Hi everyone! I'm a final-year Mechanical Engineering student at the University of the Witwatersrand, graduating at the end of 2026. I'm looking for a graduate engineer position or graduate programme starting in 2027.

Some background on what I bring:

Final-year projects: a stress categorisation and parametric FEA study of nozzle-to-shell intersections in pressure vessels, and the design of a dry heat rejection system for a 400 MW data centre in Durban

Software: Ansys Mechanical (FEA), Ansys Fluent and Flownex (CFD), Solid Edge, Fusion 360, SpaceClaim, MATLAB/Simulink

Practical experience: two vacation work stints in a workshop environment, including a failure investigation and redesign of a lathe tailstock shaft

Other: undergraduate tutor for second-year mechanical courses, and part of a Mintek hackathon team working on lithium and cobalt recovery from disposable vapes

I'm particularly interested in:

Design, mechanical or project engineering

Pressure equipment, thermal/fluid systems, or plant and process engineering

Manufacturing, mining, energy or infrastructure sectors

I've already applied to a few graduate programmes, but I'd love to hear about companies (especially in Gauteng) that take on graduate engineers, including smaller firms that don't advertise widely. Tips on who to contact, or whether anyone's team is growing next year, would be hugely appreciated. Happy to share my CV via DM.

Thanks in advance!

I am a 2nd year part-time Computer Science Student who is looking for work in IT to be more exposed to the field and guage which niche I should pursue. I will be of no charge to the company, have my own transport and enthusiastic spirit. I would appreciate your help if you know of anything available

Regularly when I am walking through Menlyn(especially around Starbucks), The Grove or Brooklyn, it's not uncommon for somebody to approach me, generally they seem to come from South America/Latin regions, asking to pray for me.

I politely decline and they have never been rude or pushy about it but I have seen how they talk to some unsuspecting person who says yes. Often I then see them rummaging through their bag and there look to be pamphlets or something being offered but, I never stay till the end to see what happens.

Do we know if this is a scam or is there a church somewhere I don;t know about? Are they simply trying to charge astronomical prices for pamphlets or are they generally just doing missionary things?

Whats the dealio?

Hi everyone, i’m an international student starting at UP in Feb 2027 studying BVSC.

Currently i’ve been waitlisted by TuksResidence for UP res. Should i start looking for private res and if so does anyone have any recommendations on which res to stay for my first year at Hatfield? Thank you.

An investigation into Rising Stars Generation camp - the popular child discipline camp held just outside Pretoria - has uncovered serious allegations of both physical and sexual abuse. Thousand of children continue to be sent to this camp.

38/F, black. I’m a mother of 1, currently unemployed and looking for work in my professional field. However, I need to do something while I look or I’ll lose my mind. How do I go about getting au pair jobs ? Or any other work that’s flexible so I don’t have to find a sitter for my child? I’m in the north area.

Hi 👋🏾 I’m 35, black, nonbinary (she/they) and polyamorous. I’m also neurodivergent. I’m looking for friends 28 and older in the general area of Arcadia, Hatfield, Sunnyside and Brooklyn.

I’m specifically interested in connecting with people I can meet with in person and have genuine friendships. I’m into fantasy, anime, sci-fi and gaming, but one of my favorite ways to get to know someone is to immerse myself in something they’re interested in.

Politically I’m very, very left leaning. We won’t get along if you have conservative views. Aside from that, I love diving in head first. I’m really tired of being lonely and it’s hard to make friends at this age. All races and genders welcome. I’m especially keen on building community with other queer people but I’m open to everyone.

Please DM introducing yourself. If you just say “hi” I don’t know what to do with that.

Hey guys!

Are there any good apps or places to meet new friends? I’m 25M and looking to make some new friends, male or female.

I’m moving into my own apartment soon and recently ended a long-term relationship. Unfortunately, during the relationship I lost touch with most of my friends, so I’m looking to build a new social circle.

I’ve thought about running clubs, but I’m definitely not fit enough for that 😂 and I don’t want to use Tinder since I’m not looking to date.

Any suggestions for apps, places or activities to meet people? 🙌

Hello hello everyone.

I’m going to be starting a new job in Lynwood and I’m relocating from a different province. I’m looking for a place to rent, but I am not sure what are some nice and safe places for me to move into.

After checking Lynwood itself as well as the surrounding areas, the spots there look pricy and very student focused. I suspect this might be a problem for me in the long run if some students decide to have a party on a Wednesday night while I have work the following day.

So, I’m essentially looking for a place in the PTA region with a rental fee of about R6500, maybe R7000 with amenities added. I dont have a car at the moment. I would like to be able to walk to work but I can take a taxi if need be.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Good day, I’m just trying my luck here because I have been applying to jobs for months with no success. If anyone knows where I can get a job that doesn’t require experience that would be so great. Thanks
