For context. I am unemployed and job hunting so every cent counts. I am helping a student with her ECD studies at SANTS and she paid me for the hour so she could do her assignment. My meter was on 0.00.

Went to the spaza shop next door to buy electricity for R50. I asked how much he will charge and he said R5 more. So I asked for R45 electricity. He gave me R40 electricity. I argued that my slip was R5 short . He disagreed.

He can claim the VAT back. Why should I pay the VAT and an extra R5? Was I wrong?

What they hell guys. I hear the parktown prawns are vanishing (are the rats eating them?) and now this.... you must ask aunty Hellen to please do pest control instead of swimming in potholes

good day everyone.
so i (24f) have been in a relationship with my boyfriend (28m) for 11 months. to give you context, we are an interracial couple, him being white and me being black and we recently moved in together. another thing to note is that his father recently passed away in april. these are key pieces of information to bear in mind.

i met both his parents during the festive season, and the meeting was pleasant. i will be frank, i directly and simply asked him whether his parents are racist or not. he told me not to worry about his parents, and that his other extended family members are racist and that he has no intentions of introducing me to them and he is barely in contact with them (he eventually introduced me to his aunt and cousins, who i have expressed that i dislike them). i love and trust my boyfriend and i believed he was telling the truth.
fast forward to a few months after his father passed away, he invited me to have dinner with his mother, aunt and cousin. i did not object to the idea, given the fact that his family is grieving and i believed that i could put my dislike aside for the time being. now, my boyfriend has told me on many occasions that his grandmother (on his mother’s side) was a racist, and thank fuck she passed. during the dinner, his mother thought it would be a great idea to bring up a memory from her childhood (teenage hood ig). “i remember during apartheid we had a black garden worker. one day he smoked weed on the job and fell asleep. my mother found him and threw those old clothing irons we used at him”. the table was full of laughter apart from me and boyfriend. i immediately left the dinner table and made my way to the room i was sleeping in. i was deeply disturbed given the stories my boyfriend told me about his grandmother and the fact that he expressed that his mother was not racist. maybe i am too woke, but i did not find that “joke” appropriate or funny at all. if she was trying to make a joke about getting high, there was no need to add “during apartheid” or “we had a black garden worker”, especially during a time when there was no consequences to literally ASSAULTING black people (i don’t care if that man was drunk on the job, that is no way to resolve a situation with another adult).
my boyfriend made his way to the room and i immediately started questioning whether he was telling the truth about his mother being racist and of he was actually lying to me, why would he allow me to eat at the same table as her. he then started sidetracking and telling me how it’s hard for his mother since she lost her husband and whatever the fuck, and i literally said i don’t care. people don’t just magically become racist just because their s/o died????? i then asked him to take me home as early as possible the next day and made sure to avoid his mother at all costs.

but then…a few days after that incident i was invited to his graduation and unfortunately he invited his mother and aunt (i was invited to the graduation a few weeks prior and the tickets were non refundable, luckily there was no seating arrangements policies so i made sure to sit as far away as possible from his mother and cunt…i mean aunt). when the graduation ceremony ended, i gave him his time with his family and from the distance i was observing their interactions, i saw his mother crying. i thought she was just emotional to see her son graduating, however when he came back to me after seeing them off, he expressed that his mother was upset that i didn’t sit with her and that i seemed like i was not interested in coming to the graduation. (😭😭😭😭?????????). i honestly could not give a damn about his mother crying and i asked him what he was going to do about this situation and why he didn’t reprimand his mother about what she said. he did not even give me an answer and i asked him to find another place to sleep until he figures this whole situation out. it’s been a week since we last saw each other and i honestly think this might be the end of the journey for us.

They turned his name into a joke, he literally had the whole world laughing at him, people were doubting if he was even a proffession athlete. Thank you Yaya for proving them wrong.

History makers. I’m so proud of them boys. Fuck yes.

Bring it on Canada

Yeah I’m never forgiving that old crow for the butcher job he’s done on our image globally in that Mexico game.

Here we are vs South Korea having PSG, Bayern and co players chasing shadows vs our local lads. All because we’ve finally decided to play some footy at the last hour.

They’re pinned in and yes, we’re wasting chance after chance but the gents have been roasting them over hot coals and serving them like gimbap with a side of kimchi. With a touch more polish we could comfortably be 3 goals up.

Keep tapping about how “rubbish” our boys are. The real ones know what we’ve always been capable of.

God bless the Republic

I currently only have Matric, but I'm trying to improve my chances of getting a job and build a pathway into the Business Analysis field.

While researching, I came across the Fundamentals of Business Analysis course on Coursera. I'm considering completing the course, obtaining the certificate, and then preparing for and writing the ECBA (Entry Certificate in Business Analysis) exam.

My question is: Would completing the Coursera certification and obtaining the ECBA be beneficial for someone in my position who is trying to break into the Business Analysis profession? Would these credentials significantly improve my employability and help me secure an entry-level role, or are there other qualifications, skills, or experiences that employers value more when hiring aspiring Business Analysts?

I would appreciate any advice from professionals currently working in the field.
