Hello
South Africans aren’t connecting on a local level.
Direct South Africans here for them to meet each other, discuss local issues and solutions and make announcements about local developements and news. We can create topics for smaller regions later. We are still too “scattered” and under-resourced for it to be useful.
Later on a “South Africans: Start Here” (or similar) topic will be good to summarise what beginners need to know to get started ASAP.
You gotta start somewhere, right?
Thanks
Frederik
Good morning and Welcome @thebeachcombers
Not really sure if they have used fishing line before to make new objects.
I hope you find this wiki useful: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fishing_line

This is a project from @makerstationhq.
I think we should have city-wide meet-ups there.
These trolleys might also work as static collection bins to be parked in certain regular spots for trash donation from the public.
The idea is that businesses can sponsor a trolley in exchange for an advertisement on the trolley. They are also fitted with flashing LED “hazard” lights and GPS trackers.
Hi All thanks for the mention @frederikc

Remember to support Breadtags For Wheelchairs.
If there is not a collection bin in your neighbourhood, set one up and contact them to put it on their map. Most Pathcare branches act as collection points, and funnel the collected tags to the logistics partners, who get the tags to Joburg for recycling.
There are now also chapters in Australia and New Zealand.
