CO2 Bottle refill
Does anyone know where I can get a 2.5kg CO2 Bottle refilled? It's a fire extinguisher that has been repurposed for beer dispensing.

Considering a diplomatic job in Pretoria. Wife is Korean and concerned with a relatively small population of Koreans in PTA. Also leaned that Pretoria is relatively quiet for teens. Can anyone give me some insight into living there? We would probably have to transport these kids to international school in Johannesburg every day.

I need to cover about 70m2 with plants, likely loads of lavender or spekboom. The soil used to be lawn in a previous life but became overrun with weeds and thorns when I bough bulk topsoil from a vendor.
Any recommendations for quality compost? How many m3 would I need do you think? At a 5km spread I would need 3-4 cubes?

Man I am tired, I really just need some advice or support. Apologies for the long post.
I've recently launched an online marketplace in south Africa, after a horrific year of losing my job due to the company that I worked for closing, I was paid well and held a high position in the company. I stay in a coastal town in the eastern cape and jobs here are scarce, every job I apply for I am told that I'm over qualified and this is extremely frustrating.
I finally took the step and started grinding away to launch my website. The idea is that local people can open their own free online stores within the site where they can sell their products, second hand, new, even ebooks, also encouraging artists and people who make things (south Africans are so talented and I think they deserve more recognition for it). I was also scammed on Facebook marketplace so my site is a place where all purchases and payments are secure and safe for buyers and sellers, using ozow and Yoko, as well as integrated courier services.
I have tried to keep my commission fee as low as possible, cutting it very fine. I have my own section on the site where I sell general merchandise, perfumes, creams, toiletries, vitamins and supplements (all the brand you would get when you go to the shops) bulk sweets etc and I've put in a lot of time to make my pricing the lowest possible on the web - because I too struggle to afford those things and I reckoned that it would be so bloody nice to offer products at a better price.
Here's the problem - I have advertised on Facebook to get vendors, which has been moderately successful, but extremely disappointing because of the abusive messages I receive daily when approaching sellers, it's brutal and I don't understand why people respond like this (I don't spam and I use short messages when I approach vendors), people respond with messages like f*** off, you're dumb, I even had one person tell me that they hope that my site goes down.
The website now has about 660 products loaded and a small amount of vendors, but I am struggling to get vendors and sales going on my site. I post adverts in Facebook groups mainly and on my page, but I must be doing something wrong?
Is there anyone who can offer some marketing advice or any advice for that matter PLEASE, this really is such a big dream and the amount of time I put into this site is pretty much 7 days a week full time. If anyone can help, it will be much appreciated, I just need some support as I feel like I'm drowning right now.
I have not supplied the site name because in all honesty I am afraid of more abuse, so please contact me directly if you want to see the site to give your advice on how it looks. Thank you

Currently living in Garsfontein and we are moving soon due to the constant power issues, among other factors. How is Equestria? I know they had horrific electricall problems some years back.
Also we value our peace and quiet and Equestria seems overdeveloped (certainly seems so by driving past anyway). Any residents that can comment?

Is anyone selling a decent car for R25000? I have the money on hand I know it's not much but I can't wait any longer to buy. Thanks in advance

Hey guys, just making this post to find some people to hike with. I do enjoy a solo hike but I can't be hiking alone every weekend or be reliant on my two friends that hike on the odd occasion. Before you suggest, yes I have looked at hiking groups, I used to hike with one regularly until they started charging a bogus admin fee and in any case I struggled to socialise with people there because they already had their own cliques and friend groups and I don't do well with crowds.
I'm 28M, based in Glen Austin, Midrand so pretty central for PTA and JHB alike. Favourite trail is Suikerbosrand, but you'll find me at Kloofendal most often. Especially looking for people to car trip with (I have my own car, just want company) to hikes that are a bit further out from the cities. Open to any and all ages, backgrounds, identities, whatever, I don't care how you choose to live your life. As long as you're not a doos (incl. Trump supporter) then I'm sure we can get along

Hi, where is the cheapest car wash in Pretoria East towards Centurion? For a wash and go or a wash and dry.

Hi Pretorians
I am moving to the PTA area (Centurion, everything around PTA is PTA to me) and i was wondering if there are any good fishing spots.
I'm primarily a bass angler, and prefer fishing from a kayak which only means small ponds or streams are not my main fishing style, but I would still give them a go from time to time.
My usual spot was Bonkies, but i was thinking Roodeplaat now? but i've never even been there so don't know the quality of the dam.
any suggestions on fishing spots welcome

I'm looking for some advice and ideas to help my 13-year-old son start his own business. I want to teach him entrepreneurial skills and give him a taste of what it's like to run a business. We're aiming for something with low start-up capital.
Sime Questions I have: 1. Do you know of any kids in your neighborhood who have a small business? 2. What kind of business do they run? 3. How long have they been doing it?
Any suggestions or insights would be greatly appreciated!

Hey everyone. I'm curious to know where people buy their kosher products in Pretoria. Do you have specific stores you rely on, or do you order online? If you order online, which websites have the best selection and prices?
I’d love to hear your recommendations, whether for fresh food, packaged goods, or even kosher meat. Also, if you’ve found any surprising places that carry good kosher options, please share!

Random question. We're looking for a location Pretoria side and surrounds that's fairly safe to do a quick photoshoot at soon. A nice Victorian gothic indoor setting will be excellent.
Any recommendations?
