I do not live in Cape Town, but elsewhere in the Western Cape. I grew up here and have stayed here most of my life, but not the last number of years. Anyway, I am visiting CT at the moment, and it seems that the traffic laws changed. For me a red light at the robot means stop, that's what I do - however I saw other motorists cruise through red lights on multiple occasions, and clearly not interpreting it as a need to stop. What changed?

Hi Everyone, First time posting here. I really just need some advice on what to do. I “sold” a camera to a guy on Facebook marketplace. Long story short I’ve gotten scammed. He basically forged an immediate pay document and standard bank service texts. I’m going to go file a police report today as I thought he was still going to send the money as he said he was working everything out with his bank. The information I have is I actually have his linkdin account (with the place I’m very sure he works at) as well as his ID number and a photo of it he sent as verification( this is one of the reasons I thought I could trust him) I know it was very stupid on my part but in the moment it was quite stressful and wasn’t thinking clearly and I’ve definitely learnt my lesson but I just need advice on how I can get justice so that he doesn’t do it to anyone else and hopefully(not likely) get my money or camera back. Thank you in advance.

Hello,

Tourist here. We are coming to capetown for our honeymoon! Very excited, and have almost planned everything out… but I can’t seem to find where to buy the rugby tickets for Stormers vs Leinster at the DHL stadium.

I checked the team website, only sells season tickets, Ticketmaster links you back to the team, and the DHL stadium says tickets coming soon.

But it’s now less than a month away, and I’m stressing as my husband to be is a big rugby fan (mostly springbok, but they are playing in Durban while we are in SA sadly).

Could someone point out where to get the tickets? Or when they become for sale? Or any tips?

Just a show of appreciation for spring and what looks like the end of our cold, cloudy winter 😆😆

My friend shared this photo of a rock on Lion's Head and in the spirit of all things literal in CT named it "Rectangle Rock". Any other suggestions Reddit?

Awe to my fellow Capitec people.

I want to know if any of you know the easiest and fastest way (being the least amount of waiting) to get an ID card in Capetown ? ( still have the book)

Yes there is the online booking system, which does not allow Capitec for some reason?
(it keeps refusing the booking because i haven't payed but also refuses to let me pay)

So i don't know if anyone knows maybe a quite home affairs or some special cheat code to getting it done easy

I am so overwhelmed lately that I feel like I cannot breathe, is there somewhere I can go for a few hours thats nice, open, airy and not super likely that I'll get attacked?

Played at two different soccer clubs in my life, both had a very toxic culture and were quite an unpleasant experience. I was wondering if there were maybe any footy clubs in the cape that: A) don't have a culture of bullying, whining and exclusion B) don't expect a player to be top and are fine with casual players. C) have a culture of fun and good spirit D) don't have to be drinking buddies or "politically connected" with staff to get game time

Hi All, I have recently relocated to the northern suburbs and as such need to find a new GP for the wife and I, please provide some recommendations.

Even better if medication is included with consultation.

Thanks in advance

I’ve noticed when I go to certain malls more likely than not, a random person or group will ask me to take a picture with them. Has this happened to anyone else? Why does this happen??

Can anyone recommend a place that services Volvos in the southern suburbs? I know the places like Revolve and Swedespeed, but it’s tough getting there and back. I don’t mean exclusively services Volvo either. Just spoken to a couple places locally that are hesitant to service them. Hoping there’s someone closer to home that does a good job.

Hi, everyone. I am a self-labelled PNA freak. I've been to so many PNAs I can't even count them. I know they're having their 20% sale up until today and I wouldn't mind taking a long drive if there's one I've not tried with a lot of supplies. The thing I like most are the Gifted Stationery artist stationery (notecards, to do lists, etc with Van Gogh, Klimt and most importantly William Morris). Stellenbosch PNA used to stock an amazing range including the tearout gift wrap books which I haven't been able to find for ages. PNA Rondebosch usually has a fair selection but there was nothing I wanted when I was there om Friday.

Does anyone know of any stores that are either very big or are very well stocked on Gifted stationery, especially the artists? I'm in the Southern Suburbs but don't mind a bit of a road trip.

