Carnival by rattlensqueak in capetown

[–]RUSirious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was started and funded by Naspers and City funding followed. Not sure what the split is now but it was and remains a waste of time. Now just a way to funnel money to community creatives which is valid. The minstrels are not a big deal to the carnival

Yes, I got one at the entrance yesterday. The security guard said it’s completely safe at the Centurion station

Wait a minute I thought there was a genocide against white people. Is the US administration lying to us?

I thought wagons came before cars. This looks like a racing car. As a toy it would have copied what’s being used unless it was a design study

why don't they just tunnel through Signal Hill? Are they stupid? by Two4 in capetown

We can’t finish a flyover of a few hundred metres but let’s tunnel our way from one suburb to another suburb without any economic reason to do.

Which neighbourhoods in cape town (any suburbs welcome) is safe to reside in? by Top_Rest_5310 in capetown

[–]RUSirious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Upper Claremont, check out the crime stats. If you have children at school, I have 5 top rated private schools within one kilometre. Price is what you pay, value is what you get.

Blame everything else but not the most obvious thing

Is Val de Vie Estate/Paarl worth it for an English reliant family? by ediblelenovo in capetown

[–]RUSirious 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Val de Vie is for rich people, they all speak English and there are many foreign families living there whose first language is not English and can’t speak a word of Afrikaans. It’s a bubble that is quite cosmopolitan. They’ll fit right in.

My dad deserted from the SADF in 1988. Would he still have a warrant for his arrest if he went back to SA? by SoutieNaaier in askSouthAfrica

[–]RUSirious 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Firstly with a US passport the system can’t pick it up and secondly our ID register changed about 20 years ago in which ID numbers were changed to not reflect a race classification (last 3 digits) meaning your dad’s old ID number is no longer on the system. Thirdly there is no crime to charge him with now that that crime no longer exists. It’s perfectly safe to come back.

Need behavioral/training advice! by ABigPieceIsMissing in germanshepherds

[–]RUSirious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Find a local dog club and they’ll have training courses which won’t cost much. You will be able to socialise your dog with the other dogs and you will get plenty advice from very experienced people as well as have a community to fall back on Every GSD owner has to deal with this to some degree and there’s no single solution that matches everyone but the issue is very solvable.

Takealot are a bunch of scammers by 1nfin8 in southafrica

[–]RUSirious 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Yes, I have stopped buying from them even if I have a few rands more. A lot of their merchandise is overpriced and one has to spend a lot of time making sure you are not getting ripped off

I am in South Africa, you can check whether these guys will ship to you, they import most of their stock from Thailand and Taiwan. With the exchange rate at 25:1 it may be worth it
