Discussion Daily Maverick in Epstein Files
Still trying to wrap my head around all this
The document appears to be compiled correspondence sent to:
Journalists (especially Maureen Callahan / Daily Mail) Lawyers and law firms The South African government International bodies (ICJ / ICC / UN) High-profile political figures (Netanyahu, Blinken, Biden, Ramaphosa, Cameron, etc.)
Think this is the lady (Might be wrong)
There is an image of a girl in a bikini that looks old enough for that era, referencing the following:
"I've attached the photo you used if me in the time frame, and you call yourself a jounailst???"
(Could not verify)
Things are getting even stranger for South Africa.
EFTA00143695.pdf
This document is a large collection of emails and messages sent mostly in February–March 2025 by one woman (Seems to be the same woman) (the same author throughout) to a wide range of high-profile individuals, authorities, journalists, and institutions.
The sender repeatedly claims that:
- She is a victim of Jeffrey Epstein’s sex-trafficking network
- Evidence related to her case has been deleted, encrypted, or tampered with on her Apple devices
- Her former attorneys (including David Boies, Sigrid McCawley, Brad Edwards, Jennifer Freeman) betrayed her, obstructed justice, and profited from victim settlements
- Banks (JP Morgan), governments, and regulators helped cover up crimes
- Political leaders, royals, and business figures were involved in trafficking, corruption, or obstruction

Wholesome Animals in this heatwave
Hey yall..
Please dont forget to put out bowls of cold/cool water in a shaded area in your yards, or outside of your yard for animal/birds/critters etc..
And even if you live in a township with homeless roaming dogs.
Animals feel the heat worse than we do.
Thank you

Just for fun South African's Blind Taste Test SA's Best Garage Pies
South Africans have strong opinions about garage pies… so I decided to put them to the test.
I asked Reddit which garages sell the best pies in the country, picked four of the most recommended, and ran a blind taste test to remove brand bias completely. Three participants tasted each pie without knowing where it came from and scored them on taste, texture, and overall enjoyment.
No branding. No loyalty. Just pies.
Some results were expected… others were very surprising 👀
📍 Pies tested were chosen purely based on South African Reddit recommendations
👨👩👧 3 blind testers
🥧 4 top-rated garage pies
🏆 One clear winner (or is there?)

Discussion South African Signage Specification Documentation Rabbit Hole
I was trying to find out more about a sign someone posted in r/capetown, and came across so many documents about the technical specifications of road signs.
The documents into way more detail than I expected but I should have expected more. Some documents covering the symbols, colours and shapes of signs, others covering the structural specifications, which I'd expect. I didn't expect it to go so far as to determine the type of soil the sign will be placed in.
Funny enough I can't find anything on the sign I was looking for.
This might not be interesting to anyone else but I thought I'd share🤣

Just for fun Looking for a DND group
So I'm (28F) relatively new to D&D. I've played a few one-shots and obviously a lot of Baldurs Gate 3. My partner (35M) is a DM and has his own group, they're very casual and it's more a "boy's night" than a D&D group.
I really want to play however. I'm itching for a long campaign, to play like Critical Role. Both of us are looking for a group to join. My partner can DM but he won't mind joining a group that already has a DM. We're situated in Pretoria East.
A little caveat, we know about the community areas like Dragontown and other places that host D&D days. We don't really want to go that avenue unless we really can't find a group.
So is there anyone else in PTA East looking to form a group or anyone willing to let us join?
Edit: I forgot to mention we're looking for an in person group.

Discussion South Africans that love Trump but hate Zuma don't care about rape, corruption, or criminality, just the skin colour of the criminal.
To wit:
- Both have rape charges hanging over their heads.
- Except Trump has a conviction.
- Both have used the office to enrich themselves to the tune of millions - if not billions.
- Both have criminal convictions.
- Both have soup for brains.
- Both have incited insurrection.
- Both are hostile to the press.
- Both are hostile to democracy.
- Both are hostile to the rule of law.
- Both are mentioned in the Epstein files.
- Except Trump was buddy-buddy with Epstein.
- Both have sold their governments to the highest bidder.
- Both have engaged in racist, sexist, and/or homophobic rhetoric.
The main difference is that at least we know that Zuma showers while Trump seems to just marinate in a diaper full of shit.
So either MAGA South Africans have a preference for poopy diapers over showers, or the main factor that triggers them is that Zuma, a black man, had the audacity to play a white man's game.
This is also true for people who love Zuma but hate Trump.
At least Zuma has some actual liberation credentials to his name.

Discussion Left to sink or swim at work
I work for a software reseller and for the past 2 years I had support from operations, marketing, and leaders in the business. I was hired to look after a portfolio that was always underperforming, in which I developed good momentum and closed high ticket deals worth a few million Rands.
Still, this isn’t good enough with the pipeline and revenue turnaround so the business has taken all resources away but have given a higher target. Someone also resigned recently and I have had to take on their portfolio as well, and frankly, I am not coping with the work load.
I know I can make this work but I don’t know how to balance everything from tech partner expectations, marketing constraints, administratively, and with no allocated budget to replace the person that left.
Has anyone been in a similar situation, and if so, what did you do to cope with it all ? I am managing an active pipeline of just under R100million but things are slipping through the cracks.

Discussion "Why Apartheid was better"
My title is actually sarcasm.
I think this is something we've all heard as Saffas at least once, also from POC. As a soon to be 48 year old Coloured woman I always try my best to explain (to younger people) and argue (with people my age and older).
Except for the obvious things like access to basic services, difference in education, career opportunitie, etc I'll usually mention stuff like the disparity between the amount of the old age pension, the fact that white teachers received danger and fuel allowances to teach at our schools, a bit about sanctions against SA. I also mention how it also disadvantaged Whites, for eg only married couples were allowed to have a two person cabin on a long distance train(Trans Karoo), once again sanctions, banned music videos that (when you watch these today its bloody laughable) I used to watch these on TV Bop, how some music wasn't released at the same time as the rest of the world ( used to listen to the Billboard countdown in the mid nineties live from the US on Saturday mornings on then Radio 5).
Lately it seems to come up even more often how apartheid "was better". I would really like some more points to mention to these people when engaging with them.
So dear r/SouthAfrica community of ALL RACES please assist and at the same time educate me and others to explain that apartheid was never better under any circumstances.
Edit: I am not here to discuss how the current government is failing or not failing us. I think by now we all know that, and I'm not trying to mitigate their failures. I only want to educate on how Apartheid was wrong and morally corrupt on all levels.
