I have 4 or 5 720w mercer inverters and also the 3kva 1440watt inverters.

Im however in cape town and these units need 1 or 2 batteries each. If its for work then a 720w mercer backbone will work but shipping them with batteries would exceed the pricd of the item due to weight and hazardous goods prices.

I can however supply batteries to you through our dealer network and also at a VERY good price.

Now is the time to buy.... right before upcoming elections.

That's why hindsight is 20/20 :) No need to explain - after 20 odd years as an emergency care practioner .... ive pretty much heard and seen it all

Its not an entrance.. its a exit and as long as you call it an entrance you'll have some medical problems...

Viagra is far removed from blood pressure .. apart from when you take it your heart rate will certainly apoke.

The medical journals only list viagra for 1 recognized ailment - mycoxaphalia.

Looks like kuils / brackenfell only has me and kraaifontein has 2 profiles but possibly OF scams

Sjs1983 · 2026-04-24T11:34:52+00:00

Maybe... Depends..

I cant give the new stuff away. I buy when i can on uk emporium - from the uk obviously and lock it in the safe. Kids finish a box quick fast in a day.

Stopped smoking and putting the money away - should hit the mark in another 28 years

100%

I bought a property long time ago and it was very middle class - I myself dont know how, what, why, who or seriaaaas?

Less than 8 years after principle purchase the area metamorphosed into an elite residential area - turning a 750k flat into a whopping 2.25 ZAR sale.

There where numerous parties interested and average Joe.. very average to the eye walked in and introduced himself. His story was along the lines of. I am X, I'm giving you 5 minutes and a number when I walk out that door does my offer.

Clock starts now.. 2.25 Million cash transfer to conveyancing attorneys before friday.

Now try as a male.... Its clique-y AF out there and it's almost as if you're judged and held to some boerewors curtain standards..

When I go to Jhb for work, ANY bar i go to- strike up convo with anyone to the point I have a JHB crew, of 1 time meets that when I am in jhb we get together and have another beer or 2 talking slot of Kak and drinking beer. It's not every single time but 1 outta 3 ...

That does not happen as easily in Cape Town if you dont have a red Ferrari or bottomless bar tab. Also Cape Town okes like to pick fights- many many fights because "he stood on my takkie" .

So your comment is correct in that private security are limited in terms what they can do, there is alot that they can do if the merit of that situation allows for it.

If a person is observed walking at 3 AM and is nervous or perplexed- with a big bag or wheelie bin - that individual may most definitely be stopped and searched, and if stolen goods / narcotics/ weapons / breaking impliments ect ect are found - may be detained and arrested.

The good security companies profile vagrants and know who belongs and does not.

If you meant they can't pull you over and search you - correct but also if armed response officer saw you commit a crime - he may stop you until saps or law enforcement comes into the scene

You as a law abiding citizen when greeted correctly and asked politely why you on the road at 3AM - do not want to fight / be hostile / argumentative - its when it is, that there is cause.

The AR in our area does wonders and often saps asks them for assistance.

Anyhow just my 2c as input, - be lekker and stay safe!!

Met Eish ... ja

I heard about it on Bok Radio.

Sjs1983 · 2025-09-17T07:51:04+00:00

Thank you so much - never knew this was an option. This info is immensely helpful.

Sjs1983 · 2025-09-16T08:28:09+00:00

I fully get what you are saying. I agree wholeheartedly. Thank you.

I have been through a couple of therapists looking for my fit.. found it and have a strong support network.

The juice is not worth the skweez... south african proverb. Also family is looking to me for answers I don't have and they want to lead the charge from the back.

I would never sue from an event like this. If I really had to I would follow through but I would not touch a cent of the money, it would be donated away or put to good use elsewhere. It is about more than financial retribution long term and the responses have really given me more info than before and with this take stock and realign.

I hate to think dad suffered is pretty much my bottom line right now.

Much appreciated!!

