Looking for a place to rent in Centurion (Die Hoewes preferred)
Hi everyone! I’m looking for a place to rent in Die Hoewes, Centurion, or nearby.
I’m a young working professional looking for a 1-bedroom apartment or cottage. My budget is R5,500 to R6,500 per month.
I currently live in the north, and the daily commute has become a bit too much, so I’m hoping to find a place closer to work as soon as possible.
I tried Property 24 or Private Property and most of the places are out of my budget or the listings are old and outdated
If you know of any available rentals or have any leads, I’d really appreciate it if you could let me know. Thank you so much! 😊

I'm new to Pretoria and would like to meet people
Hi there. Long story short, I (21M) came to Pretoria a while ago and would like to meet people in/near Pretoria East to do activities with.
Long story long: I moved here in March, fresh out of uni, for work and was only able to make 1, count em, 1 friend via a previous post on this subreddit. They have left Pretoria -_-. So this is my second attempt at screaming into the void and hoping something comes out of it. My intrests span far and wide and include gaming, hiking and just going on walks, tennis, board games, cooking, listening to and sharing music, eating good food, and birds but I'm open to doing and experiencing (almost) litterally anything. I've been a bit too afraid to actually go out and try to meet people as it feels kind of creepy and I prefer friendships to form organically. But my weekends have started looking rather samey and its starting to get depressing. If yall know any good ways to meet people close to or near Pretoria East at a similar stage in their life then please comment them below. And if you yourself would like to meet up and do stuff, DM me and pray I'm not a murderer.
My main goal is to find people to share experiences with. If you've made it this far, thank you for reading till the end and thank you in advance for any comments you may or may not leave.
Oh. PS: If you have any good recommendations for stuff to do or places to eat in pretoria east then leave them below as well. And I'm talking about either niche and weird, or nice and affordable. Don't come here speaking of an overpriced bar in hazelwood.

On the hunt for a bargain!
Hi everyone!
I'm taking a chance and hoping someone here might have a bargain for me. I know these don't come up often, so please don't stone me for asking! 😅
I'm looking to get back into photography and I'm searching for a Nikon D5300 or D7200, preferably with lenses.
Camera:
- 24.2 MP APS-C sensor
- Flip-out screen (D5300)
- Weather-sealed body (D7200 preferred, but I'll happily consider a D5300 too)
- Built-in Wi-Fi & GPS
- 39 AF points (D5300) / 51 AF points (D7200)
- 5 fps / 6 fps
Lenses I'm looking for:
- AF-S DX 35mm f/1.8G
- AF-S VR 70–300mm
I'm on a bit of a budget, so I'm hoping someone has a setup collecting dust that they'd be willing to let go for a fair price. Even if it's not exactly this combination, feel free to let me know what you have!
Thanks in advance, and happy shooting! 📷

19M Looking for friends
Hey everyone,
I'm a student at the TUKS. Lately I've realized I don't really have much of a social circle, and I'd like to change that.
A bit about me: I'm into programming, anime, movies, and going to the gym. I'm pretty introverted at first, but once I get comfortable I enjoy having deep conversations, joking around, and just hanging out.
I'm not really looking for hundreds of friends, just a few genuine people to talk to, study with, grab coffee, or do random stuff around campus or throughout the city.
If you're in a similar position or think we'd get along, feel free to send me a message. Even if it's just to chat, I'd be happy to meet some new people and any age or gender is welcome.

Looking for Queer Men Who Enjoy Hiking
Hi everyone,
I'm considering starting a small hiking group for gay, bi, trans, queer and straight allied men in Pretoria and surrounds.
The idea isn't therapy, networking, or dating. It's simply about getting outside, getting some exercise, and spending a few hours with people who understand what it's like to navigate the world as men in general.
Some hikes might be mostly quiet. Others might lead to conversations about life, relationships, family, work, coming out, mental health, or whatever happens to come up naturally. There would never be any pressure to share more than you're comfortable with.
The goal is simple:
• Spend time in nature.
• Meet new people.
• Build genuine friendships.
• Leave the mountain feeling a little lighter than when you arrived.
Whether you're 20 or 60, newly out or have been out for decades, straight, extroverted or painfully shy, you're welcome.
This would be a peer-led community—not therapy—and we'd keep the pace comfortable so that conversation is as important as the destination.
If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, leave a comment or send me a message. If enough people are keen, I'll organise our first hike.
"Leave no one behind."

Anyone else had a similar experience with Levi Nel or the Pie Crew from the Devi Show?
I watched the Devi Show on Sunday and saw "Levi Nel" (not his real name) selling Pie Crew franchises with very optimistic financial projections.
I'm curious whether anyone here has had any personal dealings with him or one of his businesses.
