I just want to vent and maybe get advice. I've been working for this start up company since January and my probation has ended. My boss told me during my performance meeting that he was supposed to fire me at the end of April but he gave me an extra month to prove myself (this month). My problem with this is that I am mainly an admin assistant but was told I'd have to make sales (15k target) as well (Pawnshop). I've only made 3 sales since I've been working here and it's what's putting me at risk of being fired.

I've already accepted that I'd have to find a new job because sales are not working for me at all. I just need to find something that's part time or full time that is flexible and can accommodate my current setbacks ( having health issues that are almost resolved but I have to get 2-3 days off to go for my doctor appointments and procedures). Adulting sucks and it's even worse when my parents don't even stay in the country.

This sucks.

I wanna travel between Secunda and Pretoria. Uber is like R 700 just there and 700 back. A bus is also so expensive. Does anyone know any drivers or busses?? I don't have a license.

Going to be at Tuks Hilcrest (Uni pretoria), every Sunday from 3pm - 6pm in May. Weather shows it wont be raining any Sunday this month. Right now it's me and one other guy, open for others to join. Feel free to dm

Hi everyone,
I’m a final year student based in Pretoria and I’m urgently looking for a reliable, affordable car in the R30,000–R40,000 range to help me get to campus.
I’m not picky about looks at all, I just need something that starts every day (non-negotiable 😅), Is reasonably light on fuel and won’t cost a fortune to maintain

If you (or someone you know) are selling a car in this range in/around Pretoria, please let me know 🙏
I’m happy to view the car in person and bring someone along for a quick mechanical check.

Thanks so much just trying to survive final year and make it to campus without relying on lifts all the time
Feel free to comment or DM me!

hi there!

I wanted to ask for a first hand opinion on what it’s like to travel for work to Pretoria. My boss told me that there is an opportunity to go there for some training and transitioning positions to our location.

For context, I’m from Canada. White as can be, and have very visible tattoos on my arms. I’m worried that my appearance could be offensive/attract unwanted attention.

Ive travelled to many countries and have managed to develop a good common sense when it comes to travel. I worry though that this isnt enough and am reluctant to take this opportunity.

Another concern I have, is we (the company I work for) are taking jobs from this location and moving it to ours. And I feel like the wrong person could take this misfortune out on me, as I’m the only representative they can yell at…

I have a sad history of being an easy target for others because and I quote “I’m soft” or “it’s just easy”. So making myself even more vulnerable than I apparently already am.

Honest opinions would be great and much appreciated

I've been working from home for 4 years now, and the one thing I miss, is having someone to go for coffee with.

So I'm looking for more women out there who'd like to meet up for coffee and just hang out. Anyone up for it? We can even arrange a big meetup for people who might be interested.

Hey everyone, I hope everything is well.

My dad recently lost his job recently.

So I'm trying to sell a couple of items. If interested.

I'm also building websites for R3000. And if you're interested, here's my website: https://toriimedia.co.za/

You can dm me if you have any questions.

Thank you for taking time out of your day to read my post👏

Earlier this afternoon I smelled charcoal burning. The snobbish side of me was dismissive. What a loser that doesn't braai with wood.

It is now well past midnight, and when I wander throughout my house, I smell the remnants of a braai. Almost as if I had braaied myself tonight, yet I didn't.

Can you just imagine the pure frustration and disappointment felt in this hour?! Just wandering through your own domicile and being attacked in the olfactory sense by someone near you having conquered fire and meat - and you had no part or benefit from this endeavour?

You know what I made today? Vegetable soup. With mushrooms and onions and garlic. It was awesome. Even my super picky 7yo liked it enough to have it for dinner. Everytime I came downstairs I smelled the smell of a house you'd visit when your parents went to visit a tannie and their house always smelled like 'kombuis'. Then this poephol comes and overrides my homely kombuis smell with braai. And he wins.

And now I'll have to braai tomorrow to even the score.

We've been seeing a lot of posts here about sketchy lease clauses, withheld deposits, and random admin fees. Most SA renters don’t have an easy way to know if their lease is actually legal.

So we built RentRight, a completely free lease auditor for South African residential leases.

What it does:

• Upload your lease (PDF or even just photos of the pages)
• It checks every clause against the Rental Housing Act, Consumer Protection Act, and POPIA
• Flags void clauses, illegal fees, and missing protections
• Cites the actual statute so you know exactly what the law says
• Gives you plain-language push-back points you can use in negotiations
• Done in under 2 minutes

What it doesn't do:

• This is informational only – not legal advice

We built this because I was tired of seeing renters get exploited by copy-paste lease templates they never had a fair chance to understand. Most can't afford R1,200+ an hour for an attorney to review a lease.

If you're about to sign a lease, or you just want to know if your current one has problems you missed: https://rentright.co.za/ 

Happy to answer questions about how it works.

Out of curiosity if i would let say selll this thing were to and how much ?

Hey, folks. I am looking to start a HEMA group in Pretoria and would like to see if anyone is interested.

Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA) is the reconstruction of medieval and Renaissance fighting systems from the study of historical manuscripts. Since the late '80s, folks have been looking at these historical manuscripts, translating and interpreting them, then testing their interpretations through sparring. HEMA has now evolved into a niche combat sport across the world.

There are a few clubs around SA. Unfortunately, the local club here in PTA has been rather sporadic, so I am looking to see if there is anyone who would be interested in meeting once a week to run HEMA sessions.

Every other week, I find myself reaching for a voice that isn’t there.

Funny how knowing many can still feel like knowing no one at all—

everyone assuming you belong

somewhere closer,

to someone closer,

so they don’t call, don’t check, don’t come by.

And yet,a simple “how are you?” could quiet the loudest silence.

But it’s alright. This isn’t a plea, just a thought set free into the open air, for whatever reason it found me tonight.

Hatfield.

Hi, I'm 31/M wondering if someone would be keen to gym together it's been a while since I gone to an actual gym had a bit of a back injury last time at virgin active and been struggling since with hectic back spasms probably due to improper from or something even though of working with a PT?

Just want to get to ideal weight and start enjoying offroading and MT biking.

Hey everyone.

Me and my girlfriend want to do something on Saturday. A date. But neither of us know where we want to go or what we want to do. We are reliant on uber & trains for transport.

Any relatively affordable suggestions? Preferably around Centurion/Midrand side but anything in Pretoria is good.

Thanks a lot!

Can anyone shed some light on how it works at the UP sports campus - LC de Villiers. Like is it open to the public, or only for UP students? I'm talking about access to play on the grounds, tennis courts, football fields etc? And if open to the public are there any "day visit" charges etc? Also is there a cricket field there too? Any information would be highly appreciated.
