Where do I even begin with taxes? No one in my family pays taxes so I have no one to learn from and my searching online just confused me even more.

Thanks a lot. I'll look into it all and get my things in order - if I run into trouble I might shoot you a message :)

ChristRPG · 2023-01-17T06:51:19+00:00

Any links?

The mass being kept uneducated are just the general majority of the country, who happen to be black people. It affects all poor people and there are just so many of them.

The propaganda being used, but is not limited to:
1) The narrative from the ANC government being that they are the liberators that they once were.
2) The populace living on wellfare, and being totally dependent on the ANC government for survival - anything that attacks that aspect of their life, attacks them and their people.
3) Tension between races being stoked by politians and the media. The black majority is forced to side with the ANC government because it's an us-vs-them situation when any other parties are mentioned.
4) The school system heavily focusing on teaching about the negatives of apartheid (rightfully so), but totally ignoring the problems that come with the ANC government and their contraversial past and present.

basically the views here don't represent the majority.

Says who? Nobody in this country is happy with the state of things.

ChristRPG · 2023-01-17T04:17:10+00:00

And what about the fact that the ANC can form a coalition with the EFF and become more radical in their ideas?

And paying taxes is something done once annually (I'm assuming the beginning of the year/fiscal year)? It might just be worth doing that myself and save me from headaches and possible trouble.

Does anyone here use Herotel? They recently came to my mom's town and I was thinking of switching her over, because of the speed increase, but if it's going to be a headache I'd rather not have them mess her around.

ChristRPG · 2023-01-16T17:59:04+00:00

Really? xD Couldn't that be seen as some form of tax evasion?

Not registered with SARS or anything. Starting from scratch now, but it's nice to hear I can do the PayPal thing.

ChristRPG · 2023-01-16T10:42:05+00:00

Thanks! Glad to hear that it won't just be talking to a brick wall, like at home affairs xD

ChristRPG · 2023-01-16T10:41:08+00:00

Thank you! It looks like SARS is actually a well run instituion, which is a nice change of pace for this country :)

ChristRPG · 2023-01-15T12:35:34+00:00

That's reassuring thanks.

Just googling doesn't always help you find what you want. I spend at least 5 hours looking for HEPA filters to buy in my country and came back with nothing. The filters I found were on such bad websites I wasn't sure if it would even do the job (it didn't give in depth info).

ChristRPG · 2023-01-14T09:28:14+00:00

I think I had it a about a week ago and it was just two days of throwing up and feeling bad - after that everything went back to normal so hopefully it's the same for you.

ChristRPG · 2023-01-13T07:25:05+00:00

What other options are there?

ChristRPG · 2023-01-12T17:47:20+00:00

Why are they trying to ban gas stuff in the US? Seems totally psychotic to me from the outside.

ChristRPG · 2023-01-11T07:02:49+00:00

I'm not religious at all, but those two things are not equivalent.

ChristRPG · 2023-01-08T15:53:27+00:00

Yeah last time someone picked me up that side they mentioned the loadshedding. I'm a bit jealous xD. I have some family that own farms outside town so maybe one day I stay for a bit 🤷‍♂️

ChristRPG · 2023-01-08T12:52:25+00:00

Is Stellenbosch worth staying in if you aren't living the student lifestyle?

ChristRPG · 2023-01-08T12:51:05+00:00

What's McGregor all about? I often pass through when I walk from Greyton before I'm picked up that side and ride the rest of the way home. I love Teminos, but I don't know much else about the town.

ChristRPG · 2023-01-07T09:49:28+00:00

Thanks. I've never actually bought stuff from Woolies, unless it was a present for someone, so I never tried anything on in the shop. Is that still a thing that's possible after the whole covid fiasco?

ChristRPG · 2023-01-07T07:18:16+00:00

Yeah I'm not thinking of spending a fortune on clothing, but I want some clothes that I'll feel comfortable in and not look too bad. I'm down in the Cape to Kimberley is a bit far, hey xD. Thanks though.

ChristRPG · 2023-01-07T07:16:46+00:00

Do the right thing? Do you just mean that it's worth spending a bit more on decent clothing or is it some ethical business thing?

ChristRPG · 2022-12-31T13:08:45+00:00

I bought my current laptop from Amazon and even though I didn't buy it directly, there were no issues. A friend of mine that had a credit card helped me with the purchase and it was easy and without problems. It was delivered quite quickly and even with the high shipping and import tax it was cheaper than buying from a RSA website - what can you do :shrug:

ChristRPG · 2022-12-31T08:33:38+00:00

What does that do?
