For me, its Bobotie. Especially the more authentic it is. Chuck that stuff in the bin.
Edit: some of you are admitting to hating braai and vors. It was nice knowing you. They are coming for you😅🤣
I’ll go first, going on holiday - if the roof is made from thatch. That smell of thatch just smells so South African.
What are some signs that a south African person has become successful or has "made it" in life
Want to get out of my normal go to. Please share your best music by south african artists or producers
So ughh... yeah.
South African War now is actually comparable to Vietnam war but also some other stuff from the game:
1.Divine Mandate of Siberia didn't appear. At all. This meant that Yagoda couldn't reunify eastern Siberia, as you can't attack the territories. What caused this, i dont know, but i did play with 2WRW mod, so there is that
- As you can see, noone unifed western russia, as WRF, KOMI and Samara were locked in a stalemate.
3.Yazov unifed central russia, but for some reason didn't attack the western russian territories, when the time was right.
- FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE I STARTED PLAYING THIS MOD SPEER WON THE GERMAN CIVIL WAR. HE COULDN'T DO IT BEFORE EVEN WITH BUFFS I GAVE HIM. This made invading Germany much, MUCH easier, as unlike fucking Bormann, Speer doesn't spam out 200 divisions.

As you already know: in the first episode, Alina talked about a South African guy she met online and fell for. But when she went to South Africa to see him, he ghosted her. Poor Alina, RIGHT? I think it's safe to say that was supposed to be the implication (Editor's note: because of the implication...) of that story. And based on some comments here on Reddit, the general consensus is that guy is a terrible person. I thought so too until a rewatch, now I have a different interpretation.
My evidence binder consist of five items: two social media posts and the following quotes
>Mother Alina in a interview:
>
>Of course I don't really want her to go. She falls in love easily. She is very open and sincere. And she pays for that.
>Alina's conversation with her dad:
>
>Father Alina:
> The main thing is for your past experience not to repeat again. When you went to South Africa, remember?
>
>Alina:
> I remember.
>
>FA:
> And the person did not want to meet with you.
>
>A:
> To even see me.
>Alina in a interview:
>
>Once I met this South African guy online, but we immediately met in person because he was here visiting Russia. I kind of fell for him really hard and then he left. Eventually I had an opportunity to go to South Africa, I went. But then we never happened to meet again. He always gave me a lot of excuses why he can’t, how he’s so busy and a lot of bullshit and it took me a long time to completely recover from that.
Based on what her mother says, I think Alina takes a lot of chances when it comes to love and because of that she also easily gets hurt. And I think this South African guy is one of the chances she has taken. When she talks about the trip she say that she had an opportunity to go to South Africa. Not that she had an opportunity to meet him, or that he invited her to come to South Africa. Not a word about "we were supposed to meet", "he didn't show up at the airport" or anything close to getting stood up.
The conversation with her father doesn't imply anything like that either. Alina went to South Africa and the guy didn't want to meet her. I don't think she was invited! According to my research that consisted of me looking at her Facebook and Instagram posts from that trip, the o

Anything goes really

Don't mention any company names just your title or role
Edit 1 : Please specify age and Nett or Gross just for clarification
Edit 2: ok, this blew up overnight. Thanks for everyone sharing, it is indeed very valuable information and a taboo subject which should be more widely discussed
Edit 3: This isn't a d*ck measuring contest, just an open discussion to make the information available and compare if you are in the same field, role etc. Please do not be hesitant to post, regardless of your wages.
In general, if you would have to give an overview of how eloquent and flexible with the language the average South African is, what would you say?
Hello! Looking for South Africans to talk to. My aunts from there and it feels like home. Currently learning Afrikaans. Just graduated with my degree in molecular biology. Hope all is well!

I’ve been dating a girl from Benoni for a few years and recently she’s been feeling homesick more and more often. We recently moved to a new state which fortunately has a pretty large ZA population so I have been ordering some groceries and snacks from there to give her a taste of home.
So my question is: Are there any cultural items/foods that you would crave if you were living in another country?
Thanks for your help and I hope y’all are staying safe out there!
Now this probably occurs all over the world but to discuss S.A specifically don't you think that we as a nation are financially uneducated?
The amount of people who overspend on cars housing and general luxury stand out to me. I've seen people driving new model German cars renting out small apartments. Couples overspending on rent (20k+) for larny housing instead of buying something a little less flashy. All anecdotal from friends and colleagues of mine.
My biggest regret was not saving more money when I intially started working and part of the problem was that I had no one to educate me about finances In general. I wish my parents or someone could have taught me a thing or two but I think they were equally ignorant in regards to saving money and investing. However I now handle every cent with a budget instead of the first few years of careless spending.
I think as nation who struggles with money, a little financial knowledge could make a difference. Ofcorse the economy also comes Into play but this is more aimed at the general middle class who could better their position in life.
The 50/30/20 rule is a solid straight forward budgeting method to divide your income. 50% of your salary for needs, 30% for wants and 20% for savings or paying debt.
What are you thoughts regarding this, does anyone else have a similar outlook?

Hello everyone! I am a writer and a part of the story I write takes place in South Africa (since one of the protagonists is from there) and I have a hard time naming my characters.
So what I want to ask is, what South African names would you like to see in the media? They can be popular ones or not but I am looking for more 'modern' ones. Also I have named one of my characters and her name is Iminathi but i had a hard time finding information (and even the correct spelling) about the name so I want to ask if it's a 'good name' or maybe I should go for a different one.
Thank you for your time!
(PS: I am sorry if I have many grammatical errors, English is not my native language. )
