More aimed towards the Somerset-Stellenbosch area but even towards Cape Town is fine, looking for areas/tracks and or contacts/groups to get in touch with.

I am moving down to this area and would like to get to know the dirt-biking scene here as soon as possible

Looking at going to do a quiz night at Tigers milk in century city or blouberg so if you want to join dm me. Anyone's welcome.

Has anyone been to this? I see it is on tomorrow in Plumstead, and it sounds like fun. Is there stuff to do if you don't cosplay?

Please, I'm learning Afrikaans and I would like learn to sing some Christian worship songs in Afrikaans if anyone has suggestions? Thank you so much! I'm grateful for your help.

Hey, Cape Town locals! I’m looking to explore some hidden gems in the area, especially places with interesting historical significance or unique natural features. I’ve done most of the major touristy spots, so I’d love to hear about those quieter, lesser-known places that might have an interesting story or a beautiful view.

Any suggestions?

When you come from Noordhoek down to tokai side over the mountain. The road splits into two lanes before the intersection. But one lane has a stop street randomly half way down and the other just keeps going with all these white lines across the road leading up to the stop street. Anybody know the function of this

From a SA point of view, where to avoid, stay safe. I live in the Congo half the year for work, but I do not drive myself for obvious reasons.

Any ideas??

Dankie!

Hello,

I am looking for a company that sells—and delivers nationwide—high quality mobility scooters and wheelchairs.

Do you all have any solid recommendations that I can check out? So far, I have checked out mobilityscooters.co.za but would like to be able to compare it to some other retailers and outlets.

Thanks.

My fiancé and I have traveled down the 60 pax wedding route and decided it's just too damn expensive for 8 hours and months of stress.

We're opting to have a very intimate wedding, with our siblings, parents and grandparents but really struggling to find a venue that can accommodate a minimum of 10 people.

Does anybody have any suggestions or recommendations?

We have a two bedroom flat and while it would be amazing to have our cats present, it's too cramped and unsuitable.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hello, I'll be in Cape Town on my own (F 30) in a few months and I'm struggling to figure out which neighborhood I should stay in (the city is so much bigger than I had originally thought). I'm looking for a low key and cosy neighbourhood, where I can walk around, feel the history and authenticity of the city, without skyscrapers etc... I asked ChatGPT, which told me Woodstock, but after googling a little and looking at past posts on here, I don't get the impression it's the safest spot? Any recommendations are welcome! ☺️

Hi all. I'm looking for someone that can convert a VHS tape to a digital format?

Preferably someone in the Southern, Northern suburbs or the Winelands area!

Hi all! Not looking for judgement.

I am as much a supporter of Adopt-don’t-shop as the next guy, but I am looking specifically for a puppy of a specific breed as a companion for my own dog who is not well socialised with other grown dogs.

I’m not sure how ethical or legit big breeders are, and their online support manner is nothing short of questionable. I would prefer to support people who have bread with their own pets and are selling the pups (if that is legal)

Are people still advertising pups on places like Gumtree or OLX? I know its not allowed on facebook.

I obviously know what to check for in terms of vaccinations, breed records etc.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi r/capetown, I'm looking to have some pairs of work pants taken in at the waist and leg - does anyone have any recommendations for a tailor in the city bowl or "northern" southern suburbs? Alternatively - is this a non-technical job that I could feel comfortable taking to just about anywhere with decent Google reviews? I was overwhelmed by search results when I looked

I find myself in the unfortunate situation of hunting for a new apartment 🥲. Anyone know any good tips or good platforms to go buy? I'm mostly looking in the southern suburbs.

Where can you buy lots of international coins cheaply?

Did anyone hear any sirens from at least 02:00 to 06:00 this morning in Milnerton? It sounded like some sort of ambulance or police car. It was heard by my mother around Royal Ascot. Thanks in advance for any help.

