Hi South Africans! I have received an invitation to volunteer as a teacher for an NGO based in Bellville South/ Glenhaven near Cape Town from July till end of September. Would you recommend this area for safety and do you happen to know if there are any accommodations through nomads roommate and/or inter generational housing nearby?

eh touch and go, hard to say, wouldn't be my first choice

Update : the NGO is based near Observatory Station so it seems less dangerous. Let me know if there are any peculiarities to this area I should learn about before committing to go there.

Just be strategic with where you stay, look for access controlled apartment blocks

Hi, I checked on Meetup and Facebook but didn't find many events or group activity suggestions in Cape Town. Do you know if there are any WhatsApp groups for Meetup? Or do you have any tips?

Has anyone shipped a suitcase from South Africa to EU? I want to send a full suitcase to Ireland but some quick search lead to super high quotes. Around R6500 / €350 😱

Hey folks, going to be in Capetown from November until February.
First time, looking for a place to stay right now. Anyone have any tips on where to look?

Looking for a 2BR place somewhere around Greenpoint, Seapoint, CBD, Woodstock etc. Is 36000R reasonable as a budget for a nice place with a bit of room and views?

beyers 4d

I would say around R20'000 would be more sensible but the Airbnb prices have really skyrocketed

beyers 4d

No views in Woodstock or Observatory.
You can try Vredehoek or Bloubergstrand
