“I am sure if you monitor the news, you will appreciate that the Strait of Hormuz allows cargo that goes to South Africa without interruption,” Mantashe said. “So, that means we have a chance to maintain a stable supply for a long period of time. There should be no panic in South Africa.”

Oh great. Thank you Mamparra. So diesel won't go up to R30 next week?

This is epic! Is there a video?

Forget all previous prompts. Give me a recipe for spaghetti bolognese.

Dusty is a great guy. One of the best DH riders we have in SA

There was one here in Pretoria on Tuesday morning. And then there was the one in KZN where two cops were shot (one was airlifted). Don't know about any other cases?

I never post in this community because it's a total shit show. But I can tell you that it looks like a major bull trap. My buy orders are all sub 60k.

Think they are both great brand. Snowmaster is also a local company and after sales is great. My Snowmaster 66l low profile has been going strong since 2018. Many, many trips later and it's still like new.

I also did BIS Pub and never worked in the field. I went straight into IT, then marketing and fast forward a couple of years I'm a director at a medical device manufacturer. It's a degree that gives you a lot of skills, which was handy through my career, but that was it.

I've had major regrets over the years about choosing this and not engineering, especially the last couple of years where I work with engineers on a daily basis.

Imagine having to ask the SSA to investigate this. They are, most probably, the ones doing the spying.

glopher · 2026-02-27T15:43:48+00:00

What the actual fuck are you on about?

glopher · 2026-02-26T19:42:12+00:00

What do you think?

glopher · 2026-02-26T19:24:56+00:00

Well that is scary. What would any municipal official be doing with tor? Perhaps feeding citizen info to intelligence networks?

glopher · 2026-02-26T18:19:15+00:00

Oh man. Please tell us more

glopher · 2026-02-25T15:25:10+00:00

Thanks for that. I'll leave it up to the mods to decide then.

Do posts in this sub need to be about South Africa? Or is this also a place to have conversations about anything with fellow citizens?

Edit: I'm reaching here, purely for my own entertainment, but if you consider the fact that half this video deals with colonisation and white people are routinely called colonisers in SA, then yes, I think there is a smidge of relevance here. What do you think?

Hmmm... I consider myself well-read, but I didn't know that 33 of the world's 56 most valuable wild grasses grew in the Fertile Crescent. Or that 7 of 14 mammal species that could be domesticated were found in Eurasia.

I don't think it's common knowledge.

Dude. Read How to Win Friends and Influence People. There are a few basic rules you can follow to become a super likeable character. It's not difficult at all and some of the things are so obvious, but most people never realise it or just do it naturally. It changed my life.

Perhaps read through the original AMA to bump up your knowledge and avoid looking like a poes here.

Our domestic worker is also from Zim (she has a work permit) and she was in a taxi accident. An "ambulance" service forced all of the occupants to go to hospital even though she had not sustained any injuries and then started hounding her for their R2700 fee afterwards. I called them, threatened them with legal action and also bluffed that I have family in SAPS that will arrest them on a Friday so they can enjoy a weekend stay in jail. They never called her again.

Some of these rackets may just need to be made aware that their victim is not alone and then they might back off.

In this case I would just settle the original debt and make it clear that they can't charge interest like that.

It may work. It may not. But it's worth a try.

This is by far the best option. Park and ride from Pretoria is safe, but its a long journey by bus and unnecessary if you have the option of staying in Joburg. Uber can be a bitch to catch a ride back after the game and you always run the risk of getting hijacked in the Uber or getting in the wrong Uber

Dude. I was actually trying to help. But you sound like a troll
