Looking for Unwanted Pots & Indoor Houseplants 🌿

Hi everyone! I'm looking to expand my indoor plant collection and would love to give new life to any pots or indoor houseplants you no longer need. If you have any plants or pots sitting around that you’re looking to part with, I’d be more than happy to take them off your hands!

I promise to give them a good home and lots of care. Thanks so much in advance! 😊

Is this still in the cards?

I just finished my fourth semester in uni and Im 10000000% sure i failed a module, but i really want to do honours after my third and final year.

Its not a failure rooted in incompetence but moreso emotional turmoil (i went through a really tough breakup that i should have handled better)

Is an honours degree still in the cards or is this a toss situation?

I really love what i do and i usually do well and get distinctions.

Thanks for reading, hope you have a great day!!!

Therapist recommendations

Hi I know I shouldn't be going to reddit for this but I don't feel like I can talk to my parents about this so ya. Its not like they did anything wrong its just I feel like this is a problem I have in the way I think. I'm pretty sure I need to talk to a therapist about self worth problems and just about problems in how I view my own existence in general, sounds stupid i know. But ja I don't really know what to do and if this this past year has taught me anything it's that I'm not okay in any sense of the phrase and I should seek help. Sorry if this upsets people.

Got 2 goo goo doll tickets I want to sell

So we’re from Cape Town, and the goo goo dolls concert sold out super fast here. I’d my wife’s favorite band and her birthday early December so I thought I’d surprise her with tickets for the Pretoria show. Cape Town recently released more tickets and we were able to pick 2 up so don’t need to make the trip to Pretoria anymore and would really like to cover some of the cost of the tickets.

Cape Coloureds vs Northern Cape Coloureds

My DNA consists of KhoiKhoi, Afrikaner and Xhosa blood. The government came 6 years ago and drew blood from my whole family. The agent said that they did not have authorisation to divulge the results to us as it is for the purpose of government. My family descended from Northern Cape from Calvinia and Nieuwoudtville respectively. Please can someone tell ancestry of Cape Coloureds, why is it that they claim nowadays that they have Aboriginal blood when we know that they don't. My belief is that descended from Indonesia and mixed with British etc. Me, myself was born in Calvinia Northern Cape and yet I do not use derogatory names for the people of South Africa.

Anyone know a courier or vendor for mushrooms?

Looking to get on a psychedelic trip this holiday and don't have the ability to grow them, so I'd like a courier. LSD would also be fine if you know someone or a place.

Vinyl Market at Railways

Has anyone been to one of the vinyl markets at Railways Cafe. I see they have them on a monthly basis and I wanted to check it out tomorrow but just noticed it said "bookings essential" in small letters on one of the social media posts. Can I not just show up for the vinyl shopping? What's the vibe?

Inviting Autistic Research Participants

Hi all. I have posted this previously, but I would like to share it again. I am an MA student in Research Psychology at the University of Johannesburg. I am currently conducting research on autistic adults in South Africa, with a focus on their experiences of discrimination, their support systems, and the impact these factors have on their well-being. This study aims to highlight key areas of discrimination and identify gaps in support for the autistic community.

While I have completed the interview component, I am still seeking additional participants for the survey portion. I am inviting you to participate if you are an autistic adult (18 years or older) residing in South Africa.

The survey is confidential, and participation anonymous. If you would like to find out more or participate, please follow this link: https://forms.gle/NZXJi2pHioBYzJHa8

This study has received ethical clearance from the Faculty of Humanities Research Ethics Committee at UJ (REC-01-667-2024).

You are welcome to contact me if you have any questions or concerns: 220016269@student.uj.ac.za

Thank you in advance for your time and contribution if you choose to participate.

Any Black Friday Biltong specials?

Anybody got a Black Friday Biltong special?

Sad to say that there is a distinct lack of butchery/meat related Black Friday specials this year. Anybody have a local butcher running a biltong special? (No food lovers doesn’t count)

Moroccan flatbread

A few months ago I had a Moroccan flatbread at a food stall at the Hazel food market. Unfortunately, the stand no longer seems to be there. Does anyone know where to find it? It was too delicious and I need it again…

Looking for Christmas accommodation

Hello all

I am looking for accommodation to invite all the family members to for christmas. Most live in Pretoria and I don't think they would mind a hour or two drive away. We would be around 13 adults and 5 children.

If anyone knows about some places we could possibly go for christmas please let me know!

I am currently looking at places near Dinokeng but it is difficult to find a one with a private common area that can take +- 18 people to celebrate together.

Looking for a pre-loved Macbook

Hi all.

I hope you are all keeping well and enjoying the bit of rain we've been getting.

I'm looking to buy my girlfriend a MacBook.

I wouldn't mind buying it new at the current price R13999, but I'd thought I reach out to possibly get something better 2nd hand.

I work on a Macbook Pro M1 2021 at my company and it works great. I was wondering if anyone here works at a company that possibly has a few extras in their store room (that they would usually give to newly joined employees) that they wouldn't mind selling to a fellow Vaalie at a discounted price.

I mean I really wouldn't mind paying the same price for a well looked after Pro model than a brand new Air model.

I plan on asking at my own company, but I thought there's no harm in asking here as well.

Thanks in advance guys. Have a good one!
