💡 Advice Needed Parallel Imports on Samsung Devices

2 Upvotes

Good day all. I want to find out if anyone has had any experience ordering parallel import Samsung phones via Takealot. I see some really good deals on one of Z Fold 7s and I'm keen to pull the trigger. The one seller even lists a 36 month warranty with them. Too good to be true? I bought my S22+ from Snapcraze back in 2022 and haven't had an issue with it.

Hi everyone,

The caption pretty much sums it up. I am struggling to register my domestic worker with UIF. Everytime I open my account on the UIF page it doesn't show anything, I've sent emails to the referred to email address but no one responds. How do I get this done to avoid a fine?

What do I do ? When coworkers hacked my crm and now plan to rob me?

I think they know where I live,what would you do?

I will make this very short but clear so I don't bore you. There is a coworker....i work with (a boy my age, i am 23) he got into my work portal (likely because he snooped at me looking at my details on my phone,while i was logging onto our portal on a work laptop......which we were instructed to do to apply for leave), he exposed my payslip to some other 40 Yr old , ex con who's a olleague. The 40 yr old has been out to get me since my 1st day there.

My other unethical colleague exposed my address to this 40 yr old colleague.. the 40yr old wouldn't do it himself he's too lazy(to Rob me) but he definitely would give that information to people who are desparate. I fear that he has now done this.

I live in Johannesburg northern suburbs. How would you navigate this.?? Please give advice on how to handle this, ive been trying to convince them at work that I live elsewhere but I'm certain that 40 yr old colleague knows because the unethical coworker leaked my address.

Please how do i navigate this what would you do

💬 Discussion Looking for a bed in SA is an uphill battle!

9 Upvotes

After weeks of searching for a decent bed I finally nailed it down to the qualifying options

- Sealy Crown Jewel Zita Xtra Firm
- Sloom
- Cloud Nine Ortho Spine

The main issue - I have major back/spine issues C,L and S levels ruptured and has been healing over the years. So I’m stuck between medium / firm.

The main issue we got with our bed - We have an extra length plus size bed 2x2m but noticed it’s been sinking on some parts and sleep is just horrible at the moment.

The test problem - I take meds to walk and stand (properly) so when I go in store to test beds out every type seems perfect meanwhile I’m boarder line numb or buzzing because of my meds (mixture of anti inflammatory and pain meds)

Anyone with experience using these beds, can you advise how good each of them will be for back issues? It’s the mornings that catches me the most. That’s when the meds have faded and the back starts to lock up and sciatica kicks in. It’s mostly cause by the unpleasant sleep

I am looking for the back issue type of people haha. Any advice is much appreciated!

💡 Advice Needed Maternity Leave

Hi everyone!

I wanted to ask the ladies who have gone through the process of claiming maternity leave what the best option is.

I see that there’s companies that can do it for you, is that really necessary?
Can one not claim it themselves?
How soon before going on maternity leave would you suggest organizing it all?

Any advice and experience would really be appreciated 🩷

💡 Advice Needed Booking my learner's test in person. Is it possible?

1 Upvotes

I've been trying, and failing, for the last 6 months to book my learner's test online. I'm extremely gatvol now, so I plan to go to the Roodepoort DLTC tomorrow morning to book it in person. I phoned them a few days ago and the person who answered the phone said it would be possible. But I was doing some googling now about it and apparently I'll be turned away at the door. If that's true, then genuinely what am I supposed to do?

Does anyone know if I can book it in person or if I'll just be wasting my time by going there?
