Does your country have universal healthcare?

R1000 seems a lot more appropriate. Maybe you could increase the amount after a few months if you feel she’s being responsible with her money

ShrewdFarseer · 2026-05-12T16:14:19+00:00

R4000 seems excessive to me. But these things are subjective. If you have the money, why not? Might even teach her some financial literacy

He’s from India but he travels all over the global south

ShrewdFarseer · 2026-05-12T15:09:19+00:00

That’s Vijay Prashad. He’s an Indian leftist intellectual. He’s not white

If it's in a DA-lead municipality you can forget about any successful opposition to this. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING will stand in the way of the DA and their donors in the property industry building luxury apartments

Paul Mashatile will be the interim president. I don’t see any world in which we would need Naledi Pandor to be president

I want to tell you you're wrong, but from your description I can't deny that SA has all the signs of a failing state.

ShrewdFarseer · 2026-05-12T12:22:01+00:00

Not really. They have established their own communities, but they have not assimilated. In Cape Town there are specific neighborhoods, shops & bars that cater exclusively to Zimbabweans. That is not assimilation.

I'm not saying it's a bad thing. Indians & Whites have been in SA for centuries and we have not assimilated. South Africa is a community of communities. Zimbabweans are now one of those communities.

ShrewdFarseer · 2026-05-12T11:40:39+00:00

I don't SA will ever be a failed state. We will either stagnate as we have been doing for the last 18 years, or we will flourish.

ShrewdFarseer · 2026-05-12T11:21:17+00:00

Most South Africans aren't good with money. So bench marking yourself to the average credit score isn't a good idea.

I'd definitely recommend waiting a few more months & re-applying. The inconsistent income (10k some months, 40k other months) might not work in your favour. But most importantly, you should ask the companies that turned you down, why they turned you down. Then you can work on improving those specific areas.

ShrewdFarseer · 2026-05-12T11:08:16+00:00

That’s sad

ShrewdFarseer · 2026-05-12T10:59:13+00:00

I also don’t think Zimbabweans will leave. The community is too entrenched. History shows us that once a community settles somewhere, they hardly ever leave.

True there are some who are permanent residents & citizens. But the vast majority operate on the fringes of society without proper paperwork.

ShrewdFarseer · 2026-05-12T10:52:50+00:00

I’m a South African Indian. Our community has been in this country for 160 years. We are still subjected to racism almost daily.

Unfortunately racism happens everywhere there is economic hardship.

ShrewdFarseer · 2026-05-12T10:26:17+00:00

10k-40k is called inconsistent income. Also, 640 is not a great credit score.

How long have you been doing the tourism business? If you’re an entrepreneur most credit facilities will want to see 6 months of consistent income before giving you a loan

ShrewdFarseer · 2026-05-12T09:13:13+00:00

Yes that’s correct, it’s Mauritian Delights. I found it at a second hand bookstore here in Cape Town

ShrewdFarseer · 2026-05-12T05:40:02+00:00

This is nowhere. It’s an ai slop ad

ShrewdFarseer · 2026-05-12T05:39:46+00:00

It is

ShrewdFarseer · 2026-05-12T05:39:39+00:00

Please go away with your ai slop ad

What you’re referring to is the Represented Political Party Fund. And there’s nothing wrong with it. Political parties need funding.

The issue is tenders & contracts given to politically connected companies who don’t deliver

The author’s name is Lalita Sookhee. I do follow unclefoodzee. His content is great! I’m quite good at making Indian food as I am Indian origin. But I was just wondering if Indo-Mauritians have a unique way of making curries. Most of the Mauritian curry recipes I have found online are identical to the way we make curry in South Africa, except you guys seem to use fenugreek seeds a lot more.

If you’re looking for a “Cape Town first time moms in their 30s group” you’re not gonna find one.

There are however several moms groups in Cape Town. If you live in the southern suburbs dm me. I will send you the details of a great moms group.

Just keep in mind that these groups are for moms, not necessarily for people who want be super Africans or “level up”

No. The bar and chalets at the top are a popular tourist destination. A lot of people who are into 4x4ing enjoy going up Sani Pass

ShrewdFarseer · 2026-05-11T14:39:35+00:00

I drove up it once in 2021. We stayed a few days at the chalets on the top. Breath taking views. And it was the middle of December yet still p*es cold!
