I'm here in Jozie. Well actually, I'm working in Westbury and living in Roodeport. I'm looking a new place to live and friends.

1. Where (in which area) can I find a nice place to stay for around 2000R/month including electricity and water? The place should be about a taxi ride away from Westbury and in walking distance from a grocery store (like Checkers or Spar), a take-away restaurant or two (and mall?).

2. I only have Saturday afternoons to Monday mornings free. Where can I go to meet people (in their twenties) during that time?


3. If you're in or from the area, send me an e-mail (diggs2002@yahoo.com), I have tons of questions esp. about public transportation.

Hey there!!!

Try Melville or Westdene area for accommodation, because it is close to the University of Johannesburg, there is loads of accommodation available, especially now as the varsity is closing soon and a lot of the students are going home.

I stayed in Melville for 3 years in a digs and it was super cool.... Paid R 1450 per month including water and elect. Places to go out are within walking distance, as well as shops, doctors etc. Weekends, to meet people try 7th Street, Melville, lots of pubs and restaurants.

The best is that it is literally less than 10km from Westbury.
Tip: If you can get onto UJ campus, go scout the notice boards for accommodation adds, there are always plenty with accommo in the area.
