Hi All, What a chilly winters morning it is on the highveld. Beautiful sunshine twisted with a bitterly cold wind – typical Jozi-like weather. The wind is not quite as twisted as the minds of the criminals that prey on the trusting and unsuspecting members of our suburbs. I sent out the warning on Thursday […]

They are impersonating Eskom/Municipal workers coming to change your light-bulbs and/or check your meters etc… Please be on the lookout and inform your Domestic Worker and Gardener. They must be informed about this. If we can get the […]
Hi All, The weather must be mirroring my feelings on the dubious circumstances through which our African brothers from Ghana were knocked out of the World Cup by Uruguay.
