What we’re about
Inspired by the Gamers with Jobs community. This is a safe haven for those of us who grew up with games and geek culture seeking like minded friends for conversation and to grow a community.
Despite the name you do not need to have a job to join.
Most events will be gaming night events online with some in person events with time.
The main communication platform for this group is Discord as it keeps discussion clean from clutter and provides members the safety of communicating without revealing names or phone numbers.

2026 New Year New Brunch - Iris Gardens Rivonia
Iris Garden Eatery, 40 Wessel Rd, Edenburg, Sandton, 2128, Sandton, ZAOur first event for the new year will be a brunch(same as last year) at Iris Gardens in Rivonia.
Let's catch up, welcome new people, share out plans for the new year, enjoy food and coffee.
The cafe has a coffee printer. You can bring a custom picture for them and they'll print it onto your coffee (it costs R10 per print). Send me (Kodama/Alex) your images on Discord in advance to streamline the process.
This will be a free event to attend.

Anime Meetup - Music - Bocchi The Rock
Rivonia,Edenburg, Peach Farm Close, House 2A, Sandton, ZAOur first anime event for the year is music themed and we ended up voting for Bocchi The Rock! as the show we'll be discussing. It's about a group of girls starting a band and the main character has crippling social anxiety. It's much more lighthearted than the shows we did in the past so I hope we'll see more faces.
Date : 3pm on 7 Feb
Venue : It will be in Rivonia, exact venue to be confirmed on Discord
Anime that we'll be discussing : Bocchi The Rock! (12 Episodes)
Discord Server: https://discord.gg/JWFtvmtYjE
Event size : 8 people max (If enough interest I'll open it up to more)
Event fee : R50 per person secures you a spot. Paid in advance(contact Alex/Kodama for banking details) - first come first serve.
Cancellation Refund Timeframe : You need to cancel before 25 January to qualify for a refund. This is to give anyone else on the waiting list sufficient time to watch the anime.
You need to watch the anime in order to join us as it will be the main subject of discussion.
These events are usually fun and interesting deep dives into various anime where we discuss our perspectives. Each event we pick up on things we missed and see shows that we normally wouldn't. We also discuss other things at these events and is mostly light hearted.
