Hello, Its been a long time
Heita Steemit,
Its been a long time since I've been able to visit Steemit and I hope that I will now have more time to post more often. Time has always been difficult to find and the internet in my area has been very unreliable recently which has made things even harder.
Work has been very difficult and I have had to work a lot more with the prices of everything going up so much. Things like oil, bread and vegetables have gone up lots and my landlord wants to put up my rent too. Everything feels so hard at the moment. The hardest thing is the price of fuel. I need to drive my car for work and it is getting very expensive to run and it is getting very unreliable. I will have a big problem if it completely breaks down.
Steemit has always been an escape for me, an opportunity to read about other peoples lives and to enter some contests. I see that this community has an engagement challenge to talk about a day without the internet - its something that we have had to get used to recently - I normally only access the internet with my mobile phone whilst I'm out at work and it has been having a lot of problems recently too. I am on my computer now where things are working better and I hope to enter the engagement challenge soon and I look forward to reading all of the other entries.
This post might sound sad but the good thing about being out and so busy is that I get to meet a lot of new people and have met a a beautiful young woman. She is very patient with me and I am really enjoying the time that we are spending together. She is helping me to get through a difficult time at the moment and maybe she will drive me around if my car breaks. Ha ha.
Thank you for reading and I will be back soon for the engagement challenge.
Aweh friends.
Hi there!
I’m also from South Africa and I am the country representative for Steemit.
How can I get hold of you? 😊
Hi, nice to meet you! Where in South Africa are you from?
If you reply, I'm here 🙂
I'm from Ballito. Previously from your side of South Africa, Krugersdorp.
Herewith the WhatsApp help group link;
https://chat.whatsapp.com/LHV9eWAlouMDaHNvWLF6Nb
I will get your number from there.
Wow, I dream of living somewhere so beautiful.
Thank you for the invitation but I do not share my phone number with people that I do not know. Have you created a group here on steemit that I can join?
Dreams do come true so keep on dreaming.
No problem, it is understandable that you don't want to share your phone number. That was then also the reason why I sent the link to the group. I don't share my number either.
From there your could have left the group again. It is just so much easier to communicate.
If you read my weekly report you will see what is all in the pipeline for South Africa.

Thank you, I understand. The #smilesouthafrica project is much needed here and I will support it as much as possible
Thank you!
I had a look at your account. Of importance is to increase your Voting CSI for curators to give attention to your posts.
How?
You must vote 20 accounts each day at 50% or 25 accounts at 40%.
In your case your SP is still low so you can only vote at 100% therefore you must vote on 10 accounts each day.
Thank you for the advice. Is it 500 SP that I need before I can change my voting percentage?
