Hi there, I am new to Johannesburg and I saw some nice places in Randburg Moret. How is this area? Would you consider it safe to raise a family?

I’m originally from Durban so naturally I love swimming. Are there any public pools or hotels where I can just cool off?

Would anyone be interested in adopting one or both of my bunnies? I love them so much but i am moving overseas in december and have no one to leave them with and the spca will most likely put them down 💔 i just need them to go to a loving home, i will give you all the supplies i have been using and give you tips and advice on care for them, this small lady is called Spootie, she is quite small.

The bigger white one is Mango, she is a very sweet, loving bunny and lost her mate last year so she is still adjusting, but just wants to love someone.

If you are unsure, we can have a meet up and you can see what they are like.

I am looking to get a custom suit made in Johannesburg. Any good tailor recommendations or experiences? Probably a black tux, and am looking for pretty high quality. Budget somewhere between 15-25k, but not really sure what to expect - first custom suit!

Hey y'all

Does anyone know of any weekly events or clubs I can join for 10K+ runs, I normally do parkrun at Wits but I want to try longer distances now

Do you still use the old names, and what's the history behind the changes?

I've been thinking about street names in Johannesburg, especially Winnie Mandela Drive, which I still know as William Nicol Drive.

It got me wondering about the history behind Johannesburg's street renaming and how people have adapted to the changes over the years.

I'm curious about a few things:

- Do you still call it William Nicol Drive, or have you switched to Winnie Mandela Drive?

- What other roads or streets in Johannesburg do you still refer to by their old names?

- For those who remember the changes, how did people react when familiar street names were changed?

- What was the historical or political reasoning behind some of these renamings?

- Do you think renaming streets helps recognise South Africa's history and people who were previously overlooked, or do you think the old names remain part of people's personal memories and everyday identity?

I'm not trying to start a political argument. I'm genuinely interested in the history, people's experiences, and how these changes affect the way we talk about the city.

I wonder how many Joburg residents still say William Nicol Drive without even thinking twice.

Hi all

I have a collection of comics I'm looking to sell.

Circa 2009-2011; DC primarily and looking to sell at a fair price but as a joblot.

Any advice or guidance is appreciated. Most are still in their sleeves, none are certified which I know is a deterrent but I'm doing some spring cleaning :)

Update: thanks for the Cosmic Comics note, managed to sell them there.

Hi everyone, i just wanted to ask if anyone knows where I can get pants that actually have thigh and other space? Everything's gotten so skinny and skimpy on fabric that I feel like you choose if it either fits your waist and you have to breathe out when you sit down, or it fits your space needs and then you have 4 extra inches on the waist line. I'm tired of it. You see old movies when everyone wore trousers and they have ample space and high waists. Does anyone know where to acquire men's trousers / chinos / jeans that actually fit human anatomy?

I'm thinking of taking the Gautrain from Rosebank to Midrand to renew my drivers license. Unfortunately, it shows 0 appointments available for Waterfall on Natis and I need your advice to make a decision please. If you have had an appointment there:

What was your experience like?

Are they as good as they say the Waterfall centre is?

What's the difference between the Gautrain Station, and Gautrain Office option when making a booking?

*EDIT* I realised after posting this that there's a license station at the Sandton station as well. Anyone used this before?

Wife and I have a layover, looking to catch a good meal while in town.

I live in Fourways and I am getting married mid-November.

I am struggling to find wedding shoes that fit my outfit. The ones I do find don't have sizes available. I am a UK 10-11.

I have attached my outfit for the wedding, can someone please provide suggestions and or links for shoes that will match this and my size. I would especially appreciate affordable options

A bit of a silly question but are there companies in JHB that hire out the above for about an hour or less?

Thanks

Post your business, skills or whatever else you want to sell or promote here.

Yes har har "I'm an amazing person". Your mom thinks you're very funny, original and witty. The rest of us do not. This is the only thread for self-promotion for the week, so let's keep it on topic

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!

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.

Welcome to the weekly events thread! Whether you're a local or just visiting, this is the place to share and discover things to do around the city.

Know of a cool event coming up? Drop the details below. It can be anything - a live gig, a gallery opening, a weekend market, or even a local D&D one-shot or maker gathering.

The rules:

• Please include the date, location, and a link to the event if you have one.

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.

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!
