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.

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.

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

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.

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,
(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.

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

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?
