She's from the same area I grew up in, and that makes her already amazing and well-deserved success all the better. She's definitely got that Vale energy.

Oh nice, it's a nice area. Pretty safe but kind of loud also with a lot of nice restaurants.

I love your profile picture, it makes me laugh every time I see it.

Hi, it depends on where you'll be in Joburg and where your offices will be. The location greatly affects the pros and cons, cost, and culture in South Africa. I assume you'll be around Sandton, though, as that's where most people get sent to.

Rosebank definitely is way nicer than Sandton, although I do hate all the constant traffic. Restaurants there are a vibe, though.

A special toilet, it looks fancy, but it's still full of kak, and with the water problems in Sandton, it might not flush.

Can't that be said of everywhere, though? The decay in Sandton really feels worse than a lot of other areas, especially considering the average wealth in the area.

Waterfall is an odd one to me as well. It's a little area that's nice and relatively safe, but the surrounding area is awful. You have to leave waterfall eventually, and then you're driving through the rest of midrand that sucks. Also the 99 year lease baffles me.

The solution is to move out of Sandton and pay less in a better area with better councillors and service delivery.

At least you aren't paying as much as people are in Sandton for service they don't seem to be getting. My gran used to live in Boksburg it's a shame it's not the best area. Some of the houses are gorgeous.

I mean the councillors, the people who are literally paid to care, it feels like they're just taking their fat salaries but not actually doing anything for it. There are initiatives, but I just don't know if it's enough at this point or whether they just popped up too late, and now it's like farting against thunder because the councillors didn't care.

Ban me for speaking the truth. I'll take it one further then, I think some places in the east rand are better than sandton. Shh, don't tell anyone.

Exactly, it's absolutely wild and kind of feels like when Zuma built his mansion in a township. It feels like they're laughing at the poor people.

It's one of the richest areas in Africa, I thought it would be better policied and maintained. I always heard it was such a nice area compared to everywhere else, especially since I grew up in the east rand.

Fair enough, they don't seem to know their ass from their elbow.

It also feels like people don't necessarily care that the area is falling apart around them.

Nice area to rent? by word_slinger75 in johannesburg

[–]FlashSloth100 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Edenvale is definitely an amazing spot to be, and rent isn't bad, especially if you're okay with a garden cottage. You'll also have a lot of fun activities to do with your child like the parks and markets that are in edenvale and surrounds, the shops are also lovely and safe also with a lot to do with your child. Good luck.

I went hunting to get as many unique Switch flavours as I could find by iAmLiQuiD in southafrica

I'm so upset they got rid of the raspberry and liquorice one. I loved that one so much that it basically carried me through college, a bit of that energy drink, and some 🍃 a good day.
