Dear South-africans, Help us Find Mazwi Kubheka. He's allegedly been kidnapped by Pakistanis because he refused to close his tuckshop. Let's help the family. Cyril Ramaphosa and Cachalia won't say anything because he's not a FOREIGNER!
This is Mazwi Mpumelelo Khubheka, he is missing. He was allegedly kidnapped after Refusing to sell his spaza shop to Pakistani Spaza shops owners.
Nearly a month has passed since the alleged kidnapping of Mazwi, with his family still seeking answers. They believe he was targeted after opening a spaza shop and say investigators have not provided updates.
According to the family, an unknown man had pressured Mazwi to sell his shop to Pakistani nationals, which he refused. They also allege that a security company is protecting foreign shop owners while forcing locals to close.
The family is urging authorities to act urgently and provide clarity, saying the case requires serious attention as concerns grow over what may have happened to him.
@eThekwiniM Your statement is misleading, buses are also not working. I've been at the bus stop since 5h30. Ubers&bolt are not accepting our ride requests
The thing about buying property in affluent South African suburbs—like, let’s say Bryanston—is that it often feels like an elaborate inside joke no one let you in on. You walk into a 40-year-old house, sitting on 10,000 square meters of land, priced at a cool R11 million, and think, “Oh wow, maybe it’s a steal.” But then you actually look at it.
The structure hasn’t been touched since the 80s, unless you count a questionable paint job from 2003. The pipes groan like they’re begging to be put out of their misery. And the foundation? Let’s just say if a strong gust of wind had an attitude that day, you might be rebuilding from scratch.
So now, not only are you paying R11 million for this “hidden gem,” but you’re also signing up to throw another R3 to R5 million into renovations—basically building the house you actually want to live in. And that’s when the math stops mathing.
At what point do we stop pretending that these homes are still homes and not just overvalued land listings with nostalgia baked into the price tag? If you, the seller, didn’t think it was worth fixing in the last four decades, why am I suddenly expected to see the potential you ignored?
Moral of the story: If a house is old enough to have witnessed multiple economic recessions, maybe it should be sold as land—not as some crumbling utopia wrapped in a “luxury property” price tag. Because at the end of the day, it’s not a bargain. It’s just a very expensive construction project waiting to happen.
@MirandaevaM @Buhlenomuhle Where I used to work there wasn't. When I was new I had pork ribs for lunch, I didn't know we weren't allowed to even eat anything pork in the canteen. I got a verbal warning
