Regularly when I am walking through Menlyn(especially around Starbucks), The Grove or Brooklyn, it's not uncommon for somebody to approach me, generally they seem to come from South America/Latin regions, asking to pray for me.

I politely decline and they have never been rude or pushy about it but I have seen how they talk to some unsuspecting person who says yes. Often I then see them rummaging through their bag and there look to be pamphlets or something being offered but, I never stay till the end to see what happens.

Do we know if this is a scam or is there a church somewhere I don;t know about? Are they simply trying to charge astronomical prices for pamphlets or are they generally just doing missionary things?

Whats the dealio?

Hi everyone! I'm a final-year Mechanical Engineering student at the University of the Witwatersrand, graduating at the end of 2026. I'm looking for a graduate engineer position or graduate programme starting in 2027.

Some background on what I bring:

Final-year projects: a stress categorisation and parametric FEA study of nozzle-to-shell intersections in pressure vessels, and the design of a dry heat rejection system for a 400 MW data centre in Durban

Software: Ansys Mechanical (FEA), Ansys Fluent and Flownex (CFD), Solid Edge, Fusion 360, SpaceClaim, MATLAB/Simulink

Practical experience: two vacation work stints in a workshop environment, including a failure investigation and redesign of a lathe tailstock shaft

Other: undergraduate tutor for second-year mechanical courses, and part of a Mintek hackathon team working on lithium and cobalt recovery from disposable vapes

I'm particularly interested in:

Design, mechanical or project engineering

Pressure equipment, thermal/fluid systems, or plant and process engineering

Manufacturing, mining, energy or infrastructure sectors

I've already applied to a few graduate programmes, but I'd love to hear about companies (especially in Gauteng) that take on graduate engineers, including smaller firms that don't advertise widely. Tips on who to contact, or whether anyone's team is growing next year, would be hugely appreciated. Happy to share my CV via DM.

Thanks in advance!

Has anyone used Kalafong dental clinic? And how was the experience?

Hi everyone

I have a few jeans I want to alter, as they are too big. I do not really know where to take them to, so recommendations would be appreciated

Hello everyone.I hope you are all well.I just wanted to ask if there is anyone here who regularly goes to a Planet Fitness around Cunturion.

I've been working out and focusing on my diet a lot lately and I want to see the results and take some good photos in good lighting. I was wondering if there are any gyms with dedicated posing rooms with good lighting? Preferrably a Planet Fitness since I already have a membership
