It’s just insane when you realise that a lot of children were victims of extreme police brutality during apartheid. I mean taking the kids to Sun City? Yoh💔

Very interesting read if you have the time!

For those of you who work at companies that are closed on weekends, what do you do for a living?

I’ve worked in quite a few different industries, but I’ve never had a job where the company closes on weekends and everyone gets Saturdays and Sundays off.

Honestly, it pains me having to work weekends when the rest of my family is off. I miss out on spending time with them, and I’d really love to find a job where I can enjoy my weekends with my family for a change.

For those of you who have these jobs, do you find it makes a big difference to your work-life balance?

Sorry about the music, my intrusive thoughts won as I'm super excited for GTA VI

Black South Africans, what do you think we as citizens should do, and what should our government be doing to ensure there are more jobs and businesses to sufficiently grow the economy?

Where are the fault lines? Why is there still so much inequality and how can SA become the first African first world country?

Hey everyone!

So, given the rise in fuel costs, and just generally how expensive it is going out nowadays😭 What are some things you do at home with your significant other? Aside from simply watching movies. Are there any creative games you guys may have made or hobbies you may have taken up that you do from the comfort of your home?

Thanks! :)

Hey everyone, so I just want to get some advice and perspective from people here before I actually go and seek legal help.

I started a commission job a couple months ago and I was under the impression I’d be receiving a stipend for ~1 year but they explained things very weirdly and vaguely and essentially I’m only getting paid for a month and then I’ll be fully on commission. Which fucks me because I have not ramped up yet to be able to support myself on commission only. Even when I received my first payment, it was 2 weeks late (which was not specified in the contract). After reviewing my contract it does say I’ll only be paid for 1 month but there’s a whole bunch of stuff which is just not making sense to me comparing the interview and the actual job.

- I asked: “what are my working hours like, when would I have to be in the office?”. To which they said there aren’t necessarily working hours. Now in practice, I have to be in the office Monday, Friday, and Wednesday. I have to be there for required meetings, company functions, and some days be there even when I don’t need to be. None of this is stipulated in the contract btw.
- my contract also says that I am not allowed to contact the CCMA (because I’m an independent contractor) and if I do I have to pay penalties/damages
- There’s also a HUGE penalty for termination of the contract. If I leave or they fire me I have to pay training costs (which decrease after the second year then increase in the third year even though my main training is done within the first 8 weeks??)
- they subsidise medical aid, give corporate benefits, but there’s no UIF/provident fund until after two years of working there
- I’m in the office more than anything really, for e.g I worked like 40 hours last week.

So. Is this a sham contract and am I getting exploited, or am I cooked?

I need Suleiman Carrim's doctor to step forward, IMMEDIATELY! Not for the reason you think but because he is truly a way maker, miracle worker, promise keeper.

I mean Suleiman is more than a decade older than me AND at death's door but he looks better than I do. Not a workout or pamper day missed. Please get in touch with me. Also, what medical aid should I get? Is it Discovery's Classic Comprehensive or is it DOH (let's not ask if it's state-funded), I am a dot-connector.

Anyway, Suleiman, and all these other people, if you had just shared the money with us - we would have hidden you but unfortunately you gave unsecured loans to someone who already had.

That's a lot of money to piss away on 12 beneficiaries. But had you given this to one commercial farmer there would be jobs and chickens.

Now there is just a looted project.

First time I am seeing one, and it took me back to gran turismo 3.

I dont want the scissors, peeler and cutting board. I already have a good ones.

But this set is fantastic

Dont be jelly :D 😀
