I have just seen a flight quote for a JNB - Durban flight in Dec (one way) of R25k for a family of 4. Are you f*cking kidding me?? And this is “economy” or some such sunbird. WTF
@ExclusiveBooks@AramexSA Thank you. It’s order no 138095 and order no 138093. @AramexSA have not been very bothered to follow up or give any update as to where the items are.
Hello @ExclusiveBooks - your courier partner @AramexSA is totally unreliable. Two books ordered as birthday gifts, none have reached their destination despite being “ collected by courier” - weeks later. What am I paying delivery for?

While there are other real and existential crises to worry about. The news about a Pronutro rejig has me worried. We buy chocolate Pronutro at a massive premium from our local SA store but our kids LOVE it second to none. What has happened?

Last time we had a passport application at a bank branch, we were told that as Home Affairs in PTA was down due to electricity outage - so too was the bank branch outpost. So hopefully things work a little more independently with these.

Our family watched pretty much every game of the @SA20_League from dreary London. Perfect dose of our homeland while not being able to be there. Love it 🏏
Yes, folks, you are seeing a lot more CHERRIES in your grocery stores than you used to. South Africa has massively increased its cherry production.
In 2012, South Africa had 185 hectares of cherry plantings, and by 2024, we had about 819 hectares.
Nearly 60% of South Africa’s cherries are exported, and the rest are for local consumption. The UK, EU, and the Middle East are the primary markets.
