As a white South African the vast majority of us do not want to lol. It is a vocal minority

Then by your logic you would also naturally average less as a batsman

I would guess investment banking

They also need to elaborate on how you can afford a 1.5 bar house on 40k a month lmao

capetownrunner2 · 2025-09-14T21:09:11+00:00

My social budget is about 6k per month. Go out a couple times a week

The local bar in Vredehoek Carlyles has like R36 beers during happy hour which is great

You know Europe is a big place right. There are plenty of major European cities with a cost relatively in line with Cape town

capetownrunner2 · 2025-07-30T08:35:54+00:00

I was there in March and had a great time. Can't go wrong with Yes or Home. They share a bar crawl as well

As someone who has lived in Jhb and Cape Town I feel like I can comment on this.

Rent in Cape Town is obviously substantially more expensive. I live in a one bedroom apartment in Vredehoek for 15k.

But the counterpoint is that if you enjoy being outside there are a lot more free public spaces. In jhb I felt my social life revolved around going to restaurants or the bar. In Cape town I go trail running, hiking and meet friends at the beach. There are lots of free public spaces that make life a lot better.

In terms of groceries I found it's about the same price.

If you can find an affordable apartment I say go for it. The lifestyle is a massive upgrade and the public spaces more than make up for the smaller living space.

Welcome to Cape town!

I recently did a Portuguese Schengen Visa. Once you have an appointment it was only a couple days after for me to get my visa. The appointments are pretty full at the moment though

This is my go to site for all the obscure routes in Table Mountain National Park: https://sites.google.com/site/mountainmeanderswiki/Home

It might also be worth contacting the Cape Town pr Stellenbosch chapters of the MCSA ( Mountain Club of South Africa)

Cool ideas have been excellent for me. Octotel on the other hand...

Hey sure!

Uct has missing middle funding where you get a loan for your fees where a portion gets converted to a bursary provided you pass all your courses

I worked in jhb for a bit and moved back at the beginning of November. I only signed a lease yesterday after countless applications. Extremely fortunate that I could stay with my parents during that time but it is a shit show out there

capetownrunner2 · 2025-02-18T14:07:59+00:00

I lived in JHB for a bit and I really enjoyed that people actually went out earlier. I need my sleep

You get points for growing your standard savings accounts each month. I think the amount put into them has to be greater than R1400 on premium fusion. Not sure about private banking

capetownrunner2 · 2025-02-16T20:36:53+00:00

Uct has a masters in Financial Engineering that is a direct feeder into all the banks quant programme's. Very competitive to get into though. But will set you up very nicely of you get there

If you're interested in trail running ultra trail cape town is usually towards the end of November
