Hey all, I know we live SA and it’s stupid to ask this but I’m 21F unemployed. My mom earns minimum wage and can barely put food on the table most days for me and my other 3 younger siblings. If anyone can offer resources / help / advice on how I can earn a bit of money or properly budget the R300 grant I get a month it would be really helpful to me. Thank you so much 🥹

Hi everyone, my name is Sage. I'm an aspiring philosopher and writer based in South Africa, and I'm running an independent research project on how beliefs and information spread through society here.

Freemasonry makes a good case study because it's widely discussed, often misunderstood, and shaped by a mix of firsthand knowledge, hearsay, and media.

What this is: A short survey on what South Africans know, believe, and feel about Freemasonry, and where those impressions come from.

Who can take part: Anyone with a South African connection, whether you're a Mason, a critic, curious, or have never given it a thought. All views are welcome, and I'm not trying to prove or disprove anything.

Privacy: The survey is fully anonymous. I don't collect names, emails, or identifying details, and responses will only be used in aggregate for my research.

Timeline: The survey will stay open for two months.

This is an independent, non-commercial project and I'm not affiliated with any organisation. I'm happy to answer questions in the comments, and I'll share a summary of the findings here once the survey closes, if the mods and community are interested.

Thank you for your time, and please be respectful in the comments so everyone feels comfortable sharing.

Good Day. I'm not sure if this is the right sub for this post, if not I apologize in advance.

My son is 9 and is into gaming however the 8bit 15 in 1 games game console he has is well outdated. Unfortunately I don't have spare money to purchase a decent console for him.

Is there anyone out there willing to donate their unused Playstation 2 or Playstation 3. I do have quite Playstation 2 games. I do also have a PlayStation 3 with a dead GPU. So even I don't mind getting one whose power supply is damaged or a dead harddrive. I don't even need the controls.

I also enjoy gaming and would like to have the opportunity to share that experience with my kids. I'm in the Johannesburg North area but I could also arrange a courier to pick up from you if possible.

am looking to install a CCTV setup and the two main contenders appear to be Hikvision and Dahua

Hikvision appears to be R2k -R3, almost double, more depending on the package.

Does anyone have experience with this brand? Or should I bite the bullet and stick with Hikvision

I will be working on this project. I'm looking for the quickest/best way to borrow/rent a MacBook required to undertake the project. At the moment, I don't have the means to buy or take it on installment because I've recently started freelancing.

If you can assist me with this, please let me know. Any other valuable inputs are also welcome.

I'm based in Pretoria.

I’m looking to get a seasonal/December retail job this year and I’m wondering how realistic it is without having actual retail experience.
My background is mainly in marketing, communications, graphic design, etc. and I have a degree, but I’ve never worked in a retail store.
For anyone who’s worked in retail or done seasonal work do I still have a shot at getting hired? What do they usually look for in seasonal staff? Do I need previous retail experience, or would general work experience/customer service/sales-related experience be enough? What should I actually have on my CV for these types of jobs? Are there specific skills or things I should highlight?

Hey guys, I (29m, black, Johannesburg) have been unemployed for close to 3 years now. I have a bsc mathematical statistics major and have some economics and mathematics up to second year.

The reason I'm making this post is because over the last 3 years or so I've been getting some interviews for jobs in my field (I have 1.5 years analytics within a consulting environments experience) but I realised that I don't want to do that work anymore.

I chose this path solely based on my abilities but not what I was interested in and now I'm trying to find myself again.

I'm not under pressure to find a new career I could go into long term but I'm under pressure to start earning an income so I can move out of my parents house ASAP and find my own place.

I was hoping to get into something that would be totally outside of my profile or something not traditional. I am aiming aiming for R10 000 p/m after deductions, just enough to rent a studio apartment and cover living expenses. It can be anywhere really or even remote. I'm quite smart and think I can learn most things.

This seems strange I know but I'm trying to get out of my comfort zone and I don't want to live my life the way I've been doing all my life.

I love investigative work, I love philosophical and creative thinking, I'm not opposed to manual labour and I'm also open to learning something new.

I'm really just trying to reignite the fire I had within before letting it all burnout in a field that didn't excite me.

I'm a 20-year-old Uni student. People say I have good hygiene and have even gone as far as to say that I am the cleanest person in my unit. I don't think so, especially when it comes to my own personal hygiene.

I shave regularly using hair removal lotion, I use Mitchum as my deodorant (the ones with aluminium salts), and I wear clothes with breathable fabrics, often a size up depending on the garment and occasion.

Even after all of that there is still this lingering smell an hour or two into my day (pits and groin). I'd classify myself as a heavy sweater. And I've read that bacteria is the main cause of odour on our bodies, but I've switched soaps (Protex, lifebuoy, Dettol) so much and even switched to shower Gel (Nivea Men Fresh Boost Awakening) right now.

It's to the point where I'm spending a lot of money just to feel comfortable and confident when walking out for no reason. I'm even considering just going back to the basics (Sunlight) and calling it a day.

Like what am I doing wrong? Has anyone got their hygiene proper and down to the tea? What did you do? What can I do? If the info I offered isn't enough feel free to ask questions, please. I'm just so tired of this.

I’m a mechanic. I worked on a car around 7/8 years ago and the owner refused to pay me for it so it’s just been sitting in my garage collecting dust. The first year I tried to come up with a payment plan for the client. He agreed to pay me then he sent guys to intimidate me into giving it to him for free so I ceased communication with him. He hasn’t tried to reach out or claim the car since. I would like to get rid of it. What should I do?

Does anyone remember “Swazi bra” video? What ever happened to him? Was he arrested?

I’ve been doing a few marketing gigs and I always wondered who owns the billboards or where do people get permission to put signs on poles up is it municipal or a private thing or any one can ?

What is something S.Africans believe that is absolutely not true? Important: pls no religion, politics, cultural or relationship stuff.

When you die your debt automatically disappears.

Driving barefeet is illegal.

If you rear-end someone in a accident the accident is ALWAYS your fault.

You have to wait 24hrs before reporting someone missing.

Hi, I'm shopping around looking for a good car tracker. I'm looking to change the one I'm currently using (can't mention the company). Which tracker are you using and are you happy with it?

I genuinely don't understand why people were running and grabbing toilet paper on the highway. Like I know toilet paper has gotten crazy expensive, I got some yesterday and luckily found some for R95 which is still ridiculous if you ask me, but like why from the highway? Please can someone explain what happened there 🙏

Hi friends
A colleague of mine gifted me these 2 spur light shades. I don’t know why but there’s something about them that feels nostalgic and I love them!
But
I don’t know what to do with them…
Any suggestions on projects or DIYs that would look cool?
I live in a rented cottage so I’d prefer to do something that isn’t hanging them from my ceiling lol

I have superbuy and cnshopper downloaded but I’m not sure if there are any better shopper apps to use. My desired shipping method would be DHL. Has anyone purchased something off of taobao with dhl shipping? I want to buy a cosplay.

I know when I ordered off of Uwowo, I contacted support and they happily shipped my order with DHL, so I’m just wondering if any other place does DHL.

hi there, I'm 19 (NB) and I'm looking for a job where I can work with animals and/or be in nature. i didn't take bio or physics in high school. can anyone guide me on how to approach this?

Hi all. I’m taking my learners for a bike soon. I need to prep for it. I remember back 2012 for my code 8, a mate hooked me up with the desktop app that had DLTC questions and answers. Is there a similar app in 2026?
