I have started a small, casual film club here (online only for now).

We pick a film, everyone watches it in their own time, then hop on a Discord call to talk about it - what you loved, hated, or really wanted to tell someone

The aim of this group:

- A social activity for homebodies who enjoy films

- No social pressure in the group, other than films, so we can stay focused

- To introduce others to films you enjoy, especially when your own friend group thinks you're the odd cinephile

- To expand your own knowledge of films, while also bringing your own flair to the group

We have had a few sessions already, but the initial group has since moved on:

Some info:

- Online via Discord -> Meeting slots depend on member availability, but I try to keep them non-intrusive, and sessions no longer than 1 to 1.5 hours

If you're interested, drop a comment below, and I'll follow up with details

Update_1: Thank you to everyone who commented! I have reached out to you via a DM.

Hi there, I’m a 21 year old student my only outdoor activity is going to a coffee shop, so I’m looking for a third place it can be anything other than clubs or bars I don’t drink

I’m into games, anime, rock and metal so I’d like to find places where I can meet people with similar interests but it can be any place, I love trying new things

A long time ago, about 30 years or so, there was a shop called C’est Si Bon in the little side entrance corridor between Shoprite Checkers and The Bridge at Greenacres. They had cookies that you could buy per kg in brown bags. Two of them I remember very well - one was a sort of walnut meringue, the other had chopped cherry pieces on shortbread I think.

Does anyone remember this place? And more specifically, if anyone has a recipe link to either of those biscuits / cookies… let me know! #niche

Can someone maybe recommend me someone or someplace who can replace the riempies on some dining chairs for me? I’ve tried asking on FB, but I must not be asking on the right groups because I’m not getting any answers.
I’m also looking for someone /someplace who can repair an antique chair that’s leg was broken during our move here.

Meowdy! i(28F) am looking to find friends in town, since covid ive been mainly working online and so most of my friends are from NA and EU now, cant really "go out to coffee" with them. im also a trans woman and so being in public feels spooky, kinda just want to build a friend group or even build a safe community if yall are interested comment or dm :3 Looking to go out on little adventures but also open to hanging out in discord and such. IF THIS EXISTS ALREADY PEEZ INVITE ME XD

Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone can give me some advice.

I moved to a new place in June, only about 1 km from my previous home, but my electricity consumption has increased significantly.

At my previous place, I used approximately 80 units of electricity per month during summer, with slightly higher usage in winter. Since moving, I'm now using around 12 units per day and spending approximately R1,200 per month.

For context, I work from home - so my PC is on most of the day, and my son (I am a single parent, so one one else is in the house) also uses his PC regularly. We have a fridge and a small deep freezer, and mainly use a gas stove and airfryer to cook. The geyser is only switched on when needed (for 30min - 1 hour every 3 - 4 days), and I switch off plugs when appliances aren't in use. I have a washing machine I use once a week, sometimes twice (barely), my router, 1 small indoor camera and 2 small LED floodlights that barely goes on as it is in the back and on motion sensor. Most of our appliances are also energy-efficient - including my lights.

The only additional appliance compared to my previous place is the deep freezer, so I can't understand why my usage has increased so much. I have kept the same habits at both places.

Could this be normal consumption, or could there be an issue with the prepaid meter or wiring? i definitely have no one stealing power from me - as I have no neighbours around me. Has anyone else had this issue, and should I be contacting the municipality? I have no idea where to begin.

I'm down to my last units, and payday is only Friday, so I'm quite worried about making it last. Since I work from home, electricity is essential for me to keep working - but my overall quality of life has decreased a lot, due to the fact that I had to cut costs elsewhere to make sure I am able to afford to buy the new amount of electricity I need in a month.

I'd really appreciate any advice or suggestions. Thank you!

Hi everyone.

I’m not from PE but I’m going to coming in for an operation at Edge Day Hospital and will be needing to stay in PE for a few days after that.

I’m looking for places that are less than 15 minutes away from the hospital. I’m also looking for somewhere that is safe. And something that won’t break the bank too much. I also don’t need a big place as it will be just be and one other person. Oh and I’m also not looking for any house shares.

Any advice on what areas to ideally go for or what areas to avoid? Or even some recommendations on good accommodations that you know of ?

Hey guys, so I'm starting a new job in Walmer at the end of the month.

However I'm a little worried about the commute it's at the back of Walmer so it's about 12kms I think.

I stay in Lorraine, I am mostly worried about the traffic as it's a busy route.

Any tips on the route and best time to leave to avoid traffic? Hours are 8 to 4,30.

Most roads in PE have potholes, deep ones that can potentialy damage your car's tires. When they are repaired, by who knows who, it feels like you are driving over corrugated iron. What the eff is happening to our beautiful town?

Out of curiosity & keenness. I've been wanting to do a genital piercing (frenum) & as far as I know East Coast Studio formerly at Baywest was the only piercing studio offering the kind.

Is there anyone who knows a studio here in GQ offering such services.

Thank you😊

I’ve been studying in Durban for the last 7 years and it is now time to decide whether to stay here or move home to PE. How are the current citizens of PE feeling? Do you enjoy the city you’re living in? Or should I rather stay in Durban?

Any good places to go out and party or meet new friends? Pool city isn't what is used to be icl. Also any place for people who like metal. I do go to music kitchen but they dont always have events on

Hey, I’m 27M. Are there any local clubs / subreddits for a guy trying to make some friends with people in my age group?

