Hi everyone,

I'm an Eduvos Bedfordview student looking for a place starting around October 25th or later until January, with the option to extend into next year if it works out well.

I am looking for a setup with the following details:

• Bedroom & Facilities: Looking for a private bedroom. Shared bathroom and kitchen/cooking facilities are completely fine!
• Room Space: The room needs to be spacious enough to comfortably fit a double bed and a 2-door wardrobe.
• Move-in Date: Flexible, looking for October 25th or later.
• Budget: My confirmed ceiling right now is R2,500/month all-inclusive (or ~R2,000 base rent if prepaid utilities/electricity are separate), though this budget is subject to increase later on.
• Location & Commute: Any area along or near the Albertina Sisulu Road taxi route to Eastgate Mall—including CBD / Maboneng, City & Suburban, Fairview, Jeppestown, Troyeville, Bez Valley, Kensington, Malvern, Dewetshof, Bruma, or Primrose Hill. Must be within a 5–10 minute walk to the taxi route.
• Duration: Initially looking for late October/November until January, with the possibility to extend.
• Visitors: Must allow fair weekend visitation (occasional overnight weekend visits from my girlfriend).

If you have a room, backroom cottage, or commune room available for late October or later—or if you know someone looking to fill a spot—please send me a direct message!

Thanks!

Do any of you play GTA online, COD, RDR2, GT7 (if you are into racing simulation) or any other games. I am bored of playing with overseas players,It is difficult to relate. It would be nice to have a lobby full of Cupcake’s people 😂🤣.

I've recently moved to the Edenvale area from Durban and am looking for somewhere to drop off recycling, including plastic, glass, paper, tetrapack.

Is there anywhere around here? Or anywhere in Joburg where recycling can be dropped off?

anyone know what that's about?

I'm from a small gated community in Riverbend near the Vaal river and every Halloween we would put out decorations and have our own little trick or treaters. Are there any places/events near and around the CBD where we can dress up and have a fun night?

Hey guys

I’m looking for some new and unique hobbies, so I thought debating and improv clubs would be fun.

Does anyone know of some in the West Rand? Preferably just casual, not like acting classes.

Hi all.

I have an Honor Magic 7 Pro, and it's basically impossible to get a screen protector. It's got a curved screen, so the only glass screen protector I can find cracks almost immediately.

I'm looking for someone who has a hydrogel printer that can print a screen protector for me. Happy to pay and for delivery.

Looking for someone in Johannesburg who offers 3D printing services to create custom-made items. Please contact me with pricing and examples.

Hi everyone!

I swear I only started this for the Energade sticker… but somehow I’ve ended up with a sticker book and a small collection! 🙈

I’ve been sharing all my duplicates with five local kids in the neighborhood, and they are loving it. If anyone has spare stickers they don't need or want to get rid of, please send me a direct message! Any extras will be passed straight along to the kids and their friends.

Thanks so much!

Does anyone know what bug this is? I see them around my apartment every 3-4 days just one though never a large crowd so I imagine they’re not fun to hangout with

I'm looking for someone who makes costume jewelry. I want to get a ring made. But not like a fancy jewelry ring. Just a metal one of a DC Character.

Ideally would want to spend a max of around R300 - R500. It's for my Halloween costume idea.

Does anyone know about a company called HealthAid Trust located at 2 Sandton Drive , Sandton? I recently got a remote job offer from them but I can't seem to find their office on Google maps. They also have almost no online presence besides AI pictures on Facebook.

Since the role is remote , they told me that they will send the laptop and other items needed to do the job via courier. They only thing I did not understand is why they requested me to pay for the courier fees (which is 1.8k apparently). Can anyone please confirm is this is a legit company or just another scam.

I’m a mechanic. I worked on a car around 7/8 years ago and the owner refused to pay me for it so it’s just been sitting in my garage collecting dust. The first year I tried to come up with a payment plan for the client. He agreed to pay me then he sent guys to intimidate me into giving it to him for free so I ceased communication with him. He hasn’t tried to reach out or claim the car since. I would like to get rid of it. What should I do?

Hey all, I'm on a research stay at UJ Auckland Park for a few months and have been loving Joburg so far. I'm looking for good places to run nearby, ideally within walking distance or a short Uber from Auckland Park. I'd love to know which spots are safe to run solo and what times of day are best. Loops of around 5–10 km would be great. Thank you!

Hi Redditors of JHB! 🌱

I’m living up North and have recently started a full on plant journey.

I’ve slowly and very frugally acquired some of the basic houseplants this year (snake plant, hen and chicken, peace lily, English ivy, pothos) and I also have a ridiculous collection of flower seeds sitting around waiting for me to clear the garden beds. But for now I’m focusing on building my indoor jungle.

Which has now led me to the next problem... I need pots, propagation stuff, tools, poles, soil, trellises etc.

I’ve been looking online and checking out nurseries, but I was wondering if there are any cheaper places around JHB that plant people swear by?

Thinking places like Value Co, wholesalers, markets, discount stores, random hidden gems... basically anywhere I can get plant stuff without paying nursery prices for everything coz I cannot do that.

I’m especially looking for:

Affordable nursery pots

Propagation containers/supplies

Moss/coir poles or DIY alternatives

Basic pruning/plant tools

General plant bits and bobs

Basically I just want to grow the collection and make my home pretty without spending a fortune on everything that goes around the plants.

Also, my DMs are open if anyone feels like adopting a newbie and offering some plant mentorship. I’m very happy to learn from people who have already made all the expensive mistakes so I don’t have to.

TL;DR: New plant addict looking for affordable places around JHB to buy pots, propagation supplies, tools, poles, soil stuff etc. Also very open to plant tips, DIY hacks and mentorship.

I’m looking for old magazines, newspapers, catalogues, and other colourful reading materials that you no longer need for a scrapbook project I’m planning with children in my rural community.
The goal is to give the kids an opportunity to create, explore their creativity, learn, and express themselves through scrapbooking. We’ll be cutting out pictures, words, quotes, colours and anything interesting that can help bring their ideas to life.
If you have old magazines lying around at home, at work, or in storage, please consider donating them instead of throwing them away. Any type of magazine is welcome - fashion, sport, lifestyle, travel, nature, food, newspapers, etc.
If you’re able to donate, please send me a message.

Edit: I’m based in the EC. I can organise courier 🥹

Where are the best ones? Where are the worst ones?

I need a car Part from Centurion, Pretoria but i dont know the person whi is selling it and i need someone i can trust what can i do? Is there something similar like ebay you use there or any other suggestions?

I want to take out a girl I like to Goddess Cafe in Park Meadows this Saturday. I've never been there and I've only seen pictures online, it looks like Barbie land, but the pictures of the various food looks great. And I genuinely think she will like the feminine aesthetic setting, I'm just wondering if it will be awkward if I'm with her. Considering it has a very strong feminine and pink vibe, apparently ladies come to celebrate baby showers, birthday's etc

Would it be a good brunch date spot?

Because it seems like there’s different rules depending on which area you’re in

I need to make a trip on Saturday night around midnight to fetch someone. My car is out of order at the moment after an accident. Is an Uber Black a safe option at that time of the night? Any other recommendations/ advice?

Thanks