Checked into a hotel in Harrismith, heard the neighor lady refer to me as boney, while I was applying face cream at the window. Heard the neighbor guy say "plus he's a kroes kop" while organizing my hair. I'm mixed race, the neighbor next to them is like yeah he's a pavement special. Absolutely no one has stuck up for me.

I'm planning on visiting Cape Town in January for a short vacation, weather-wise, is this a good time? Please also recommend areas to stay that are affordable (leaning more towards cheap) and relatively safe and close to the beach. Are Airbnb's or lodges better? And what activities are a must try? I'll welcome any and all advice about visiting cape town, thank you!

I'm from joburg btw if that matters.

Good morning people.

Where can I sell booking/reservation. Have booked the first 2 weeks in Dec in Table View close to the Beach, unfortunately dont need it anymore. They place is heavy in demand but not sure what website I can sell it on. Its only a 2 sleeper so not a family room but maybe a couple looking for a last min get away.

What do people do when you go to the beach by yourself and you want to swim but don't have anyone with you to look after your phone and keys etc..I thought about the waterproof pouch thing but I could just as easily lose the whole thing in the water..please give me some ideas 😭 I really enjoy the beach but don't have friends to go with ☹️

Usually when there’s a murder etc you’ll see pics of it clearly online, blood included even the cctv footage seemed sus to me but I’m no forensic expert. Am I the only one thinking that it’s a possible staged death for him to escape his sars charges and his other cases his involved in so now he can retire peacefully without having to watch his back since his dead?

Does anyone know where I can pick up shutterply wood that is smaller than the standard 2.4 x 1.2 meter sizes?

I'm busy with a DIY project and I essentially need half that amount. I don't want to sit with a big offcut.

Unfortunately my stationary car got reversed into, my door is dented in with a bit of paint exchanged. Luckily the frame, window, etc was not damaged.

I need to get a few quotes to see the cost for repair, and I'm assuming the paint will probably be the most pricey. I do have insurance, but due to the low amount of damage the insurer suggested checking for private repairs instead of paying the excess and going that route. If the private quotes turn out to be more, I'll go the insurance route.

Hi everyone,

Has anyone else been struggling with internet connectivity over the past week? We’re with MWEB and have been down for a week - no response from an agent, technician, nor any effort made to assist us. It’s so frustrating. It seems MWEB is pretty bad with their customer service so I would like to consider other network providers.

Which internet providers are the best in terms of price and customer service?

I will be visiting Franschhoek in 2 weeks, visiting only Monday and Tuesday. We are going in a wine tour until 1700. Is it worth it and safe to walk in town afterwards? We’re planning to do dinner somewhere in town, but it seems that there’s nothing else open. Thanks

Bit more context - my heritage is South African but I’ve never been, I’m going with my dad. I’m a 27 y/o Male. Any other general tips as well, things to do or avoid would be appreciated! (I’m big into nature)

I’m gonna buy a shitty guitar when I land and attempt to write a project over the three weeks (I’m bringing decent home recording equipment but am considering a mid level studio for drums)

Musically i make and perform loads of different styles. Mainly neo soul/r&b, jazz, hip hop, uk garage / grime. I’m looking for a spot to either sing some acoustic stuff with guitar, or rap. I’ve run my own open mic in London for 3 years it’s fun, so no stranger to jamming and improvising with other people off the cuff.

Also any South African artists to listen to for inspiration would be great! I’ve dug into SA jazz a bit but not much.

Big love, thanks guys. Excited!!!

I'm South African, not from Cape Town, living abroad.

My girlfriend (foreign) and I visited Cape Town, this year. and I obliged all the tourist type of things: paragliding, seal snorkelling, Robben Island, Table Mountain, etc.

We're planning on going back to Cape Town in January, but would like some suggestions for places and vibes that's not touristy, if that makes sense.

So far we only have the "Kirstenbosch Garden Concerts", and a few of the many wine tastings on our list.

Any suggestions for places, like farmer's markets, rooftop bars or something similar to Mzoli's?

Thanx in advance.
