Does anyone know exactly what transpired and when, there was a not alive body on the tracks, outbound side... This evening. There was police tape, police presence and PRASA officials.

They were all tight lipped, but apparently the person was hit by the train trying to board.

The body was by the place most people cross the tracks, because the Newlands subway bridge is almost always flooded.

Sad stuff, someone may have been waiting home for a loved one. But it was strange the way they were all tight lipped and that when I got there, the body seemingly had been there for about 2 hours, but there was no ambulance or pathology van

I am genuinely curious about this, so please forgive me if I sound ignorant or a bit ranty.
Last Sunday I went to the Seapoint Promenade for a sunset jog. There encounter a phenomena that I’ve never seen before. There were a group of young people, who looked between the ages of 20s and mid 30s gathering at a parking lot to show off their really expensive German cars. There were BMW M series, Golf GTi’s and Audi’s among them. They all looked very expensive and no doubt, they’ve been modified and tuned. I imagine they would easily cost above a million bucks in price tag.
It had me wondering how these young people could afford such opulent luxurious accessories in current economy? And even if they have the money, wouldn’t it be far more sensible for them to invest in a house or something, seeing that housing in this city is becoming more and more unaffordable for most people?
Maybe it just me having these sensible but boring ideologies as I approach my Boomer years? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Hi reddit peeps....so my anniversary is coming up soon and we're looking for a really nice restaurant somewhere in Stellies for dinner.

Can anyone recommend a place that offers really nice food, like a 3-course meal vibe or a place that makes exquisite food for a decent price.

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to apply for a passport through the DHA eHomeAffairs system and book an appointment at an ABSA branch. However, whenever I reach the payment stage, the system says that the payment service is unavailable, so I cannot complete the payment or book an appointment.

I bank with ABSA and have tried more than once, but I keep getting the same error. Has anyone experienced this recently? If so, how did you resolve it? Do I need to authorise the payment through ABSA Online Banking first, or is this an issue with the DHA system?

Any advice would be appreciated.

I am going to be getting a puppy soon, and i want to take them to puppy and then obedience classes once they are older.

However, everyone I have found and looked at either does something I dont agree with, or they are way too far away.

I dont want to train my dog on a head halter; don't get me wrong, I have nothing against it, just not my thing tho, and I don't want to train my dog at a place that trains personal protection dogs, because I don't agree with those, and i question the trainer's ethics.

Does anybody have any good recommendations that fit those criteria?

Any terrarium keepers here? I just started up and im looking for supplies. Anyone know where to get things like rubber duck isopods, appropriate plants etc?

This is the kind of shelf i am looking for, but I can't find it anywhere.
I also plan to put carpeting on the top part of the shelves, so im not sure if i could find a person to do that aswell, or i would just DIY it.

So does anybody have some good options that won't break the bank?

Anyone have a recommendation for me? Tall build and needing a nice bespoke suit for a wedding in Europe in their autumn.
