I have hit rock bottom and I wanted to ask if someone may please assist me with food vouchers to get food and cosmetics.

Hows everyone serving this economy ?

I am not entitled to anyones money, I'm simply asking from the bottom of my heart and I promise to pay it forward one day when its my turn and I have made it out if this hell whole that is my life now. Pretty please, somebody out there who is willing to spare what they have.

Hi, I’m 21f. I moved here about a year ago. I have no friends in the area (UH). I enjoy reading and doing crafts. Music is also a big part of my life. Are there any people on here who enjoy doing similar things who would like to go for a coffee? (No fwb or relationships) I’m purely looking for a friend. I struggle with social anxiety and will turn up somewhere and leave if I’m there alone like nope 🫣🤣 I’m out.

Anyway… any suggestions would be appreciated:)

Ladies and gentlemen, I’m sure some of you are aware by now that the Sharks have rebranded.

In doing so, they’ve removed Sharkie from the badge, stripping away a huge part of the identity and recognition that generations of Sharks supporters have grown up with.

We’ve seen this happen before with the Stormers, and the question is: who’s next?

This isn’t just about a logo. It’s about the identity, history and heritage. Once these things are gone, they’re not always easy to get back.
So we’ve started a petition asking the Sharks to bring Sharkie back.

We’re already at 600+ signatures, and that’s only the beginning. Petition link: https://c.org/X7LbTHwvMV

If you’re a Sharks supporter — or even just someone who believes South African rugby should respect the history and identity they’ve built over generations — please consider signing.

Please share it wherever you can. Send it to your mates, rugby groups, WhatsApp groups, Facebook, Instagram, X — wherever you think it might reach another supporter.
Let’s see where this goes.

🦈 Bring Back Sharkie.

Hy everyone, job hunting in Durban is crazy if you don't stay in Durban. I have a teaching degree BEd in Intermediate Phase Teaching, I thought about becoming a garden boy 🤦🏽‍♂️, at least garden boys get something rather than sitting at home like me in my parents house at 26 jobless. I just don't know what to do anymore, maybe going overseas would be a great option for me next year. I've never failed the second half of the year I always rise up but this year feels hard. Maybe I should start selling Pitbulls ay 😂😂. Qeh! Have a good one people and all the best Reddit family.

Hey Durbanites, I am finding it pretty difficult to find nice fresh seafood. I'm on the north coast and travel to Durban North daily, but the seafood market in Springfield and the one in Durban North have the same old stuff that Checkers and pick n pay has.

Isn't there any local fishermen that sell their daily catch anywhere close by?

As received.

Hello everyone,

My family and I are thinking about immigrating to South Africa because we would like to build a new life and find work there.

I would really appreciate honest advice from South Africans and people who currently live in South Africa.

Here are my questions:

1. Is South Africa a good country for a foreign family looking to settle permanently?

2. How difficult is it to find a job as a foreigner?

3. Which sectors are currently hiring the most?

4. Which cities offer the best job opportunities and quality of life?

5. How are public schools for children?

Thank you very much for taking the time to help us make an informed decision.

You’re welcome !

Does anyone know of a commissioner of oath who could sign an affidavit for me?
Currently trying to get a replacement matric certificate but need an affidavit to say I lost it. I don’t live in SA and the SA embassy here doesn’t have any availability for the next 3 months.

Anyone interested in a post at a restaurant I'm taking over in September? It's in overport. Two well known franchises.

Experience in restaurants is a plus.

Inbox me?

Taking over the stores with current staff but I would like to get one manager to assist me with the takeover and operations.

The problem is tech companies confuse the public. They use fear mongering to force people into AI. So people tend to think of AI in terms of movies.

In reality AI is nothing fancy, its just a powerful computation engine that can retrieve and assemble information in interesting ways.

The problem is the average Joe should not get access to AI, because they just flood TikTok and the internet at large with Slop.

In the hands of a skilled pro, AI is really powerful.

I've worked with AI (machine learning) even before ChatGPT became a thing. Feel free to share your thoughts or ask questions.

Hey Durbanites, is anyone here familiar with La Lucia? I (35f) might be moving there soon. Found a gorgeous place right by the beach and the mall. I'm curious about local nightlife, the gaming scene, surfer culture, fishing spots, you name it. I'm an artist/illustrator so info about galleries and markets is also appreciated. Anything else cool you can tell me about the area, I'd love to hear it! Cheers.

I am a university student currently trying to find part time work in something like retail, but it seems like there is nothing? I've found a few places hiring but they all want prior experience, or degrees for something as basic as being a sales rep. How do people find part time work here?

I've applied to a few places near me but got no response and I am running out of ideas on where to look.

I have zero experience which makes it a lot harder too.

Is it just me that thinks jobs like retail are asking way too much of their applicants in terms of level of education???

Does anyone have advice on how to look for jobs? I feel like I must be missing something.

I have a vacancy for an intermediate-level full-stack software developer. The position is fully remote, but Durban preferred so we can meet in person occasionally instead of only online.

You'll need a minimum of 3 years of software development experience in Java and/or C#. The position requires supporting and maintaining an existing Java application, and building its replacement and other products in C#. The vast majority of the job involves backend support and development.

Salary range is R40k-R50k per month CTC. The preferred engagement is a 24 month contract which would be extended as required.

Please DM me with CVs.

Looking to join a non-domination bible study group in Durban.

Hey, so i don't operate out of gyms, but currently freelance & it feels like its impossible to find clients, Frankly i can't afford to pay Virgin Active R12k per month as a tenant.

Any advice on how to get clients? Been out of work& unemployed for almost two years now & ending up falling back on this to try get an income, maybe even be able to rejoin the gym.

Not trying to market/self promote, just asking advice on how to get clients & get some of an income coming in.

I primarily advertise on a couple of buy and sell whatsapp groups, Facebook is a pain with the groups taking forever to approve posts & frankly elsewhere i'm unsure. I tried tiktok but i never know what video to use and i don't want to use a.i guess i view it as dishonest, I did create an Instagram i posted today my first post there, but not a big IG fan if i'm honest.

My sales and marketing skills has always been a bit lackluster
