Afternoons mix code reviews, planning discussions and the occasional production incident — everyone pulls together, fixes the issue and feeds the lessons back into the next sprint.

Importantly, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Western Cape operations throw up the unexpected.
