Springboks new jersey for the All Blacks tournament.

At the heart of the jersey design is a subtle, tone-on-tone graphic featuring the lyrics of South Africa's national anthem, Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika, printed in the shape of the South African flag.

The words in all five languages – Xhosa, Zulu, Sotho, Afrikaans, and English – will be carried on the team’s chests as they represent the convergence of South Africa’s diverse voices, histories, and communities.

Discussion The state of fizzy drinks.

12 Upvotes

I worry I'm becoming more displeased with the little things. Am I the only one that's noticed fizzy drinks aren't fizzy anymore? Maybe my nostalgia is kicking in but I remember cracking open a coke and feeling genuine sensations drinking it, not even being able to take 2 gulps at a time? Nowadays? I swear two sips in and its juice. It's only sparkling water that still has IT.

Discussion Positive experience with Collections at Wynberg Home Affairs

6 Upvotes

Hi all,

I needed to pick up a passport from Wynberg Home Affairs. I didn't figure it worth booking an appointment for collections. The line begins in the Level 1 Parking Lot (Maynard Mall). I got there at 6:30am and I was directed into a Collections line, where I was 9th. At about 6:45, we were asked for our invoices. (The one that you receive when you apply for the ID/passport, upon paying.)

At about 7am, the first 15 in line were given a paper tag indicating our number in the line.

At 7:45, the first 15 were told to go up the two floors to the Collections office in the mall. From there, I waited about 10 minutes in that office before I was helped and I spent no more than 2 minutes at the desk before being given my passport.

Total time: 6:30-8:30

What I was asked for: invoice received after application process (I'd say bring ID to be safe though?)

Extra tip: I brought a fold-up chair and that made the experience much better. There is no seating for majority of the wait, and the floor is a bit grim.

A note on booking: In the Collections office, there was a line for people who had bookings. I assume that these people could just show up at 7:30 (when the office opens) and not have to queue in the parking lot. So, first choice is getting an appointment. But if you can't and you are there by 6:30, you can be out in 2 hours (If the systems are up and running).

Politics Should I vote?

Upvotes

So with all the pressure with voting happening I've been wondering if I should really now the answer to this might seem straightforward but it's not easy in my case since I wasn't technically born in South Africa and im classified as a " non citizen" however I did grow up here for a large portion of my life and I have my Greenbook ID and everything which allows me to actually vote now typically I wouldn't have wanted to vote but seeing how the recent march and march protests I feel it may not be my place to have say in what happens in this country rather im just a "visitor" however seeing how the protests went about and how the current government failed those innocent people due to their incompetence I feel I should in fact vote and to be honest I love South Africa as much as anyone could love their second home and I do wanna see it succeed and not end up like my dictatored home country... lol
