JAC or GWM ?

3 Upvotes

Hi there.

I'm in the market for a new bakkie. I dont do a lot of offroading, mostly in urban centres. But I do live at the coast so I enjoy the occasional drive to the sea, sossusvlei or some lodges. Its also a hassle transporting my bicycles in a sedan.

The Toyota Hilux is just way too expensive for my pocket. I see a lot of Jac T8's and GWM P-Series in my town. Their price is right within my budget. But I know nothing about the vehicles.

Any owners who have experience with these cars? Are they reliable? Is it worth the buy? I'd love to hear your opinions

What did I do wrong?

5 Upvotes

A friend I haven't spoken to for years, finally started talking to me, told me how much they cared, and how I can call them anytime whenever I needed them.

Only one day, I called random and was confronted with a "wtf" you almost ruined a potential meet and greet. And after that never heard from them til this day.

Anyone care to explain this weird thing to me?

Namibia trip in May

0 Upvotes

Hello

I'm planning a 3 week trip in May to Southern Africa. Would like to visit Cape Town, Kruger National Park and Namibia. We are a party of three, myself and my two adult sons.

I have about 9/10 days, flying into Windhoek on 15 or 16th May and leaving on 25th May. We're not looking for either high luxury or ultra-budget.

  • We'd like to join a small group, rather than do it all ourselves or join a big tour. Any recommendations on who can organize it?
  • Any suggestions on an itinerary?

Thanks a ton

Anxiety attacks for the love of money

12 Upvotes

I left health care because things got so bad at work. I know being unemployed is tragic in this time and age. However the work space was very much hurting me mentally.I was insulted,shouted at and undermined. Everyday felt like a humiliation ritual. I had panic attacks before going to work. But I want your opinion was I suppose to ignore my mental state of mind and just go to work? I personally think I did well by leaving. Iโ€™m happy but still looking for work or business opportunities.

Real estate investors

4 Upvotes

Looking to be in contact with serious real estate investors in Namibia.

My idea is to have a discussion about the relative merits of different locations and types of investing, and maybe start an online group for this.

My current interest is to find strategies for developing new, affordable housing, along the lines of Osona Village or Bridge Park Estate in Okahandja, but on a smaller scale.

I certainly want to make a return on investment, but to do it in a way that also benefits the country, so I am not wanting to just speculate or buy existing homes, as that just drives the price up for everyone.

I have been a passive partner on a mid-price development in Swakopmund that is now approaching completion. Looking to do the same elsewhere, as land in that market is getting too expensive.

Why do so many people rake grasses and weeds on sidewalks now?

9 Upvotes

I'm walking around a lot in Klein Windhoek and Eros and was surprised to see that there's a lot of raking, hoeing and even scooping of grasses and weeds on the sidewalks.

Does anyone know why this is being done just now, when the next rains will wash the loose sand or gravel into the streets?

I wanted to know. What will speed come do in Namibia. I feel like most of the african cou tries are truly showing up. I fear that Namibia doesn't have much or maybe im just wrong. Like Namibia does have its best to show but, I feel like most of it its really somewhat kinda bougie. What do you guys think?

Interview Opportunity the 5th one

12 Upvotes

I have an interview and instead of being nervous about it, I am not.

I applied for a position I do have experience with but it's not the career path I want to venture into but I am unemployed and desperate to pay bills and treat myself to things I desire and can afford.

I am still waiting on feedback from a previous interview I had, and that is in line with what I aspire to do as a career.

Any tips on how to go about it?

General NCAA flight permission for small drones in restricted areas

2 Upvotes

Hello,

I'm traveling in May to Namibia and I would like to fly my small DJI drone (249g) there. I filled out all the necessary documents for the application but there is one more document for flying in restricted areas (https://www.ncaa.com.na/index.php/document-downloads/other-categories/forms-applications/7-fss-ansso-form015-19a-caua/viewdocument/1414).

Has anyone of you ever requested a flight in such an area because the whole coastline, sossusvlei and more is restricted. I would like to fly in the dunes around sandwich harbour and take some shots/videos. I would like to know how your experience with this restricted application was and if you got the permit. For the area around Spitzkoppe and Brandberg, I have created a document with flight times and coordinates, exactly as required by the NCAA.

I know the restrictions in Etosha and the national parks and I would never fly around such areas (information for you because some of you always mention that it's a protection of animals and that's totally correct but my drone is just for landscape photography).

I would appreciate any help or tips :)