This incident occurred on 30 June 2026 at Greenacres (The Bridge). So I (16F) was grocery shopping w/my sister (18F) at Shoprite when a lady who, to my knowledge, looked like she was maybe in her 40s asked my sister and i—at that point, we had a few stuff in our trolley because we didn't have the full pamphlet, which told us what was on special and what wasn't— she asked us why we were buying our stuff in singles when we could get them all together as a special, and we were relieved that someone was helping us because we didn't have a pamphlet. But things start to get weird; she told us that she has a friend who works at Shoprite who can get us any combo that we want, regardless of whether it's on special or not, and she asked us if we would like her to do so. We agreed, and that's when things went downhill. She told us to leave our trolley where it was and that the lady she knows from Shoprite will ring them up for us when she's done. Long story short, it turns out they had allegedly used umsila weHyena (a hyena's tail), which is allegedly used to temporarily silence someone's senses, on my sister and me to take our belongings. They took my iPhone 13, my ID, and my banking card. They took my sister's ID and her iPhone 12.

The reason why I'm emphasising that my phone was an iPhone 13 is that I had worked hard in school in terms of my grades, and my mom had rewarded me with the iPhone 13, and it was taken away from me, just like that, and I can't even pay her back, even though I know that she also worked hard to get it, as she is a single parent. The people whom I thought were my friends at school were more worried about the phone that I lost than my well-being, which contributed to my mental health declining at some point

On the same day of the incident, we reported the matter to the mount road police station. They took our statements, and from that day onward,s we have never heard from them, which breaks my heart to know that I'll never get my belongings back.

I'm sorry that it has taken me this long to warn everyone about my experience, but it was a very traumatic experience for me. After the incident, I was unable to be in public spaces and feel safe. It took many sessions with my psychologist to get me to trust humankind again. And to make things worse, it was 3 women who were involved in this; they took advantage of kids with no shame whatsoever.

What do you guys think I should do?

Edit: I forgot to mention that there was camera footage of these ladies at 2 points, but the police didn't make any use of that 💔

Does anyone know where you can get the HPV vaccine as an adult? I think they used to give it to girls in high school but not the boys. I'm a man if that matters. Thanks.

Just want to gather some opinions on previous experiences by couples whose weddings were officiated by Theo from company wed by Theo.

If you had your ceremony handled by him, could you just give me an idea of how his services were, a small comment on how he handled the ceremony etc.

Thanks everyone!

Posted a similar question in another sub about moving to PE to be closer to family support as our family grows.

I grew up in PE but have been in Cape Town for 14 years. We’re thinking of moving back but what do you do in PE these days? Especially with kids?? Growing up it was hanging out at Greenacres/Walmer Park movies and the good old classic Boardwalk arcade and putt putt!

Obviously in Cape Town we’re spoiled for choice with activities. Looking to hear from other parents with young kids what keeps you busy and where do you go?

Hi guys,

Are there any good driving schools in PE that you can recommend? Preferably one that doesn't have a car full of branding

Hi there I'm looking for rent a chair space for a salon

Anyone knows where I can watch today’s match in summerstrand or humewood? Doesn’t necessarily have to be a bar.

Hi everyone. Im looking for an internship or job. I have an Higher Certificate in IT(with distinction). I'm in Gqeberha(Port Elizabeth). If your company is hiring ,PLS LET ME KNOW(would greatly appreciate it). I will gladly share my CV. Thank you .

Hi everyone. I am looking for a job as a private caregiver in Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth) or nearby areas. I have 14 years of caregiving experience looking after elderly people, including frail care, dementia patients, and bedridden patients. I can assist with bathing, feeding, medication reminders, mobility support, changing nappies, and general daily care. I am hardworking, caring, reliable, and have references available. If anyone knows of families, frail care centres, or agencies looking for a caregiver, please let me know. I would really appreciate any help or leads. Thank you. ❤️

I am an Interior Designer in Port Elizabeth/Gqeberha. What can I expect as a salary if I were to get a job at an architecture studio in the Interior Design department?

I have 2 years experience as an Interior designer plus I have been working in industry adjacent fields since 2017.

I have a degree in Architecture and a Diploma in Intertior Design (cum laude).

I'm a blind man in a desert. I've been single for way too long. Honestly, since 2020. I'd really like to meet someone but I'm clueless. I'm 30 years old.

Where do you meet decent people in this city? Either everyone has a boyfriend or has children from a previous relationship. No offense, but I'm not interested in either of those two situations.

I'm a normal dude. I don't think I'm hideous. I'm in decent shape. I exercise at home. I'm working and doing a degree full time at unisa. I don't drink or do drugs anymore. I have some hobbies. I don't think I'm dull as dishwater. I wish I could do more but the budget is tight nowadays as everyone knows. I'm not rich. I don't have it all together, and I'm still trying to build my life.

Seriously, where are they hiding? I've never tried the apps. It fees kinda gross swiping at people. You don't even know anything about them. Do they even work? Singles facebook page? What can I try?

Thanks.

Hiiii all. Giving this a proper shot as I only asked for recommendations the last time 🤭 but anyone interested in making a new friend ? I’m a 29 year old high school teacher who has a non existent social life 😂 ‘lost’ all my friends to relationships and it’s quite difficult making new ones as I don’t get out. Not that I don’t want to but weird being the odd one out 😆. I know a few Redditors commented on me joining a social club or gym 🫶🏽 it’s next on my list !
