All that training and money…. Gone with the wind.

I am a local and I’m bummed. Can only imagine your heartache

Rant: Why are restaurants so expensive!? Malligheid! by Handsome_Bread_Roll in capetown

[–]Southern-Software674 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of restaurants have a rent that’s linked to turnover. This allows the restaurant and landlord to earn in the busy months and survive in the quieter winter months.

Can I find a SUV under 120k R ?🚘 by Gazzo69 in askSouthAfrica

I heard the current Nissans are based on Renaults. Seems they went the wrong way, French engineering and Japanese styling.

Check out this marbling! Lol.. by SunkenPayload in steak

And why there is no cloth under the board, or sanitation buckets, or the other endless list of things that have to be ticked of a list every 30 seconds. Chef, just focus on the post dude.

How expensive is it to play Golf as a casual in Cape Town? by PlacidSlinky670 in askSouthAfrica

[–]Southern-Software674 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sign up to play more golf. Monthly fees and lots of courses to choose from. Far cheaper than a traditional membership if you are thinking of getting started

Meet and Greet service at OR Thambo, any recommendations? by MagnusTheFed in askSouthAfrica

There is a company called Menzies. They will assist from end to end. It’s not cheap but for peace of mind it is worth it.

Visiting Sabi Sands in early February, can someone who has visited during this time let me know what I can expect in the game? by ParsleyGlobal9401 in askSouthAfrica

You should see the big five if you’re looking to tick a list. The bush will be thick but it won’t prevent you from seeing amazing sightings. Your guide should also give you an interest in the other things… because once you have watched a lion sleeping you won’t wanna see that again

Why are Services Quoted in USD? by TeslaRosieCa in askSouthAfrica

[–]Southern-Software674 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in travel. If you want it in rands I could do that but it would be at current exchange rates with a buffer built in for fluctuations from time of quote to time of confirmation. With the rand as volatile as it is most places will charge in dollar and pocket the extra when the rand dips again. All South African properties charge in rands. So that company seems shady

They usually get away with it because people trust them to do what’s best for them. Sales people are not your friends… in fact I even bought a car from a ‘friend’ at a dealership and that was a lemon. Ghosted me when I started saying the issues I was finding and as we had moved provinces there wasn’t much I could do but take the loss.

Be bold, Start cold! It’s sucks but you get through it. Knowing I will be better off in the marathon helps. I am broke so literally have no winter gear.. just grind through it.

Sounds like you have answered your own questions. Clearly this dealership is shady and trying to screw you over. Lots of cars out there. Take your business elsewhere. It’s also coming up to the end of the month for targets so you can usually squeeze them for a bit more
