61 Upvotes

A phone stolen last week was last tracked at the location in these screenshots before going offline. Numerous people have since said their stolen phones also showed their last known location at the same spot.

Could stolen phones be taken here to be wiped or resold? These reports deserve a proper investigation by SAPS.

Has anyone else traced their stolen phone to this location? Please report any matching information to SAPS. Donโ€™t attempt to confront anyone there.

Recommendation Any recommendations for groups/subreddits to sell household items on in Durban area?

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone, my parents are currently clearing out their house and want to get rid of some furniture and other items. Is there any groups we can advertise on, they have put their stuff on market place, but we all know how it goes there. "Is this still available" and when you answer. Silence. So I wanted to know if there is maybe other groups or subreddits we can try that you guys know of. Any recommendations would be appreciated. ๐ŸŒป๐Ÿฅณ

Recommendation How To Attract Investors For A Gym?

0 Upvotes

Hey, so i have a concept to open a more affordable gym in Kloof but i was wondering how to attract an investor to actually help set up the gym. Taking from my experience as a Fitness Instructor & Personal Trainer and adding in influences and attention to detail at past gyms i worked at, I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction in how to go about it? I have no idea how to actually do this

Married couple

14 Upvotes

Hey everyone! ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿฝ

My wife (F25) and I (M24), a young Black couple, are looking to meet other young couples around Durban and hopefully make some genuine friendships.

Most people around us aren't in serious relationships yet, or we just haven't found many people who share our vibe ๐Ÿ˜…

We're keen on braais, outings, trying new places, hiking, weekend getaways and just enjoying life with other couples.

We know meeting people online can be a little awkward ๐Ÿ˜‚, so if anyone can recommend hiking clubs, social groups or activities around Durban where we could meet people, we'd really appreciate it!

Feel free to reach out if you're in the same boat. ๐Ÿ˜Š

I legitimately don't understand how they can be surprised by the low turnout.

There's a big cost of living crisis. Fuel is insanely expensive. We've got immigration protests happening not far away.

But sure, it's a mystery people aren't turning out to watch cricket in the week.

Looking for friends to talk kak and potentially hangout w

1 Upvotes

​

I saw a few posts like this on here so i thought i could maybe give this a shot and find community in my city.

Im M21 and looking for potential friends that could have either the same or totally different hobbies or tastes it dont matter. People say that i am the funny friend once I get comfortable so if the vibes match you would be in for some laughs ,TRUST.

I love to sing and basically love all things music. I also am serious about fitness as well as cooking (havent done it in a while but when i need to i throw down!!) I like art but whether i can draw or paint is up for debate. Not a very competitive gamer coz i game solo most of the time but if you can recommend any mobile game we can play together id be down.

Oh and gender and sexuality doesnt really matter as long as youre chill, funny and can hold a conversation about anything. Tell me your interests, tell me whats on your mind randomly or not. I prefer friends that are my age or a few years older.

Dm me and hopefully we can chat/ hangout in future

Booking Learners while Working

5 Upvotes

howzit choms !! hope you're all having a great week.

so i'm starting a new job next week where i'm working US hours. my work day ends super late so being a non-driver is fucking me over proper.

i want to get my learners as soon as possible so i can, hopefully, start driving in the next 6 months.

my issue is that the last time i tried to book, it was a hectic wait time and i didn't even get to the end of the line before they turned us away. i don't want to take a leave day just for it to be a bust.

on that, i'd need to take 2 days off (one for booking, one for writing) so losing a day would be detrimental for my work reputation, as well as leave allotment.

my work reputation is also a problem i'm stressed about. i'm gonna be a newbie and i'll be on probation for 6 months. i don't want taking leave early on to cause the perception of me being an absent worker. however, i really need a license for the job. i'm planning on trying to find a lift club during my first week since i'm not gonna chance public transport at night.

in saying that, i don't want to rely on lift clubs forever since it's a permanent position and it would be a lot more lucrative to have a license.

any advice would be greatly appreciated !! thanks so much in advance<3

Robbed at Pedros on Florida Road in broad daylight , please be aware

191 Upvotes

On Thursday, 8 October, at around 10:45am, my Samsung S26 Ultra was stolen from my pocket while I was in Pedros on Florida Road. I had just bought Yogi Berry and a soft serve.

I chased the man and caught up with him as he got into a moving getaway car with three other men. During the struggle, I was hit on the back of my head with a hard object and dragged approximately 10 metres. I was left injured and bruised.

The attached map shows a location reported for my phone afterwards in Durban CBD. It is separate from where the robbery happened, and I cannot confirm who has the phone or which premises it is inside.

Iโ€™m sharing this because it happened in broad daylight while I was simply buying something for a staff member. Please be alert around entrances, courtyards and parked vehicles.

Has anyone else experienced something similar around Florida Road? If you witnessed this incident or have relevant information, please message me privately.
