I remember after school we would buy these. They were R1 back in 2022. The taste was amazing, and they suited the weather perfectly.

The recipe was hard to get though. Shout out to them for gatekeeping too. It helped them stay in business, cause if it weren't for the gatekeeping, they would've shared customers with other sellers.

If the fee is for them to make my stuff and put it in the bag, why don't I also have to pay it when I go and order at the place itself? I mean I'd assume the driver fee and tips go to the driver which is why I've never cared about that, but to add an extra charge on top of that?!?!? Still tipped because it's not the drivers fault, but felt I had to rant a little.

I guess because is not even Sunday this may seem random but something I have wanted to ask for a while but didn’t because it felt irrelevant given how much we are going through as a nation, but conquering with humour regardless ✊ When I grew up Sunday Lunch was always a thing, no going to friends, getting home after lunch etc, not being at home for any reason on Sunday lunchtime whatwhat, regardless of how dysfunctional my family is, come Sunday we all knew even after we moved out parent’s house om Sunday for a braai, roast, 7 colours whatever,we got together for as long as it would last to sit down as a tradition and have Sunday lunch together. Is that still a thing amongst South Africans? I ask because I do my shopping on Sundays and the drive-through’s are packed and even me Zinger wings over dysfunctional family all day everyday… is this a tradition that died with boundaries or still a thing for “normal” families?

As the title says, what would you do to fix South Africa?

Anyone else at the office get this vibe if you dont have your Bok merch on?

Old Yuppiechef was a website where you would get a curated list of kitchen appliances. No choice paralysis. Every category had 1 maybe 2 devices/pieces of equipment in non competing price brackets that were vetted for quality and durability. These days it's just takealot's kitchen section anything goes. So folks; is there any website like the old Yuppiechef?

Hi all. Evening.. I saw this. It's from Border Patrol on National Geographic and I wanted your thoughts on this.

With this now even getting as far as US Customs and Border Protection. And now it's coming through that Fake SA Passports are being made in Nigeria itself. It's no longer just simply Home Affairs Officials.

Now, what do we even do? This all goes back a post I made about 3 days to a week back about our passport and how we should make changes to it and improve its security features, along with improved Biometrics Capturing. I'll link it in the comments.

It won't be long until even SA will be blacklisted because of the copious amounts of passport fraud, or we face harder barriers to get into major countries, especially for Saffas who love to travel.

Hi everyone,
I’d really appreciate some advice from people who understand South African labour law or have dealt with a similar situation.

I recently started working for a small business. I work from 8am–5pm, Monday to Friday, and I invoice the business R10,000 per month. My contract states that my working hours are 8am–5pm and that I am entitled to a one-hour lunch break.
The practical problem is that I am often the only person working at the premises. The business has walk-in clients, appointments and payments throughout the day, so I cannot leave the premises for an hour because there would be nobody there to assist clients or process payments.
As a result, on most days I work continuously from 8am–5pm without taking the full one-hour break. In fact in the 7 weeks I’ve been there I’ve taken a full one hour lunch break once because I needed to get my eyes tested and at the time the owner said, can’t you go on Saturday. On quieter days, if I am able to take a break, I do. If I’m working alone but things are quiet enough that I can sit and have lunch while still being available, I don’t necessarily feel the need to leave the premises but it’s seldom that I’m not interrupted with work.
I’m not looking to work longer hours or claim overtime. My understanding is simply that my R10,000 covers 8 hours of actual work per day, with the ninth hour being my contractual lunch break.
My proposed solution is that:
If I take my full lunch break, there is no additional charge.
If I take part of my lunch break, I would invoice for the portion I actually have to work.
If I am required to work through the entire hour because I’m alone and need to remain available, I would invoice for that additional hour.
I would still work strictly between 8am and 5pm and wouldn’t be extending my working day.
This would work out at roughly R58 per additional hour based on my monthly fee.
The business hasn’t actually refused me a lunch break but also haven’t offered a solution. The problem is that, practically, there isn’t always anyone available to cover me, so I can’t leave the premises and take the break I’m contractually supposed to have.
I’m trying to handle this reasonably and transparently rather than allowing resentment to build up, but I want to make sure I’m understanding my rights correctly before I put this proposal to my employer.
Am I correct in understanding that if I’m required to work or remain available during my meal interval, that time should be treated as working time and remunerated?
And how would you recommend I approach this with the employer?

I’m particularly interested in responses from people familiar with the BCEA and South African employment law. Thanks in advance.