And generally what are any amazing non-PNA craft stores that are fun? I love the shop in the Plumstead Checkers which is the same company as the stationery shop in Chinatown Ottery. But are there any others which are great? I love wax stamps, interesting washi tape or stickers, craft punches, etc.

Thanks!

Hi Everyone , what are your experiences or non experiences with a CID in your area ? Is it worth the extra cost ?

Hi all,

Does anyone know where to find a travel guide who can help guide a party of 13 through specific wine farms that we'd like to go?

I'd like to arrange the hotels, wine farm visits, and table mountain dates. Just looking for a travel guide who can help explain some of the history when going to each of these places.

Thanks

It is not every day that international metal bands come to Cape Town, so there was much excitement! The excitement was well deserved as NVLO's performance was epic.

Local legends including Megalodon, Halvar, and We Kill Cowboys are performed.

It happened at District in Zonnebloem.

I will be in CTN for a few days this week. Looking for safe hangout spots or coffee shops. Preferably lesbian friendly

Looking to possibly buy an apartment in Villa Italia in century City. Compared to other developments in CC it generally has better asking prices (maybe slightly higher levies though)

For me, the facilities are super important. I am a regular swimmer so having an indoor fitness pool is a major win. Regarding traffic and getting to the office, suits me as well

What I’m finding difficult to find info on is body corporate management and general ownership experience in VA

I have just heard so much about damp and mold problems, do any others living there experience this ?

Where can I get the best value for R400 for a meal excluding drinks

Hi all. Coming down to Cape Town for New Years Eve at the start of a 2 week trip doing the Garden Route. Looking for activty and restaursnt ideas for NYE. We already have La Colombe booked for lunch so looking for somewhere more casual, vibey, and fun to celebrate and party.

We're in our early 30s, love food and drink, will party but not all night long and prefer cheesy music / karaoke / live bands, to more intense vibes.

Any suggestions welcome! I saw there was some NYE festival but that it has potential unsavoury links to gangs? Thanks in advance

I'm speechless as to the kind of things I've been seeing on the road and it's not just the taxis anymore. On a daily basis I see people skipping stop streets, running red lights, pushing in over straight lines into lanes, aggressive tailgating, blocking lanes and not waiting your turn at a circle. Heaven help you if you attempt on calling someone out on their errors because then you get the "aggressive glare" or your life is suddently at risk

Have folks just become suddenly psychotic in the last few years?, was it the jabs?, the lockdowns?, something else? Because this can't be normal whats happening on our roads, it feels like I'm in a f*** mad max movie

Unique request, but I need a place where i can go camp alone for 3 days with only water, elctrolytes and my books. I need a mental cleanse after my dad committed suicide. I am an experienced hiker and camper, i just need a cleanse without internet or phones. I have done this kind of excursion (different circumstances obviously) before after a breakup and helped me a lot. Do you have any suggestions? I do not mind paying R500-R700 a day for a spot with no toilet, i just want to be alone, I have my tent and light. I will bag my poop if I get a poop in that time and take it home, no need to dig. I just want absolute solitude with nature. My only requirement is that it should have a mountain view. It also needs to able to be reached by a small SUV, Thanks in advance!

Today marks the final day of the 2025 Homeless World Cup in Oslo, Norway, and while the dream of lifting the cup has passed, the South African team is preparing for one last historic performance. They will take to the pitch for the bronze medal playoff, aiming to secure a podium finish.

This incredible journey has been defined by their resilience, skill, and unwavering spirit, captivating fans from all over the world.

Hi everyone so this is going to sound a bit strange but really hoping someone can help me. I'm an artist and I absolutely love experimenting and trying out new mediums. I'm looking for a tattoo artist that will let me try out there machine on some fake skin for 30min- 1 hour. With a tiny bit of advice on how to use the machine so I don't cause any damage or problems with your equipment. I'm of course willing to drive to you and pay for your time and any materials used. Thanks in advance

She didn't even check to see if there was no cars coming, just went for it
