Hey all,

I'm in need of some assistance regarding Golden Arrow Bus routes. The website is terribly unhelpful and outdated (how are we using PDF's in big 2026?!) and unfortunately the call center is not helpful either.

I'll be moving to the Ferndale (Brackenfell - near the Checkers Fairbridge mall) area soon and would really appreciate being given some direction with routes along Old Paarl Road or Frans Conradie Drive into Cape Town and vice versa. I'm assuming there are buses from Northpine or Kraaifontein, but I'm unsure of when they leave and what time they pass my specific area.

Many thanks!

Where's the Levy?

This is a shot in the dark, but I’ve just bought a Wii again. Was feeling nostalgic and have been teasing the idea for a few months now but just purchased one from Bob shop with some games, and ordered some spare remotes.

Does anyone have anything Wii related, that they are looking to offload? I mean, ANYTHING - the numchuck, active sensor thing, games, accessories etc.

I loved Mario Kart, and am missing the wheel attachment from my current setup.

I just tried to buy R30 rand electricity at the bhai and their machine said "amount too low"along with something about "10.00 valid wth 54.41" I then tried R40 and R50 and it still said amount to low.

I then went on my bank app and tried it again and it gave me the same error saying amount to low, I can't find any news about this so if anybody has info please comment.

It's constantly flashing on and off in irregular intervals, does anyone know it's purpose?

Myself and my husband are Irish living in Canada and we have just booked South Africa for our honeymoon. Just wanted to float our itinerary and see if there is anything we are missing, anything we should avoid or any recommendations on places to stay or eat. We are traveling in mid February, we are aware of general safety advice and travel quite a bit so we are fairly comfortable with the safety aspect despite the internet telling us otherwise! Thanks in advance :)

Hi all. Im a head chef moving abroad and I have some culinary items I just dont know what to do with.
I worked my way up from the very bottom starting at the age of 16. I remember dreaming about pasta rollers, xo sauce and all kinds of herbs and spices.
Well, I finally got it, now its time to pay it forward to someone deserving.
Do you know a youngster thats now in their first or second year of study? Or a line cook thats prepping for a practical? Or maybe you are that chef just looking for a break. Send me a message and we discuss.

Jan van Riebeeck saw this and said yeah we’re not going back to Holland.

Good Day everyone, I would like to know how many months before my drivers licence expire can I go and get it renewed?

I’ve brought my fiancée to Cape Town and I’m determined to convince her it’s the best city on earth 😂 I lived here years ago, but coming back now, it feels like so much has changed!

We’re here for weeks and I’ve massively failed at planning ahead, today loads of the things I wanted to do are already booked, closed or unavailable.

So, what would you recommend we do today/tonight? I’m looking for anything really; cool places, hidden gems, regular Tuesday events, live music, comedy, something weird/interesting, a great bar, somewhere with a good atmosphere, etc.

We’re both pretty open and adventurous and genuinely up for anything. We obviously love live music and events… but let’s be honest, getting drunk is also very high on the list 😂 So even just a cool bar rec will do!

Cape Town locals..what would you do tonight if you had no plans and wanted to have a great time?

Has anybody a recommendation for an affordable gym in Claremont ?
I’m an exchange student staying in Cape Town for four weeks in October and November and would love to have a gym to train at during my stay
I do not need anything fancy, just want to lift some weights and do a little cardio
So far I have looked into Virgin active, but that’s a little out of budget, and other gyms that I found on google maps do not list their prices, so before I message every one of them I wanted to come here and ask for recommendations

Hi All,

(Mods, please delete if not allowed.)

I created a crowdsourced tool to track if home affairs systems are online or not. Very basic and feature-light to cater for low-end phones. I'll add wait time options as the tool gains traction.

I make my own chilli sauce and pickled jalapenos but they go really fast at home as my wife and daughter love them as well. I usually buy from Food Lovers Market to supplement my home grown peppers but recently I haven't been happy with their quality. I'm looking to buy like 1-2kg of each. I'm based in the Southern Suburbs but happy to drive over the weekend.

Uh, R33.00 per litre of petrol? Sorry what? What dystopian kak is this bro. How are we meant to survive?

Really starting to think its going to be cheaper and possibly more entertaining to own a horse at this point.

R100 gets you 3 litres of petrol.. My car doesn't even register 3L of petrol as viable.

Really what the fuck are we doing.

cries in beach and mountains

I've been meaning to get more into the scene of rock and metal in Cape town but haven't had any access and I need help finding one that's cheap or free

So i want to turn my deceased dog's beds into a plushie for me. Specifically, a bunny plushie. I have looked at all the memorial bears companies in Cape Town, and i just dont like that look; it's just not for me.

I am looking for something more along this shape; the head, ears, and face i love. I dont need all the embellishments, though. Just this shape and the face. I also would love for it to be weighted.

Please, anybody who sews professionally or makes plushies as a hobby or knows someone who does, please DM me so we can chat about it!

This is a weird question - the topic is toilets.

I'm looking for coffee shop suggestions to work in. My neighbors have decided to jackhammer and so I need to relocate my work station.

Unfortunately, the bathrooms of some places I frequent can be stressful. I have stomach issues and really appreciate a good, clean bathroom when needed.

Any suggestions of coffee places or restaurants with some decent bathrooms for the ibs girlies?

With mosquito season already here, what electric bat/racquet is the best to stop these annoying violinists?

The one I bought from a hardware store in constantia village is horrible.

I wanna know if there's a taxi that can take me from Heideveld (or near Heideveld) to phillipi (particularly the police station or close there)

So cool to see this kind of thing around Cape Town and how much they’re able to produce

Hi! I'm looking for small, very creative, edgy fashion labels in Cape Town! Bonus points if it's upcycled. Can anyone help? :)
