist me.

Hey there
I’m looking for a good swimming school for my 5 year old.
We were with a swimming school for more than 2 years and it seemed like the instructor there was just dragging it out. Kiddo can hardly float after 2 years, let alone swim. Her friends who haven’t had lessons swim better than she does at this stage. 🙃
Any suggestions on schools that actually show progress in their students.
Hi. I'm trying to sell my Dell G15 Gaming laptop, specs are: CPU: Ryzen 5600H RAM: 16GB GPU: RTX 3050 4GB SSD: 256GB +2TB NVME
Price: R12k any takers?
So the title pretty much explains what I'm trying to say here. I'm in my last year and will be graduating soon. I've applied to some jobs but haven't heard anything back. Does anyone have any advice ?
Edit: I've since decided to start my own SME. I have what I think is a good business model/idea (which I'd rather not share), and I should have enough capital to get it started. However, with me being a recent graduate and not having much experience in the workplace, I am understandably nervous. Here are some pros and cons
Pro: I know a lot about the field that my business will be in I'll start smallish so I won't be biting off a lot more than I can chew I'm fortunate enough to have a good support system and a trust fund I can use for capital I learned a lot through my studies I'm only 20 years old, so I think this is the best time to take such a risk
Con: I'm afraid of failing I'm scared of disappointing my family and myself I don't have a lot of personal experience even though there are a few successful entrepreneurs in my family
In hindsight, I've got a lot more pros than cons, and I'm really excited to get started on this adventure. However, I would like to consider all viewpoints, so feel free to comment on your honest opinions.
what y'all opinion on A Reece ? or any other rappers I'm keen to hear what kinda music y'all listen to..

I need one module to get my undegraduate degree at the university of pretoria. What is my options
Hi guys, my partner is doing a higher certificate to start his sport coaching training, for one of his modules, he needs 70 hours of practical work as a coach, almost like job shadowing, he has been trying and asking around and going places the entire year trying to find a position. But he’s continuously been turned down. He doesn’t even need to get paid. This is starting to take a serious toll on his mental health too. He really needs to pass this. If anybody can help at all please reply. Can do any sport but really experienced in rugby, swimming, waterpolo and rowing. Pta east.
Thank you
I’m looking to move slightly closer to work (near Roodeplaat dam). I currently stay in Hazelwood and absolutely love it but petrol is just too expensive to drive that far everyday. I’ve been looking further north, in the moot area, but I’m unsure of how great of an area it is to live in. Any thoughts? Is it a nice area to live in? Struggling to find anything decent under R7k which is very frustrating, considering it will almost definitely be a downgrade from my current living situation. Also, if anyone knows of any good places to stay there; please do send them. Thanks!
I'm (21F) now, and I lost my dad when I was really young. Back then, I had no idea what his absence would actually mean for me growing up. I just thought he wasn't there, and as a kid, it didn't really sink in how much that would affect my life later on. But as I got older, I started to feel... lost. I guess that’s where my anxiety started. It was always this silent, nagging thing, like a wound that never really healed.
Fast forward to a few years ago, and things just kinda hit harder. It felt like I couldn’t even talk about him because, to me, it felt like I was "too young" to remember anything clearly. I felt guilty bringing him up, as if I didn’t have the “right” to be sad. I avoided the topic altogether, and I hated the idea of people seeing me break down or showing that raw part of me.
Anyway, we have this box at home with all these important documents like birth certificates, car papers, insurance stuff , you name it. Last week, I was digging through it to find the car license, and that’s when I stumbled on some old police reports. And then, there it was... my dad’s autopsy report.
I know I shouldn’t have read it, but it was like I couldn’t help myself. It was brutal. Every single injury, every broken bone... in black and white, just laid out there. I feel like I’ll never unsee it. I can’t sleep. It’s all I think about. The details are haunting me, and I can’t shake this heavy, awful feeling. It’s just... so much.
How do I deal with this? I feel like I'm breaking.

Hi, I'm hoping someone can give me some advice.
My ex-wife was in an accident yesterday in a vehicle that is still registered in my name and that I'm still paying the insurance on. The vehicle is not yet paid off..
As far as I know, the other driver drove through a red light and hit the rear right side of her car.
There's a complication in that my ex-wife was not driving, a friend of hers was, but he does not have a license.
She went to the police station today to report the accident and open a case for insurance purposes, and the policeman she spoke to refused to help her, saying that he couldn't open the case because the person driving had no license.
Is this true? It doesn't make any sense to me. I assume that you should be able to report the accident whether or not the person driving had a license or not. Am I mistaken?
Hi everybody !
I am need of some assistance. I don't live in SA. However there is a very important document here in Pretoria that needs to be collected and shipped to me in my home country (France).
I've tried Fedex but for that to work the document needs to be put into an enveloppe and some shipping labels have to be printed and the service that holds the document at the moment refuses to do so.
Do you know if there is some courier service that could collect the document, pack it correctly and then drop it at the Fedex office ?
Thank you for your help !
Hi where can I get an affordable venue to host a baby shower for a friend.
HI Folks
Hope y'all are well
Do you happen to know of a basket ball accessible to the public?
I stay in the East and I have been looking for one that I can easily drive to.
Close by, there is AISJ, an American School but that school checks for bombs when parents drop their kids in the morning so you can guess it's definitely not accessible to the public
Any assistance would be appreciated
Thanks
