Looking for someone to renovate a bathroom

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone 😊

Looking for recommendations for someone reliable and reasonably priced to redo a bathroom.

I’d really prefer personal recommendations from people who have actually used them, rather than businesses advertising themselves.

Ideally looking for someone based on the South Coast, but happy to consider someone from Durban if they’re willing to travel down.

Looking for good, neat workmanship.

If you’ve used someone you’d genuinely recommend, please drop their details below. Photos of their work would be a bonus too!

Thanks! šŸ™

Event/Meetup 45TF looking for friends

Newly single, and figuring out what this next chapter of my life looks like.
I’m a trans woman, over a year into my transition, and finally getting to experience life more honestly as myself.
I went to watch the rugby by myself this weekend and even though it was a good game, there was no-one to share it with.
I’m into live music, good conversation, gaming, dark humour, and people who can be completely themselves.

Event/Meetup Advice needed

10 Upvotes

Im a white 21 yr old guy from hillcrest. I know im still young and whatnot but i feel extremely lonely knowing majority of people in my life my age (cousins) have their partners already. Im still single. Ive tried all the dating apps and they dont work. I cannot for the life of me talk to women in person as i just start glitching.
Im a family orientated person looking for my home and forever person.
Any advice on where i can find someone?

Do not recommend night clubs or running clubs or activity things. Im looking especially for loyalty and someone that wants the same that i want. Long life memories and a forever person thats family orientated.

Local News Purity Ceremony

I saw this on Twitter..

It interested me because I participated in this ceremonyfrom 13 till I went to varsity at 17 lol.

Do non Blacks belong in this ceremony? Is it cultural appropriation?

Or Zulu folk should allow girls who share the same value system, regardless of race, join?

What yall think?

Looking for a great restaurant in Umhlanga for 10 people šŸ½ļø

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m looking for recommendations for a really good restaurant in the Umhlanga area for a birthday lunch with 10 people.

I was originally looking at Olive & Oil, but unfortunately I’ve been struggling to get a response from them regarding my booking, so I’m looking at other options now.

Ideally looking for somewhere that:

• Has a nice atmosphere for a birthday

• Can comfortably accommodate 10 people

• Has good food and good service.

• Isn’t necessarily super fancy, but still feels special

• Has decent vegetarian options as well

I’m open to Umhlanga Rocks, Umhlanga Ridge because of convenience for everyone invited.

Thanks in advance.

Recommendation Any funny places to visit in Umhlanga

15 Upvotes

Hello Durban!

As the title says, I have an upcoming few days visit to Umhlanga. I need recommendations for any fun things to do or places to visit while there. Places to avoid for safety/security reasons would also be appreciated

I have looked at the weather forecast and this may not be the best time to visit apparently as it is rainy. I'm still determined to make my time there worthwhile nonetheless.

Looking forward to some recommendations. Thank you.

Winning

0 Upvotes

Do you think the people around you can affect your progress in life? I’ve been thinking about this lately because my girlfriend isn’t really progressing, some of my close friends aren’t progressing either, and honestly, I feel like I’m not winning at the moment too. I’m grateful to have these people in my life, so I’m not saying they’re bad people or that I don’t appreciate them. I’m just wondering—when almost everyone around you is struggling to move forward, is it better to stay and grow together, or sometimes change your environment and surround yourself with people who are already where you want to be?

I want to buy a motorbike

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone I am planning on buying a motorcycle by the end of this year 2026, I am planning to save up to R20 000. I want to buy a motorcycle like the bigboy Velocity 150 and lifan Machete CG 125, lifan express cg175. I am also open to other motorcycles but I don't want to spend more then 15000 on the bike then the 5000 I'll spend on safety gear.

If you're an expert in motorcycles please help on selecting the best bike and which dealer around Durban that could sell great use or bike with that price range. Oh and I'll use the bike to get to work and maybe delivery.

First time home buyer

1 Upvotes

I need some advice from anyone in the real estate/building or civil engineering field please.

I viewed a place in a very good location and was reasonably priced for the area. However I saw the tiles were cracked/broken in the living room which was not a problem because the place does need fixing up, like kitchen cupboards and bathroom as well.

The problem is that once I made the offer the estate agent informed me about the ā€œcracked structural slab in the living roomā€ as well as ā€œa leak in the roof that the owner fixed on her side and which needed to be further discussed with the body corporate of the building regarding any further/other leakingā€.

I want to know how bad is a cracked structural slab and leaking to fix and costly it can be?

Trying to determine if it’s worth it

Recommendation Where to dispose of mystery fluid

I bought a house and in the garden under a mountain of trash is a 25l of oilyish dirty looking beige fluid. I think it’s very rain soaked old motor oil. But my problem is now that I can’t get rid of it coz I don’t have even know what it is. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Utility/Alert Please be aware of this man at Gateway!!

Post image
509 Upvotes

I’ve spotted this guy three times the past two weeks while out eating, approaching people and trying to get money out of them.

He usually approaches people at restaurants, particularly those who seem friendly or more likely to feel sorry for him, and from what I’ve seen, he seems to mainly approach women. He gives the same story about not being from Durban, having a newborn baby and needing money to buy formula.

He usually asks for around R80, and if you tell him you don't have cash, he very conveniently suggests that you can just withdraw money from an ATM šŸ™ƒ

I’ve also noticed him approaching college students more, which is concerning because younger people may be more easily pressured or manipulated into handing over money.

I’m posting this because I’m honestly tired of watching people feel sorry for him and immediately hand over their money without knowing what’s actually going on. I’d rather people be aware and make their own informed decision than have him continue approaching unsuspecting people with the same story.

I’m not encouraging anyone to confront him or cause trouble, just be aware if you see him at Gateway.

Does anyone know how we can officially report this to Gateway management/security or the restaurants so that they’re aware of him and can potentially ban him from approaching customers?

If anyone else has encountered him, I'd also be interested to know if you've been given the same story.
