I’m looking for someone who does 3D printing and is able to make a custom silicone mould for me.

I recently found someone from one of the recommendations in the craft facebook groups.

I reached out to this lady (Tasha), communication was well, it seemed very promising and I paid upfront. She sent me the designs, I approved it. And then she ghosted me. I did multiple follow ups - no response. And now it seems as if I’m blocked.

Is there anything I can do to recover my money (not a lot but still :/) or somehow still get my custom moulds delivered by her?

Should I drop her business ad/number here to warn other people?

Do you have any recommendations for someone who does custom silicone moulds? (Who you’ve tried personally and is reliable and legit)

Update: so I found another number of hers through a lot of digging on FB and messaged her with a very abrupt message telling her to refund me ASAP - apparently her phone was stolen and she lost all her contacts and now she says she’ll deliver to me on Monday. So let’s see if she’s legit and if she’ll actually deliver or not 🤷🏽‍♀️

Hi everyone, sharing this on behalf of AWARE Foundation NPC.

We’re holding AWARE Foundation Community Day at Sea Point Promenade on Sunday, 25 October 2026, together with EarthPet and EarthPet Vet. There’ll be free vaccinations and microchipping for eligible dogs and cats.

If this would help you or someone you know, you can book an appointment here. Each pet needs a booking, and there won’t be walk-ins. Please keep your confirmation and bring dogs on a secure lead and cats in a carrier.

We’re also looking for volunteers to help on the day. If you’re available, the details and application are here.

Please pass this on if you know someone whose pets could benefit. We’d appreciate the help getting the word out.

Please share, my friend's brother is missing 🥺

I have this south african brethren, i’m honestly not sure where specifically he’s from but I know he was born there, he lives in a australia now, any how, he has told me several times that africans absolutely despise all leafy greens, lettuce, kale, broccoli, spinach, you name it. He constantly tells me how leafy greens are seen as a poor source of food in south african regions and that it’s looked down upon and almost judged if you were to have it in your house, he also never eats lettuce, ever, and i’ve never mentioned it to his parents out respect because i assumed it was a cultural thing. I’ve so curious and confused because i’ve never seen any media coverage about this ever, i’ve never heard any other african cultures or people saying that leafy greens are bad ever, i’ve searched it up numerous times and to no avail, he assured me that it’s true and almost 90% of african cultures look down upon leafy greens as a food choice. Can anybody confirm?

“State department officials, according to an August proposal seen by the Guardian, outlined a roughly $335,000 research and advertising effort after applications to the refugee program “trended lower than expected” since Afrikaners were allowed to apply directly online in November 2025. The document, written by the US mission in South Africa with a department research unit for the embassy in Pretoria, admits officials know little about why.

“There’s currently little research about why Afrikaners are not applying to request referral into the US Refugee Admissions Program,” the proposal reads.”

Does anyone remember KOO Sweet and Sour Marinade from around the 2000s? I am 99% sure it was this marinade

I remember it coming in a glass bottle with a black/brown sauce. It was sweet, sour AND savoury, and so delicious that we literally ate it as a dipping sauce!

I've searched everywhere for a photograph and can't find one. 😭

Does anyone remember this product, have an old photo of the bottle, or know when it was discontinued? This was early early 2000's and I was VERY young.

Please tell me I'm not imagining this childhood favourite! 😂

Just a head's up, you will need to make a free account on Daily Maverick to read this article. It's not a paywall (Daily Maverick doesn't do paywalls), but I thought I would let you all know.

I've been watching the Expresso Morning Show for years, but one thing I've noticed increasingly is how often the presenters talk over each other and interrupt guests, sometimes before they've even finished answering a question.

I understand it's live television and that banter is part of the show's charm, but surely there's a balance between rapid-fire conversation and actually letting people speak?

I was invited onto the show a few months ago but couldn't attend due to work commitments. Looking back, I wonder how I would've handled constantly being interrupted by them...

Am I the only one who's noticed this, or does it frustrate others too?

See you guys, im buying a house in bishops court. Maybe an apartment because housing is so expensive but yo. Lets go party

View at Calypso Beach in langebaan today. Was listing a plot and just had to share the view.

This is a repost to spread around this post about a online school that uses ai for their low effort lessons in south africa. Im not sure if this is the right subreddit to repost to so mb if it isnt. If u dont wanna go to the post ill jst give some proof that they use ai now here too.

I attached one of their ai animations here, more context in the post. I suspect they also use ai voices in some lessons (inconsistent and bot sounding voices) and maybe even ai writing for some of their lessons. Not all of their lessons have ai but also of them do

. Im new to reddit so im not good at posting so if i used the wrong tags or did something bad, i apologize and u can tell me in comments or something pls

Edit: They also dont mark their tests manually, they use some code script instead, and the tests are just multiple choice or one word answers. Also i sometimes find that the work in the activities are different to the ones shown in the lessons. I was told by someone that the teachers are probably payed a little, so i can sympathize with them a little however i feel that doesnt fully justify it. Their work just feels low quality, especially with the crappy tests. I find their content hard to digest too but im not sure if others who are in thinkdigital also find it hard to digest. All i can say for certain is that the tests are crappy and they do use ai, and maybe even ai voices and scripts in some of their lessons.
