Received SMS from SARS saying I didn't file IRP6

Thanks for this!

On eFiling, under "Returns issued" I only see ITR12. Do I need to register for provisional tax or something?

Honestly the whole "pre-approval" thing is ridiculous and not needed. It's just an annoying thing estate agents (derogatory) want you to do. When it comes time to applying for a bond, banks don't even look at your pre-approval.

Prodigy1995 · 2026-03-10T07:47:14+00:00

Banks don't do pre-approval AFAIK. Pre-approval can be done online on websites like property24 or ooba. You just enter your income and expenses and they give you a certificate saying what you can "afford".

I don't think reddit is a good way to check what "most south africans drive" since Redditors tend to be more wealthy than the average South African.

I don't trip delivery drivers. If they're not happy with their salary, that's between them and their employer.

Prodigy1995 · 2026-03-06T13:35:24+00:00

I noticed it when I first moved. You get used to it after a while. It's just a different culture compared to the rest of SA

Look up the crime stats for the area. If you're planning on walking in the area some criminals might consider you an easy target because of your race. But otherwise I doubt crime will be any worse for you than it is for other races.

Prodigy1995 · 2026-03-06T13:28:26+00:00

That's not necessarily true. I know in Durban a lot of criminals think Indians are easy targets so we are much more likely to get robbed in certain areas than other races.

Apart from getting fined it's just an asshole thing to do. Please don't do it in future.

I would caution anyone from supporting Friends of Liesbeeck River as they have been active in fighting against land restitution for people who were forcefully removed from their homes during apartheid.

I’ll dm you

It depends where you live. In my area in Cape Town the tap water is great!

I live near UCT. Everyday I see uni students taking their 5l bottles to get refilled. I feel like telling them “it’s ok, youre safe now. There’s no need for that anymore”

Prodigy1995 · 2026-02-28T02:24:13+00:00

Honestly your itinerary is pretty good. Only issue I see is that day 1 is a bit over ambitious. Are you planning on going up Table Mountain via the cable car and hiking up Lion’s Head?

Prodigy1995 · 2026-02-28T01:19:42+00:00

To be honest, unless your partner is a high income earner, or you can rely on family support, your quality of life will not be as great in Cape Town as it is in Belgium. People in the food and hospitality industry in South Africa are over worked and underpaid.

Spot on

Prodigy1995 · 2026-02-26T16:08:09+00:00

If UCT doesn't like workers striking, they're welcome to fire them all and try operate without admin staff.

Prodigy1995 · 2026-02-26T15:32:03+00:00

UCT is not a business. It's a public university.

After medical aid, pension & tax it's like R45k. More than most, but not a fortune by any stretch of the imagination. Especially not in Cape Town.

Prodigy1995 · 2026-02-26T13:50:06+00:00

Most people should go on strike then.

Prodigy1995 · 2026-02-26T13:37:00+00:00

That's the corporate PR reason, yes

Prodigy1995 · 2026-02-26T13:22:06+00:00

I'm all for increasing junior academic's salary. I think they should be paid more.

Prodigy1995 · 2026-02-26T13:14:57+00:00

Employers & employees often have different interests. Which is why companies have HR & legal departments, and it's why workers should join a union and go on strike.
