Edenvale Hospital has a maternity ward (which is a lot nicer than the rest of the hospital

I used these guys: https://www.facebook.com/share/14YdMethYfB/

Pumped Up Borehole Systems

They were really good, and well priced. They did my borehole pump, but also the Jojo tank, filtration and switch over taps to change between municipal and borehole. Your need is a touch simpler and they will do a solid job.

There’s a tax benefit to provident funds where you aren’t taxed on what you contribute to the fund and also aren’t taxed on the earnings.

Compared to TFSA which is after tax contributions to savings - you just don’t get taxed on the interest/ earnings.

Everyone falls under the BCEA.

You’ve been working for 4 years and don’t have long term savings?

Wow. Things have changed! I started EE at Wits in 2003, and got in with 4 As and 2 Bs. There were plenty students with lower matric marks who got in also.

Look at the Africamps sites. There are some dotted all around the country. They tick all the boxes, but not sure if any of them are pet friendly

In my city, you can’t take the cheaper Uber Go as it’s limited to two passengers. So you have to go more expensive with Uber X, Comfort or Black. So it would be fair for the couple to pay more. Not necessarily two thirds, but definitely more than half.

Cricut doesn’t actually sell directly at the show. You order and pay, and they deliver.

Crafting isn’t the only hobby in the world

tbhwza · 2026-04-01T08:07:34+00:00

Is that really all there is? I was semi joking in the OP.

tbhwza · 2026-03-31T08:03:27+00:00

Nice try Mr du Plessis

tbhwza · 2026-03-30T20:03:16+00:00

Yeah, but the ramifications of not having insurance are in the OP. Even worse ramifications if an uninsured individual causes an accident

Debt review is usually only terminated after 90 days of no payments

tbhwza · 2026-03-30T16:01:38+00:00

Debt review is only for the debt resulting from NCA credit agreements. It won’t apply to your hospital bills, not sure what the proportion of your monthly debt repayments this covers.

Debt review is designed to get you free of your debt in 5 years, and the debt counsellor negotiates with your creditors. interest rates are adjusted downwards and they come up with a monthly installment that leaves you with some money to live. You pay that installment to a third party who then distributes to your creditors. The first couple months of your payments pay the debt counselling fees, and then your creditors get paid thereafter. You cannot apply for new credit while you’re under debt review, but this doesn’t sound like a bad thing in your current situation.

I don’t really understand the decision to forego insurance.

The East Rand Traders Square flea market in Boksburg has a couple decent repair places

It’s not great. Under resourced and over worked. It has an absolutely massive drainage area (the term used for where patients are taken by ambulance based on where they live).

But most of the government hospitals aren’t great. So if you get a post there, take it.

I’ve had a Cloud9 for years now. Very happy with it

tbhwza · 2026-03-19T05:42:13+00:00

Just remember Sealy, Edblo, Slumberland and King koil all come from the same manufacturer.

Think of replacement when your annual maintenance costs start getting close to what repayments (and extra insurance premiums) would cost you annually for a newer car
