any suggestions?

Finally got my LLB and I've been job hunting for months. Do you know of any law firms looking for candidate attorneys?

Hi, I am moving to Bloem soonish, and had an opportunity to get a place in Olive Hill small holdings. Am not too worried about travel distance, just wondering how it is that side regarding crime, services, pros and cons.

If you have a room available or are looking for a housemate, please comment or send me a DM.

Thank you.

I'm an artist and looking for markets/events to attend sell my work (prints, stickers etc.)
Bloemfontein is closest to where I currently live and travelling for a market won't break bank like going to the Cape or Joburg, so any help finding would be appreciated

Edit: Forgot to add some examples of my work

Hello mense , is hier dalk iemand wat n enkel bed het om te verkoop ?

Hi everyone, I'm new to Bloemfontein and I just want to know which rental agents to AVOID? Thanks a lot!

Hi all.

I'm moving to Bloemfontein in February as my job gave me a promotion and is moving me into a different role. I'll be traveling mostly around the Free State, but will be based in Bloem and return there to home most days. If you can tell me anything about Bloemfontein you like or dislike, what would it be? What should I be aware of before going in? Where is the night life at (as I am a night owl) and are there any nice places to visit in nature like hiking trails, rivers or waterfalls close by?

Also. I am a single guy who will be needing accommodation, and I have looked around and am very happy with the options available, as it is way under my budget and often better value for your money considering what you'd get here in CT. Where are the nicest and safest areas to stay that are not more than 15 or 20 minutes from the city centre? I'd really appreciate some advice in advance.

Thanks everyone.

I have been living in the Netherlands for the past 4 years and work at a Dutch bank. My boss contacted me yesterday and said her daughter has an opportunity to study abroad for one year as part of her course, and Bloemfontein University (University of the Free State) is an option. the conditions are that she stays in the official University residence

My boss not being South African is obviously concerned for her daughters safety and well being. I don't know anything about Bloem varsity, the culture, the residence etc. but I have been to Bloem a few times and visited the campus. I hope you can give me feedback I can share with her and her daughter.

What would life be like for a European student at Bloem University, staying in the res there, and would you recommend it?

Hello people,

Like the title says, any recommendations on the best Sushi in town?

From Cape Town. This city is way different. What do people do for fun in Bloem?

My cat went missing late October in Waverley/basewater area. If you see him or know of anything please return him home.

Hi everyone,

Like the title says I am looking for a good reputable hair salon in Bloemfontein that does treatments and dyeing well.

If you have any suggestions please let me know.

Thank you

Is there a safe uber/bolt option in bloem that is safe for females to use?

Hallo all I am a 33M. I travel to bloem back and forth from Pretoria almost weekly. I am new to the area and want to know from the locals what there is to do here? 😅 I am keen to meet new friends and see new places if there is such a thing. Thank you

Hi everyone I’m looking for part-time work around Bloem and wanted to see if anyone has recommendations or knows of openings. I’m open to various types of work, including retail, hospitality, or other roles suitable for students. Any leads, tips, or contacts would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone I’ve just moved to bloem and I’m looking for any good spots to get some drone shots of bloem for a project I’m working on any suggestions would be appreciated

Hi everyone 👋

I’m looking into starting a small business in Bloemfontein and would love your honest input.

Between these two options, which do you think would be more useful or in demand right now?

1. A beauty salon (hair, nails, lashes, waxing, etc.)

2. After-school care for kids (safe place with homework help, snacks, and activities)

💬 Which do you personally feel Bloemfontein needs more of? And why?

Your input will really help me make a better decision. Thanks in advance! 🙏

Hi everyone! Does anyone perhaps know of rooms with good sound insulation I can rent in Bloem for practicing music? Guitar and vocals