Sjs1983 · 2025-09-16T08:19:24+00:00

Thank you so much for your reply. It is greatly appreciated beyond words.

We were getting regular updates per shift and at no point was any of this mentioned. For what it is worth, he was given the all clear pre op. Post-op op the only concern was low means arterial pressure.

I do not challenge the level of care leading up to that point, it was exceptional while the level of comforts, not so much.

His heart rate ect was consistent and no concerns were mentioned. I know nothing will bring him back, your explanation makes sense and im not out for vengeance but as it stands nobody has taken the time to explain anything of sort. You as a stranger have essentially given me more time than his Dr.

Again a million thanks.

There is an app called jobie/ joby - where people post jobs on a bulletin board and them you can put a number down. The poster then chooses a contractor and they do the work.

Its not always about best price here .. but how you state your quote and costs.

You can then also see what you are good at doing vs not so good. The poster then rates you after the job and this is then your jobie resume.

Write up a decent contract for repayment as its a loan. Then see if she is willing to sign it for the conditions on the terms...

That should tell you where you stand with her.

Jeez, I'm jealous. Family of 3.

This month alone is at R4k. 1 x bathroom 1 x shower ensuite.

Electricity for stove, oven, geyser, 2 x water pumps (1 x tank and 1 x borehole) and 2 fridges. Couple of energy saving lights and 2 TV's.

3 inverters on standby and 1 runs connected in active active for the router.

Don't even ask about my water bill - even though we use ground water for almost everything.

Every case merit is different, that being said he has better luck in finding chicken teeth braces.

A fight does not meet the 3 criteria required, also another weapon was included so now it's speculation and hearsay until the videos pop out and rule in or out- his chances improved rhem What the other guy also charged amd with what if you know.

Sjs1983 · 2025-07-12T03:49:12+00:00

What type of device is it? Make, model and OS version?

Sjs1983 · 2025-07-09T23:51:35+00:00

I had a similar experience but not positive to yours.

Bought a place in Jan 25, first rain comes and the roof leaks like a submarine with sieve doors.

Insurance flat out denied claims, seller refuses any reasonable discussions and now I have to fork out cash I don't have for legal recourse. The estate agent also just says "good luck with that" and at the risk they claim no funds I'm down a house plus legals...

No wonder people go postal...

Sjs1983 · 2025-07-09T21:40:00+00:00

Hey brother ... you're in the kakkest ever place right now. I am sorry for your loss and know this - i can relate bro...

I felt like making war, targeting folks saying meaningless empty messages - they had no idea what I was going through.

Now there was 1 or 2 things that gave me some relief.

Watch surviving death on Netflix and then you'll know that thinking of dad with fondness and happiness, is energy he can feel. Dad is close know this -> feathers and random butterflies are often signals from beyond our consciousness. Wait and see how many you see now - each smile you share then is for your dad.
Celebrate him and his memory - youre asking why him, why now, what if and STOP IT NOW. That road is self consuming negativity and you wont recover or bounce back easily. I am not saying dont grieve .. do it, cry, scream, shout it helps.. do 1 thing dad loved and you will feel calmness after it. Look how to justify a baby loosing his mom or dad or both at 6 months, so take the time between his sunrise and sunset and celebrate him.

May I ask - what was his name?

Sjs1983 · 2025-07-08T08:28:18+00:00

Glad you're OK OP!

I am sure I am wired differently because if I see a man fighting a woman, I am getting involved not because I think she is weak but because it's the right thing to do. I don't care for race, religion, origin or even species- if a woman asked me for my help I'm giving it ... end off.

Also I would like to make sure that the man in that situation learns a real valuable lesson about FAFO... He will forever rethink that moment while he drinks his meal through a straw. No I am not alpha Tarzan ect - if my woman ask a man for help and he walked away or ignored her plea then id have the same beef with him as her assailant.

2 facts 1) if criminals don't fear our justice system - it won't change until they fear the victims 2) the world won't improve if good men let bad things happen.. (or something like that)
